We got the word that today is a short day, hooray!

I asked Tim if he was working a full day, and he said "Well, I might leave early. Like 4:30." Living on the edge there, bro.

t edit To be fair, he usually works until 6 or 6:30, and on Thursdays I'm lucky if he's home before 8 p.m. So for him, 4:30 *is* early.

Also, internet, I noticed that most sites have now gone to having the password field completely blind instead of at least showing the letters briefly. That seriously ups the wrong password factor.

I again hate the cloud. It once again won't sync. If the damn program is on the computer, you can just run it.

Yup. I mistype like a mofo, but I can usually catch it if I can see the letters at least as I am typing them. A lot of sites used to have a box you could check if you wanted to make your password visible but that seems to be out of fashion.

Which is why I hate the idea of cloud-based everything. My productivity should not be based on systems I have no control over.

Yeah, very hate passwords. And I have a password manager on my computer but inevitably I'm trying to log in to some obscure account on someone else's laptop or something and then it's not helpful because I have no idea the random characters it picked!

Also, I love the Billfold and this article amused me because I was like "hey, I know that sister she keeps referencing!": [link]

I'm actually in this dilemma, mostly out of laziness. We've been married over 2 years, and I go by Stephanie [birth name] [married name] professionally, but I haven't actually legally changed my name. I really ought to do it.

I'm not giving up my gmail address, though. (I also grabbed slbeckmeyer as a gmail address when we got engaged, though I don't use it.)

I am in Minneapolis. I just bought a salad and a hunk of smoked Gouda at a wine and cheese shop. My next flight should board soon.

Woot! I get to leave two hours early today and claim full hours! Yay, seniority!

I have thus far been lazy this morning. Some general straightening up. Packing up two ebay sales for mailing. Clearing some things off the TiVo. I have a lot I could do with the day, kinda of overwhelmed with options (which seems to happen a lot and often results in nothing getting done):

- list more things for sale (specifically any toys or potential gift items)
- start cooking my items for tomorrow
- call fence people since all other fence people have fallen through
- make dr appts.

ok, there are more, but just writing that out made it clear that I need to do the calls today since today is the only real work day of this week and those calls need to be made on a workday.

POSTING THINGS HELPS.

In theory I can shut down my computer at 3. In reality, my lunchtime banking and whatnot ran half an hour over, so I'll probably stick around a bit longer.
