Finally Caught Up

I finally caught up on all my work email from over the past three weeks as I was in and out of the office and on vacation. It was sad when I was answering emails from the 18th yesterday. All my reply emails started with, "Sorry for the delay on this reply..."

I am the type of person that tries to keep my inbox empty except for items that I still to respond to or items that I am currently working on. I was up over 200 messages, now I am back down to my around 30 amount that I am usually juggling.

Out of Office

I am out of the office for today and tomorrow. What is so interesting is that I have not set my out of office. I did not set it for Catalyst last week either. I do not know if I didn't because of my Blackberry or just because I did not want to do it. Life sure is different when you can have the always on connection of the Blackberry.

Today while I was at the Webelos Wilderness camp I could not get a signal. I was really away. It was not that weird because I had 5 boys to look after and we stayed pretty busy, but when I sat down to watch the boys swim I thought I could get a signal - but I didn't. I truly had nothing to do. I am bringing a book for tomorrow.

I did receive 20 emails today while I was "away." I only responded to the important ones (sorry if one of yours wasn't responded to, but this was to be a day off).

LINKS for Today

XP is finally gone! Unless you really want it. Then you can get it. This is becoming crazy.

Being able to write a curse word on a test and then getting points for it. That is stupid. What is even more stupid is that the curse does not really answer the question.

What more can you say about Tiger Woods? He is the worlds best golfer on one leg, one and a half legs, on a unicylce, where ever, whenever. He crushes the competition.

World Exclusive! See Walmart's new logo here.

Diana and I watched The Godfather (parts 1 and 2) this weekend and I highly doubt that Grand Theft Auto matches up. The Godfather created the mafia movie and the entire genre that so many people try to rip-off nowadays.

I think that original programming on the internet will take off in the next five years. As soon as everyone has the high-speed access to take advantage of it. If the media companies put good content out for people - we will find it.

This sounds good, but in my line of work I email so much that trying to cut it down would have me on the phone 90% of the time. I am just not willing to do that.

Being able to load videos onto my iPod and then plugging the iPod into my plane seat for a long flight would be awesome. Almost enough for me to want to switch to United. In reality I just want Delta to do this also. It would be awesome.

While it would be great if your company could provide every electronic gadget for you, in reality very few actually help the company and would be paid for by your company. I think everyone should be outfitted with a Blackberry, but not everyone likes being connected to work every second. For me, it is priceless.

Get the computer license to drive. I aced the part I took.

Some email really just is not delivered. Weird. Some of those emails that just go off into the ether have to be mine. I swear that. I think only about half the emails I send are actually delivered and read.

Some cool new laptops from Dell. I like Dell machines. The ones I have bought work great. The one I got from my IT team from work is a piece of junk. It is starting to freeze up sometimes on startup.
