*Sigh*

Well, I'm not sorry to see this week go bye-bye.

Started last Sunday with the Day From Hell at work. It's always lovely when the damn computers go down and while you're trying to recover from that outage the hospital decides Everything needs to be done Now! No lunch and I went home late. Ugh!

Monday, more of the same. Finished with a long exam on an inpatient who was mostly unresponsive and the docs wanted everything plus the kitchen sink. Went home late that day too... :(

Tuesday, started off real well. (/sarcasm) I found that someone didn't like my Obama bumper sticker and decided to put a wood screw in my tire. Nothing like a flat tire to start you day, ya? Wound up being only 15 minutes late, but I had to pay out $240 to replace the rear tires.

Wednesday and Thursday, I just kept my head down to stay out of the line of fire. Had a friend of Donna's in from D.C. so we had some time to visit with him. Wish I could have seen the last few nights of the convention, though. I really wanted to see Obama's speech. From all reports, it was incredible.

Today, hung out at home and doing housework. Our new/used freezer arrived and is now out back. Need to find a lock before we put meaty goodness into it. Got official word that our dossier has been approved, translated and sent by Fed-Ex to Taiwan. So now the wait officially begins. The window for travel opens at the end of December but the latest we'll likely travel is in March. (Hmmm... Birthday trip for me? *grins* That has possibilities.)

Tomorrow, cookout for friends out here in LA-la land. Should be a good time, just need to take care of some stuff and lay on supplies. (Also need to set aside money for the trip to Taiwan to go get Xander.)

So all in all, I don't mind this week being over. Here's hoping next week is better.

Are you sure about someone haten your Obama sticker, that seems rather extreme. Sorry to hear your weak sucked, hopefully next week will get better.

Well, it is one theory. I just am not sure if it is a McCain supporter or a Hillary die hard...

Ah well, it's fixed. So on I go with life.

Hope things are well with you.

Things are going good, I have the following week off from work, taking a vacation at home. Not telling my parents though because then they would want me to visit and fix there computer or whatnot. I guess staying low is my key for the week, and gaming.

I can sympathize with the hard week at work part. While I am keeping silence about this in my own blog, the father of a friend is in my ICU, ad it's really heartbreaking to watch.
The Xander news is excellent! Word from China right now is that our projected pick-up date will be first quarter of 2010. We logged in in April 2007. This is me not holding my breath.

Our China log in was February '07. So we're much in the same boat. That's why we're so happy that Heartsent is allowing us to do Xander concurrent with Sierra.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us.

Jim, if you want, I can send you a copy from my TiVo'ed version here.

Thanks, but I found it on You Tube. Man, that guy knows how to speak.

I believe the Obama speech is available on YouTube...

And yeah, the week couldn't end soon enough to suit me.
