Question for my loyal fans…

Are flowers a good way to say “Zomg, don’t leave! We won’t survive without you! PS, I love you!” to a project manager who just gave 2 weeks notice?

Well, itd probably say more like “Good luck and don’t forget about us. -AppOps”.

Also, does anyone know of a pirate themed flower arrangement I can have delivered?

Looks very close to the short story, based on the trailer.

Just set off my car alarm for my neighbors while trying to move the car in the driveway before the sprinklers hit it… I fucking hate how easy it is to hit the panic button on this thing. I want it dead. I have never used a panic button and doubt I ever would. How useless is it when I set it off all the time (at least four times since I’ve own the car, two since I moved into the house). I found an edmunds road test blog post about the same issue, but no tips on turning it off for this particular remote. I may take the remote apart later and see if I can disable it somehow, but I figure I’ll wait until the neighbors are all back asleep so I can accidentally trigger it again.

Its very strange to go to work and talk with coworkers about yard work and the like. This is not a subject I would have paid attention to a month ago.

James and I dug holes in the back yard looking for a leak in one of the sprinkler zones. We think its right under a big ass tree root and not something we are equipped to tackle on our own. I’ve shut that zone down and set the others to auto, so tomorrow they yard will get watered… shoulda done that last week, my grass is looking dead.

James picked up a push mower and mowed the front lawn in no time at all. We will attempt to do the back yard tomorrow when there is light.

I made some progress on redistributing boxes around the house…. house, not apartment… heh.

Got about four hours sleep last night thanks to work. And most of today was spent working or waiting to work anyway. We’re upgrading our app server software across the entire site. Its a major project that we’ve been working on for months and has been a major point of worry. Thursday is the official cutover, but we put 6 servers in rotation this evening and they’ll be in until monday morning. So far so good.

Saw nicole briefly. Hi nicole!

My a/c works! Woohoo! First night in the house I was able to sleep under the covers and close my windows (blocking out the noise from Kuehner). James and I are plotting out how to arrange the downstairs to facilitate movie nights and pillow rooms. I have a lot of unpacking to do.

Folks have totally made this happen. They’ve been amazing.

I feel bad for james cause so much crap has been in turmoil at the house, including his bathroom getting totally rearranged out from under him a couple times due to shower door work and the clogged a/c drain getting blown out (throwing sludge all over his bathroom including his toothbrush).

I still feel like an idiot for not asking out the cable girl…. damnit.

Why didn’t I ask the cable girl for her number? Whyyyyyy?
