Well, I finished the fresh install of Windows XP and put the new Office 2003 on my system. I hope it holds all year. Seems to be working great. No bugs. Got my webcam picture back just have to start loading it up. They only thins is I have to get used to the Outlook 2003. Totally different interface.
Well, to my new work time tomorrow. Take care to everyone.

Well, this is new. This is the first time I have called out of sick for an entire day at my new job. I have a sinus headache, low grade fever and an overall feeling of fatigue. I think it just the change in weather. Felt pretty good yesterday but woke up not to good. I think all the long hours I have been putting in his contributed to my decline. I am sleeping mostly. I just woke up after being a sleep for most of the day except a 2 hour stretch this afternoon.

I went to the doctor yesterday for a yearly physical. So far, I gotten green thumbs but we have to wait for the blood test and another test because there was a little problem. However, the little problem so far is not a big problem and the Doctor just thinks it might be a benign problem. I don’t want to go into too much detail yet. On the downside, they gave me the wrong prescription. I was supposed to get a subscription for Clarinex and they gave me one for Clarintin. Which is stupid I can buy Clarintin over the counter why would I need a prescription for that. Have to go to work early today. I have to attend some training. So it is going to be a long day.

Hope everyone had a great New Year’s. As for me, I lazed around all day. I have to go back to work a long weekend. Well, something no one has probably thought about it is time to file taxes again. I hope I get back some good money. I am hoping for anywhere from 1500-3000 back. I have big big plans for the money. If I don’t get at least 1500 back I am going to be depressed. Blog at you all later.

Well, Happy New Year Eves to everyone. I hope everyones 2004 is great.

I am feeling better today no sinus headache. But, my right foot has been hurting since Friday. I have no idea what I did to it. It is still smarting today. I have been taking Alieve to help with the pain and swelling. Henry is feeling better also.

Well, it is official. I am sick. Not the flu just a regular old sinus infection/cold. Henry is also sick. His allergies are exploding. I had to take him to the Vet today and spent $43.50 for his shot and associated medications. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Both my days at worked were bad days, have volume of work. I got 4 hours overtime on Friday morning and was looking forward to getting home on time. The only comfort is that I will be getting paid for it.
I think I will be taking 2 or 3 days of holiday time next month to have a very long weekend. I will be reinstalling a fresh installation of Windows at that time. How I wish I could afford a new computer. I want a new AMD 64 bit computer. I think I am either going with Gateway or Alienware for my next computer. Not that I don’t like DELL I will have more upgrade paths available with the other two. I still will recommend DELL even though they wouldn’t warranty my speakers!!!!!
For Christmas I got some socks, gift cards and cash. I hope everybody got what they wanted. That is what I wanted and got. Henry got a chew toy. Take care everyone and maybe blog some more tomorrow if I feel up to it.

I am going to some training tomorrow. So, no work tonight. I hope everyone has a great Christmas. As for me I will be working Christmas Eve Night and Christmas Night. I saw DVD League of Extraordinary gentlemen and it was fair. I give it 3 out of 5 stars. Remember as of January 1, 2004 I will no longer have the domain name or E-mail address of Michael@michaelleemitchell.net and www.michaelleemitchell.net. I am opting for a website that is cheaper has more perks and my whole family will be able to use. I don’t want to give it away yet because I have not registered it yet. Take care to all!

Well, I saw the last of the Lord of the Rings today. Excellent movie except the very very end. I don’t wont to give it away but Why did Froto have to get on the Ship? And where was that Ship Heading? Where were the elves going? Someone answer these questions please or I will read the books to gain my answers.

I went to our workgroup Christmas Party tonight. I had a great time. Thanks to all who put it together.

Well, yesterday was a fine day off I slept about 90% of it after getting home from work at 10 AM and I only got to claim 1 hour overtime the rest was on me I had some odds and ends to do that can only be done during “normal business hours”. Today I am going to our work group Christmas Party and tomorrow making out all the Christmas Cards for mailing. I have only 1 gift to buy and it is for my sister’s boyfriend soon to be fiance (hopefully). Other than that I am looking forward to Thursday. I am going to go see the last Lord of the Rings Movie. I also am touting around the newest Nextel cell phone the i730. It is cooool looking. Take care and talk to everyone later.

