Surgury

I arrived at work sometime after nine this morning. There was still plenty of dictation remaining from yesterday that I worked on over the course of the afternoon. I still didn't finish though, especially with a whole new load of dictation done this afternoon that will be waiting for me on Monday. Dad and I had lunch at Bangkok Cuisine just before noon. We got a Phat Thai as always but got desserts today. I have the banana’s foster pie, which was pretty good. We remained at the office until about 2:30 and then left to go home. We made stops to wash the car and buy a few groceries. Both the hinge and touchpad I ordered for my new laptop came in the mail. The hinges on my ‘new’ SRX77 are loose, causing the display to fall backward. The touchpad was also rather worn and needed replacing to I performed a little surgery on the laptop to fix the problems. I didn’t have any problems, although it was slow work in making sure not to damage the tiny notebook. I also burned a couple hours trying to fix the PC Card release button, which isn’t working. Unfortunately I would need a soldering iron to remove the PCMCIA interface and correct the mechanism so I gave up and decided to let the issue remain not a big deal anyway as I don’t have much use for the card slot anyway. Later in the evening I watched Battlestar Galactica and talked to Khadijah on the phone for a little while.

Nearly five months into the new year and here my first post of 2012. Over the last several months I lost one job and started looking for another one. I started going to the gym and exercising for the first time in my life. I thought I might lack the self discipline to keep up [...]

September 03: Denver in September
Today was the first of a five day trip to Denver with my friend Bianca. Tropical Storm Lee was moving towards the Louisiana coast today, bringing substantial but intermittent rain since yesterday. I wasn’t really worried about flight delays but I did think street flooding could keep us from the airport. The ride to the [...]

August 26: Progress
Nearly two months have passed since my last post. Seeing a June date on my homepage after all this time has finally compelled me to throw another entry on here. I had planned a nice little summary of my month of jury duty at Orleans Criminal District Court but I couldn’t muster the enthusiasm. I [...]
