Hi Ben,

that I tell it to do and get frustrated when it doesn't. Thankfully I'm married to a computer guru/geek who keeps me (and the computer)
straight.

"It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it." (G)

Yes, he's been good about that. Right now he's trying to figure out how
to get something printed from the tablet. At one time I could do it but
then somebody, somewhere along the line, reconfigured something and I
can't any more.

I didn't want to get up that early. (G) I've been battling bronchitis
and not sleeping well so if I have the chance to sleep a few extra
minutes, I'll take it. Speaking of taking, I've been taking antibiotics since Monday afternoon; they're beginning to kick in.

Harsh! I hope you get past all that ASAP.

It's improving but I'm still not pushing things. One job at a time,
unless it's a multi tasking one like laundry. I've got the last (of 2)
loads in the dryer while typing this.

Some of my earliest jobs were night shift. I felt so driven those
days, that i would try to accomplish a full day's worth of my own
stuff during the daylight hours. Consequently i was perpetually sleep deprived and i could fall asleep nearly any time and sleep through
nearly anything. No longer willing nor able to burn the candle at
both ends like that.

I understand. When Steve got to his first duty station (Fort Hood) after
all of his initial training, one of his first assignments was a guard
shift, 3 days of day shift, then 3 of swing shift, and finally 3 of
graveyard. Thankfully that lasted only 3 weeks. Then, our first year in
Berlin, he worked 2 months of 6 day shifts, 2 days off and 6 days of
swings, followed by 2 days off. After that, it was a month straight of
mids. Stateside schools brought an end to that; when he was finished, he
went to straight day shifts, M-F.

I joined Fido/Cooking in late January, 1994. Pat Stockett was moderator
then and Sam Waring was in the echo. Had some real characters here,
including Wes Pitts and Jim Bodle (and more). Made some good friends
over the years and have had lots of good meals, both from recipies
grabbed from the echo and at picnics.

... I'm clinging to sanity by a thread. Hand me those scissors.
