OK so here I sit in my hotel room in Stafford, VA wondering what today will bring. It seems that every site that they send me too is a test of my will. I haven’t been to a site yet that went smoothly. No I take that back I have had ONE site that went smoothly and we finished it in one day. But all the others seem to be missing crucial parts and supplies that we need to finish the sites. BLEH. So its about 8:20 in the morning and we are waiting on a FedEx package that was supposed to show up last week, but it contains ALL the contents that we need to finish the rest of the sites that we have scheduled for this week.
I was hoping the company would cancel my trip this week due to Isabel and power outages, but no such luck. But I did get a lot of interesting information yesterday, so I’m fairly happy about that.
I managed to burn ALL of my minutes on my phone in 4 days while I was in Cali, but it looks like I can get reimbursed for it, so I’m not so pissed off anymore. And Apple delivered my original Powerbook order last night. So Technically Kelly and I have 3 Powerbooks right now, but alas we have to send the other one back. I just have to call Apple today and get them to send out some labels so we can ship it back, so unfortunatley I don’t even get to open it.
My Powerbook is working out fairly well so far, I haven’t run into any problems. The only thing that sucks is that sometimes the Finder gets all crazy and doesn’t allow anything to launch, but I think that is going to be addressed with Panther. It also doesn’t like dial-up that much, this 28.8 connection is killing me right now, but its all I got. Right now I’m trying to send out my daily status report but of course I cant’ use Mail because you can’t connect to Adelphia’s SMTP server unless you are on the Adelphia network (POS). GRRRRRRR. I HATE ADELPHIA.
OK I need to wrap this up so I can get to work, hopefully the package will have arrived but probably not. So we will have to come back down here later this week.
