How about a big Polka dot bow tie and a flowered suit jacket. Er, no, I guess that's for Hockey announcers, not baseball games. Nevermind. |

At least I know where to find one of you slackers. JC, we have a guy up here in the "thumb" who does a decent business helping folks with software problems. Are you strictly hardware or do you untangle software as well? |

I untangle most things. I build, train on software packages, do software support and network support. I don't code. It bores me to tears. |

You're up around Port Austin, correct? I think that support people are a little less common in your neck of the woods. They're a dime a dozen down here, what with all the layoffs and downsizing. Everyone is trying to make a buck. |

The guy who helps me out is a retired executive who lives on 12 waterfront acres around Harbor Beach so I don't think he's hurting too bad. I suspect the prior work set him up. He does this to keep busy & often won't charge unless he has to go out on a call. I usually have to talk him into charging me if he solves my problem over the phone. Folks like him (and you) are invaluable to computer dummies like me. I just struggled through a mail merge project which would have been a snap for you. |

For what it's worth: While looking for church papers and report cards and stuff between periods of the Red Wings game, I found an old book being used to press a whole bunch of four leaf clovers. The book is titled: "The Modern Home Physician - A New Encyclopedia of Medical Knowledge (1943)." Out of 792 pages, I opened it to a page with the following description: "Nostalgia. Homesickness, especially a sufficient degree of it to cause mental and bodily depression, is called nostalgia. It may amount to a serious disability. For example, when the youthful Louis Pasteur first left his father's tannery in the village of Arbois to study at Paris, he was attacked by nostalgia to such an extent that he became visibly ill. He confessed to one of his companions, 'If only I could get a whiff of the tannery yard, I feel I would be cured.' His condition grew so alarming that his father was summoned, and took him home. Thus the boy smelled the beloved tannery once more, and was restored to his family and to peace". |

I didn't go looking for this! It literally practically fell on me, ala Joel Zumaya. But it basically says we're not only visibly ill, but mentally ill, and potentially seriously disabled. But the optimist (or opportunist) side of me just had his next several sick leave requests written for him. BTW, I found a couple of yearbooks. Z: You went to Nassau? Lucky.

You all are incredible - and yes, being reprimanded as a slacker, definitely got me back to work and away from communications - darned that ingrained guilt! You all are a bad influence on me....and I'm sticking to that story! |
