maedbh7's chains, but oh well.... :-)
Life: Had to arrange for shares of stock to transfer from one account to another so I have money for the next two weeks. Were it not for this I'd be flat broke betw een Monday and the 29th.
Death: Jan Jewell has asked me to help her deal with the press in getting Leonard Zubkoff's obituary out. She's run up against brick walls. I made phone calls. I hit different brick walls.
I may have succeeded with th e SF Chronicle. Jan's e-mail to them took a week before it bounced; turns out she mispelled "sfchronicle.com" as "sfchronical.com". I got the e-mail address of the editorial obituaries.
The Mercury News didn't want to publish it without a memorial service notice. They ignored the e-mail Jan sent because she wasn't a funeral home.
Survival: I had to make up the work for the day I lost taking Warren to Sacramento this week. Yesterday I pulled a 16-hour marathon. I was concerned about not s howing up on site. Turns out they tore down my cubicle and hadn't finished moving it and wanted me to work off site!
Cell Phones: My KLIV paycheck made its way into my bank account. I am no longer flat broke. I can afford to change my ph one setup, and given my cellular phone bills, I can't afford not to. Perjohno and drewkitty I'm going to replace the good analog phone and the busted Nokia phone with a pair of free Nokia 3360s. I called Warren this af ter noon to find out what color he wants.
Next, I'll get the same planjohno and chriso have so Warren and I can call each other for free when we're not at the same place. This will further cut my bills.
WHEEEEE!!

The only no snow job cell phone sales person I've ever encountered.
I walked up to the table at TnT, told her what I wanted. She confirmed back all the details and answered all my Qs. 15 minutes later we had the phones.
If you give them my name, I get a $25 equipment credit. No big whoop if you don't give them my name.
