Well, here it is 10:30 AM, and there's only one other person at the office besides me. I have mixed feelings about that... on the one hand, it bothers me that everyone else gets to "telecommute" (polite euphemism) but I don't; on the other hand, I'll freely admit that I much prefer to be at the office alone as much as possible.
I did just confirm that we're going to be closed on Monday, so that will be nice... I can spend the day studying and reviewing for my next test. :-)
In other news, my boss is planning to retire our file server and outsource all storage arrangements. I've asked him if I can have the server when he retires it. He told me that he needs to check on one thing, but if that goes OK, the server is mine. *hop hop* I can definitely use something like that at the house for my studies. And for other fun stuff. I should be finding out about that within a few weeks or so at most, since the outsourcing is supposed to be finished by June 20th.
Still waiting to hear from Matt and Sparrow about whether they tried that bread recipe, and if so, whether they liked it... *grin*
Back to work with me.

I might be going over to an old friend's boat house for the weekend in Mass. It kinda sux though that it's gonna rain all weekend. Yucky.

I've said that a few times, but I don't think he would dare go anywhere. Keep in mind he basically has to be ready to handle trouble at the office on a moment's notice.

Bleah, that's no fun. We're already starting the summer temp bouncing here -- varying 20 degrees from one day to the next. (See namelink.) Supposed to be nice here for the weekend, but as I never go outside, that kinda doesn't matter...lol

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it's already long since been decided that it's definitely the next bread I make. It may sound goofy, but I've been waiting until the weather got good enough for me to become more active again. Otherwise, I just can't handle that level of calories in my diet. I've got one of those bodies where, ever since I hit thirty, I've got to play calorie police if I want to keep my weight at 200 or below.
Posted by: Sparrow at May 23, 2003 11:23 PMUnfortunately, I went on a diet that restricts my carbohydrate intake :( I've lost 12 lbs so far, but I did send the recipe to my mom and sister, and they said they will make it. I will hopefully get to taste some when they do.
Posted by: Matt at May 25, 2003 12:20 AMBe careful with Atkins-type diets. Restricting carbohydrates means you are literally starving yourself despite putting food inside your body. Along with the weight loss, you're getting an increasing build-up of ketones. In the short term, no damage done. In the long term, you'll be suffering for the rest of your life. And I do mean *suffering*. Do a google on ketones and you'll see what I mean.
I still eat all the same things when dieting that I ate when not dieting, just in measured quantities. Your body needs a variety of nutrients.
