Wordless Wednesday: Back to School
It’s back to school in a couple weeks. Here’s a picture of Zoe from her very first day of school in 2005.

Let this be a lesson to y’all
The computer program that runs the business crashed yesterday morning. Tech support concluded that the database was corrupt and that we needed to restore from the back-up. Let the record show that we back-up our system every single night, however no one had realized that back-up had been failing.
Yesterday was August 4th, and when was the last good back-up from? WHEN? HMMM?
July 26th.
(This is where everyone starts to scream and then takes massive amounts of headache medicine, possibly has a couple drinks too and then calls a friend to see if they’d like to come by work for “a tour or something” *wink wink*)
Today has been a complete nightmare. EVERYTHING that was recorded in the computer system from Saturday, July 26th thru Monday August 4th has been lost. EVERYTHING has to be reentered by following the paper trail: quotes, jobs, purchase orders, packing lists, invoices, receivables, timekeeping, payroll hours, etc…
Would you like to stop for a tour? There’s a cubicle with your name on it. I’ll even make a fresh pot of coffee.
No?

Lots to tell you….
But it’ll have to wait until tomorrow! Here’s a few tidbits to get you through, and to remind me of what I need to write about: I need a root canal, my nephew threw a rock at my husband, finance class is over, and I’m off of work for the rest of the week.
Waiting
It seems that all I’ve been doing lately is waiting.
Waiting for the my grades to get posted online for the Human Resources class I completed (I got an A).
Waiting for my daughter to come home from swimming in the neighbors pool (she did come home, about 7 hours after she left).
Waiting for Louis Vuitton to fix the zipper on my handbag that I bought over 15 years ago using my tax return money to purchase (a check that I waited FOR.EVER to receive in the mail). Waiting for FedEx Home Delivery to deliver my repaired handbag so I can go on with my life knowing that the contents of my purse are securely zippered inside. I waited ALL DAY on Saturday for them to deliver it, after missing them on Thursday and Friday, it wasn’t on the truck for some unknown reason.
And today I’m waiting for the sprinkler people to come out and turn on my sprinklers so that I can water my grass — and my flowerbeds, which I’m waiting for my husband to design so that we can actually have flowerbeds.
I’m also waiting for summer. We got a peek at it yesterday when it was 90 degrees out, but today, it’s back down to 53.
I’m waiting for June 13th because we are going to Door County for a short getaway to one of my favorite places ever.
I’m waiting for August 19th, which is the LAST day of my very last graduate class that I’m registered for for my Master’s in Business Administration. I still have two classes to take after that, and the capstone, but I’m WAITING until after Christmas, I think.
And I’m waiting for September because then I’m going to DISNEY WORLD!!!!
That’s a lot of things to wait for. What are you waiting for?
Oh, and the sprinkler people are here, so now I’m waiting to see if the new play set is smack dab on top of a sprinkler head. What are the chances?
What day is it?
Payday got switched from Thursday to Friday last week. It’s the first time I’ve not been paid on a Thursday in about 15 or 16 years. I’m so discombobulated now. It’s not that I need the money on Thursday. It’s that when I was paid on Thursday, then I knew it was Thursday. Now Monday is back to work, Tuesday is school, Wednesday is recover from school, and Thursday is just another day, and I seriously sat down to write something now and I was ready to do a Thursday 13 because I was pretty sure it was Thursday (but it’s Friday). See? DIS.COM.BOB.ULATED.
On a sidenote about the playset: hands down the best money ever spent. Zoe has spent practically every waking moment on it, and I think she went from watching more tv per day than I want to admit, to watching approximately 1-1/2 hours total since Monday. Oh, and I made it completely across on the monkey bars, in case you were wondering.