After years of being with Nextel I finally got my laptop and PDA to log on to the Internet via my Verizon On-Line Account. Thanks to the Customer Service Technician. Yahooo!
My Christmas shopping is 95% complete. Just a couple of minor things to do. I paid cash for everything. Not going to be an expensive Christmas as far as gifts but at least paid in full.

I am after working Wednesday and Thursday for a total of 34 hours in a 48 hour period I am tired. I slept most of the day yesterday. I am off today through Wednesday. I have to get my teeth clean on Monday. Also, my computer speakers went out and Dell is refusing to warranty the speakers. They said they were not bought with the system. Which is strange because the came with the system. So I will probably shell out some money to Circuit City for some cheap but good speakers. Well, I am lazing around the house for the next couple days debating whether to wipe out my computer and doing a fresh install or wait until after the first of the year. I would like to get a new computer but financially unable at this time. See you all later.

Another day off. I love those. Not that I don’t like the new job because I do. Next month on the 28th will be eight months and still loving it.
Henry Update: Henry is doing fine. I am going to be taking him to the Eye Vet next week for a follow-up check up and see what happens.
Well, I don’t know what I am going to do today. Probably catch up on the TIVO and play a couple of computer games. I took care of the lawn (help out Dad, he did half and I did half) on Sunday. So that is done. Hope everyone is doing great. Take Care!

Ok for all those who have inquiring minds…I did not have a blind date this weekend. My friend and his wife that were going to arrange it were not able to. His wife has been sick and not at work. I was informed Thursday of this fact. So, I have lazed around all weekend. I go back to work tomorrow.

Well, the website is updated for Thanksgiving! I hope everyone has a great one. I will not be working on Thanksgiving Eve or Thanksgiving but have to work the day after, the dreaded start of Christmas Shopping season. Henry is doing great in his left eye. However, the Eye Vet on the day I bought him said the pressure was up in the right eye and he has increased the number of medications. I take him back on the 18th, as you can see from my updated my calendar page.
On a different note I am off this weekend and had planned to do a fresh install of my computer. I will put that off for a couple of weeks waiting on some new software to arrive. I might even have a blind date Saturday night, we’ll see. I have an odd schedule for Wednesday and Thursday. So Take care everyone and hope everyone is doing great! That is all for now.
BTW I am catching up on all my shows that I missed while working this weekend. Also, my cable provider, Adelphia, is upping the rates. So, I am looking at alternatives if anyone has suggestions. Brighthouse is out of the question. Way to expensive.

A fairly lazy weekend. Haven’t felt good so just stayed at home. Feeling somewhat better. Back to the work tomorrow. Should be a busy week.

Henry had to go to the Eye Vet. He has to have another shot in his left eye. The Vet stated he only had one other case where the shot to the eye did not stop the glaucoma. So I have to take him next week and pay another $200.00 to have the eye injected again. The Vet will just charge for the shot and anaesthesia. No stitches this time for Henry though. That Left Eye has always been a pain.
I am off until Friday, going out to dinner with some friends Thursday night to Outback Steakhouse. Take care everyone.

Well, tomorrow is my last day off. Actually, I am kinda of glad. I am looking forward to going back to work. I will have a busy week ahead of me. Saw a couple of good movies while I was off, I bought them on DVD. The In-Laws and The Matrix Reloaded. I also saw Boat Trip but I sold it on Amazon. It was ok but not what I was expecting.
Henry has to go to the Eye Vet again. I noticed his left eye, the one I just spent $700.00 on, looked funny so I called the Vet and have to take him on Wednesday. He has not been complaining about it but I rather be safe than sorry. Speaking of Doctors appointments I have to make a Dentist appointment to get my teeth clean and a physical that includes my flu shot this month.
Well, this is it for now I am including a picture of me showing my beard growth I have to shave…….
