My thoughts as I drove home…
Now, that I’m home…
They say you should dress for the job you want, not the job you have. What if I want to work from home? Should I come to work in a bathrobe?
I painstakingly changed the source to WordPress to get rid of the fancy quotes last week. Today I upgraded my version of WordPress and completely forgot about that change. So now those pesky “fancy” quotes are back! Ugh. Time to look for a plugin… and I might have found one. Or I might try this.
Update: the one that adds lines to the theme is the one I’m using.
One of my goals for my websites, including this one, is to look presentable both in print and on a handheld. Well, I found out today that this blog doesn’t look so hot in either mode. I also found out that my tool for rounding corners (a jQuery plugin) runs even when in print mode. So I’ve got to change my site to use CSS so the rounded corners don’t show up in print mode.
(If you hover over “CSS” you’ll see that I’m using the abbr tag. For a good article of abbr vs. acronym, read this.)
As I was creating the vacuum post last night, I was a little irritated by my WordPress template because it has a fixed width of 800 pixels wide. So I was thinking of making it 1024 pixels wide and wanted to make sure my readers (all 3 of you) didn’t use a resolution lower than that. And sure enough, no one is using a screen resolution of 800 pixels wide! Yea! Now I can change the template. Only problem is, now I have to change the template. (Read: more “work”.)
I went to change Joel and was surprised that he had a really poopy diaper. I thought to myself, “why didn’t I smell this? Oh, yeah! Because I can’t smell anything!”
The vacuum was making strange noises, but I chalked it up to the belt breaking. Well, after replacing the belt, it still was making strange noises. Taking a closer look, I found this:

Yes, a nail sticking through the motor casing! Yikes!
Warning: this post is probably TMI – too much information! (Although I don’t talk about bras.)
I’m sick. It started with Saturday when I was stuffy from allergies. Then yesterday it was really bad. I took a half dozen allergy medications to no avail. Earlier in the week I thought maybe I was sick, but Christi pointed out that I was better at work (where my allergies don’t bother me.) So all day yesterday I thought it was just allergies… until nightfall. I was up most of the night vomiting and running a fever. I woke up with a temp of 101.1°, but I went to work anyway because 1) I wanted to breathe cleaner air and 2) I’m in a class and would’ve felt bad missing it.
