The big snow and the Big Sale

Well starting Monday night we had the annual late winter.. isn't it March for godz sake storm. There was 7 in on the ground Tuesday at 9am and 10 by the end of the day.

Alex and I bachelored it on Monday night and rented Aliens vs Predator. Great flick, tons of fun, completely mindless, and very NOT scary.

So anyway Tuesday comes around and one of my two appointments had already moved themselves to Wednesday (ie today) because of the storm coming. The other did Tues am, so I stayed at home with Alex who had a "snow day" and worked the phones for most of the day.

Today dawned bright and early and I was scheduled to be a "Star" salesman. Now this is NOT a referrence to greatness. No instead draw a star in the air, and that is what I did today.. I went all the way here.. then all the way down there.. then all the way over there.. For those of you that know the locale, I started at 7:30 in Menands at the Albany Chamber Monthly breakfast. Then back to the 'burg to grab some things I'd forgotten in my haste to get out the door. Then to Schenectady and the office and then on to Cobleskill for a 1pm. This is the site of the "big sale". It's my first "real" sale of any dollar significance. A phone system for 3.6K.

Then back all the way to Schylerville for a 4:30. Did a first presentation for a phone system for the town of Saratoga offices. Finally home by 6:30.

So all in all a productive if "milesome" day.

OUT

Ok so what happened to daily postings? 1) I don't have something to say every day? (not likely if you know me). 2) I'm already bored with this blogging thing (not likely as my attention span is a bit better than that) NO it is 3) NO bloody time!!. More later today. Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. -- Jerry Garcia, (of the Grateful Dead)

Saturday Night and Sunday Saturday Night Dinner and Martini's Our dinner at Bamboo Asian Fusion was very good. This place was a bog standard "Hibachi cooking table" restaurant, as well as the best of the fine dining at the Paradisus. The restaurant lived up to its name on both counts, very good food, but not superlative performance. The only complaint I had was that the food was much saltier than normal. I started the night with a Coconut Martini, which was actually quite good as a starter drink. I had another at the dinner, but the sweetness was a bit much so I switched to regular dry Vodka Martini's. This was a mistake because five or so later.. well I was hungover the next day. In the mean time we had a really fun time after dinner hanging out with lots of Liza's friends. You will even find a picture of one of the women we were hanging with smoking a cigar on the Photo Bucket site . Another lovely night in Paradise. Sunday - ATV ride and the Closing dinne...

Computer Tech Spent a good five hours today working with the new ED computers. The boss had finalized arrangements Friday for a new place for the new company so we are out of the old building finally. I really hated going in to the old building every day! Anyway the owner's sister (remember this is a NEW owner - not the much berated old owner of the old business) is a CIS person for a big corporation. They just upgraded their old computers so she was able to gift us with two Dell computers. One is sweet: 128 Mg Ram, decent size HD for business, PII chip and Windows 98se. The other was problematic however: it had 2000 professional in it so I had to reformat the HD with Windows 98se (so the two computers could network if needed). It only has 64 mg of Ram and it also has a PII. The problem was that the video card - not on the motherboard thank god - would not work in 32bit color with W98. Well I had an ATI Rage laying around that I bought for A's computer but could no...
