| 7:17 pm | Quoted for truth "Heavenly Father, "Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children. "Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester. "Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares. "Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together. "Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love." -- Author Unknown |

| 7:51 am | Experience with CCHS CCHS is Cross Country Home Services. For a relatively small monthly fee, they guarantee to replace / repair all major appliances in your home, including your air conditioning and heating. Sounds like a scam, don't it? That's what I thought, but I have a policy through them anyway. Turns out that it's the real deal. Our water heater died right before Christmas. I called CCHS, and they opened up a claim for me, no muss, no fuss. Had the heater replaced two days later (due to the holidays - CCHS doesn't pay for overtime unless it's an emergency). Total out of pocket: $50.00 co-pay, plus $40.00 for them to haul away the old heater. Considering that the heater would've cost $500.00 to replace, not counting labor charges for installation, I'm extremely pleased. As a side benefit, we found a nest of carpenter ants under the old heater, and took care of that too. |

| 2:58 pm | Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd... Most folks who know me know that I'm more than passing familiar with the story of Sweeney Todd, from the original folk song through the Broadway musical. So it should come as no surprise that I've seen this latest version of the tale: the movie starring Johnny Depp et al. ( Cut for possible spoilers ) |

| 11:16 pm | The week from hell.... I left my old job to get away from extended hours... This past week, I have been in the office at 7:30am, and not out before 10pm. Until today. I managed to leave at about 6pm. Bleah. |

| 7:48 am | IJ reminds me very much of LJ before they went - for lack of a better phrase - gadget-happy. It's obviously built on the same engine. I bought a permanent account yesterday, and will be migrating over here as soon as I get anything important backed up from my LJ. |

| 7:52 am | Oddness this morning This morning was one of those "autopilot" mornings where I don't think I really woke up until I got to work. Usually when I autopilot, I wake up before I get the car started. Today I find myself at my desk wondering just how I got here, and did I forget anything important... I have a snippet from a friend's filk running through my head... "Are my couch and my curtains destroyed, and is the carpet defiled?" And that question will be answered when I get home tonight. |
