If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
That's been the story of my life today, which is why I haven't had a chance to post any links today. I was on the phone or slammed in a *nix command line, install/reinstalling/configuring/bulldozing my Smoothwall setup. It's working damn skippy now, and I've managed to get a dedicated cable modem from the cable company here (I was borrowing one from one of our houses that was unoccupied), so now it's off to start configuring the desktops I've purchased.
But before that can happen, I've just been given word that a full-page ad we have running in the Sunriver Scene (the local monthly newspaper which has one of the most entertaining police blotters out there) has to be updated for the next issue. The deadline? Tomorrow morning. Luckily I know the person laying out the pages there, and I know I have an additional day if I need it.
Thankfully, I finally am getting a break tonight: I'm finally going to go see Episode III. Assuming I can stay up, as I'm frickin' exhausted.

t said on 06/14/05 @ 10:23 PM: ah quit your whinning, welcome to the world. I'm so not impressed. your wife probably does more work then with 2 kids in one day then you in 1 week. Waaaah
Jake said on 06/14/05 @ 10:55 PM: Jim: Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
t: Never once will you hear me say I work harder than my wife. I'll never say that because after just a day with the kids, I'm beat. That being said, my wife is sympathetic of me, as I am of her. She couldn't do my job nor could I hers. We both do our part, and I take the kids off her hands the minute I walk in the door (and do everything I can on the weekends).

Jake said on 06/15/05 @ 10:23 PM: Yes, I did take it out, BB. Apparently the sarcasm in it wasn't obvious enough.
