454,357 at level 11 on the iBook just now. Oooo do my hands hurt. That will keep my coworkers busy when next I work.

So what have I been doing, nothing useful I can assure you. Working mostly to the point of Collapse. Best score to date 358,544. My coworker who introduced me to the game tried to beat my previous best score of 313,452. No only did she fail, but I set a new high score for her to beat. Oh what fun we have when it is dead quiet at work. It doesn't happen often. I even play when at home and let me say playing on a laptop is a challenge with this trackpad instead of a mouse. I did get to level 10 however. I know I really should do more useful and practical stuff but the last several days at work have been stressful and I needed release.

Aside from work, the only excitement was a Yahoo Groupss free weekend. Groups were down and people tried backups. Some failed spectacularly as they were unable to handle the load from Yahoo. Yahoo came back up before the backups. And the mail still is slow. That's nothing new with Yahoo thou.

Working overtime, what fun. Well, I am a bit tired so haven't done much. Today, if anyone is counting, is six months from 9/11. I doubt I will ever forget that day watching CNN, watching those planes crash into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, watching in horror as the realization that we were under attack on our own soil sunk in, watching too the heroic efforts of those who were involved in the rescue efforts. We saw and heard of many heros, some (in the plane that went down in Pennsylvania) who gave their lives to prevent further tragedy. In the time since, we have thankfully not seen a reoccurance. And the only big scare seemed to be the anthrax laced mail. haven't heard much bout that lately. So, what else happened. People came to gether to support and lift each other up, to provide comfort in the face of adversity, to provide a bit of cheer to get our minds off the stress, to get back to living. Of course, all this has been a terrible distraction to the task of maintaining my site. So, I haven't done much, and sometimes all I want to do is have a little mindless fun.

It's March already and I haven't done much of anything except try to keep up with the email, a task I am hopelessly behind on. I haven't written any stories as I have a bad case of writers block. And I have a bad case of greed too. I DO want the new iMac thou I haven't said anything about it. The top of the line DVD creating one is what I want and I can't afford it. It's so beautiful too. So, I wait and work, even working a little overtime thou it is not too brilliant as it hurts still to do too much. Back to the mail.
