Weekly Wrap-up 2005_24

The weather has been variable this week, from blue and pretty early in the week to another late-season rain storm on Thursday.

I've started using Mighty Mouse, a cursor customization program from Unsanity software. I like my new cursors.

I am using a combination of cursors from three sets:

• most of a set called "large arrow" (except that I'm not using the large arrow :-)
• a blue "wait" cursor that came with the app, in the sample cursors folder
• a "dragon" pointer from the Skreibe Two set (I really like this one)

We had a re-organization in the Engineering division at The Company last week. I'm now reporting to a new Software Director (both new for me and new to The Company). We had a meeting last Monday for me to introduce myself. We're having a team meeting next Monday.

The Job is going well. I have several projects on the fire right now (although some things are on hold while people I need to work with are heads-down on the current Beta release.) They're supposed to be coming up for air sometime next week...

I've been buying Post CarbWell high protein, low carb, cereal bars for breakfast bars. These have recently been re-branded under the "South Beach" name. Also, Kraft (the parent company) is no longer labeling these as "Post" cereal bars. Odd. Anyhoo, rebranded or not, they taste the same and now there's a new flavor — chocolate! In case you're wondering, I like the peanut butter and the cranberry almond (and the chocolate ;-). I don't care for the cinnamon raisin.

This week I read Murder Between the Covers, Dying to Call You, and Just Murdered, all by Elaine Viets. These are the 2nd through 4th books in the "Dead-End Job" mystery series. They're well written, well characterized, and fun.

In between and around the rest, I've had almost enough naps and plenty of snuggles with the cats. There have been good meals and interesting conversations with Spouse and friends. I've had a few chats with my Dad (who finally got his USB card reader working!)* and exchanged email with my Mom and sister.

Onward and Upward.
