Update on Manage my Inbox

It’s been a few days and I am making great progress here. It is now the end of my work day, and I only have 311 unread e-mail items. Woo-hoo! Only 291 more to go to reach my goal of 20!

Santa Rocks!

I was never into Play Station, but ever since Santa put "Guitar Hero" under the tree I spent countless hours playing some of my all time favorite hits from way back in the day.... Iron man, I Love Rock and Roll, Infected, Sharp Dressed Man, and even the all time classic Smoke on the Water!














This is definitely the game that will unleash the rocker inside of you! Maybe by the end of the year I will become the next Guitar Shero!

Thanks Santa!


Beyond Step One

My e-mail inbox is haunting me! I know my network administrator thinks I’m a pack rat, and it’s probably part true, but it has become impossible for me to read, reply, and act on every single e-mail I receive. The spams are obvious and I usually delete those right away, but even after that I still have hundreds of unread e-mails sitting in my inbox. At it’s worst I had over a thousand, but then I started deleting some of the newsletters, too, knowing I will never have time for them. I often think about hitting “select all” and then “delete” but I lose the courage to do it. So, I’m adding this as another goal for the new year. I’m hoping I can at least get it down to about 20 e-mails and then continue to manage it from there.

Don’t they say: “The first step to recovery is to admit you are powerless over technology, and your e-mail box has become unmanagable?”

P.S.

Does anyone have a map on how to get there?

In the Real World...

It never fails… every place i have ever worked there is always someone around to compare the current work place with what’s out in the real world…. you know the story….

“In the real world things aren’t done that way.”
“In the real world I would be making twice as much money.”
“In the real world they would never get away with that.”
“In the real world they would never survive.”

I guess that means all these years when i thought i had real jobs it was all a big lie… some sort of fantasy. Anyways, with the new year approaching i decided that just once i would like to visit this real world. Looks like this is going to be one of my New Years resolutions. Anyone with me?

Creative Void

The creative part of my brain is void. I want to change the look and feel of my website, but everytime I set out to do it – nothing…. I ran out of creativity long sigh




I even went to some dynamic content generator sites to help me out… I end up not liking how it turns out so I end up putting it back to the way it was. I guess I’ll just have to stay stuck for a while… another long sigh

Tidings of Comfort and Joy

Tonight if you hear a bloody scream throughout the neighborhood it won't be me. You won't see that cool little orange and black Geek Squad pulling me over tonight. For the first time since I bought this computer x years ago I finally backed up my hard drive.

I know. I'm a bad IT Director. Go ahead... bend my dog tags and stamp my meal card "no desserts." Yes, I'm like the plumber with the leaky pipes, or the mechanic with the tap it noise in the engine.... I know what I ought to be doing, but after working with technology all day long the last thing I want to do is come home and pull preventive maintenance.

Well that was until I went and got a cool disk imaging tool. My first option was going to be Norton Ghost, but after reading user reviews I decided to try something different so I went with Acronis True Image. The whole operation took less than an hour to download, install, and perform the backup. Sweet. I no longer have to hold my breath when I see an orange and black car in the neighborhood. I know they're not coming to take my pc away. Yes... these are tidings of comfort and joy. I'm free to exhale.

Why Weight?

Happy Holidays people!
(a PC Wal-Mart X-mas greeting for those of you who care)

One of my friends reminded me of why this is my favorite time of the year... Although I don't usually make it a habit of jumping on the scale on a regular basis, I can feel the pounds creeping on... well, my pants acutally notice it before I do... but the good new is I can gain all the weight I want and nobody really gives a f***. Seems they have all gained weight too. Something about committing gluttony starting with Halloween, cruising through Thanksgiving, and then big plans to over do it at X-mas.

Why? Cuz we have confidence in ourselves.... Cnfidence that we will "resolve" to lose all the weight we want on New Year's Eve and reach our target weights by the time lent is over (or whatever other future sacred date we have in mind).

Yeah... this is cool... hallelujah.... thank god for holidays.... otherwise, how else would I explain this fry bread shape for a body?
