So Dern Busy *#@&

5a_2.jpe

See Angel. This is what I got from my boss.    0.0  Sees everyone else looking. Context time and explanations. 

 

Sorry I have not been up on pictures. Work is really picking up as the fiscal year is getting ready to end on the 31st. That means auditors. In fact I expect a pair on the 30th. I’m ready for them but I can ill afford to drop the ball again. Been on damage control for two months. But it kind of made things interesting. And I get to meet with the President of the College every week. Should have been doing that for the last three years. But nevah mind me.

To make things more interesting my boss left today. He retired after 22 years at the College. Since I graduated I have not stayed with one company more than three years so I am in awe of him. He gave me his HP iPAQ 1950 in parting. Cool huh? I better use it to stay organized. Hey Kelly it has MSN on it.  :)   I just need a password for the College wifi. Will get that tomorrow.

The weekends have kept me busy as I finally broke down and started cleaning my pig sty of a home office. But I am getting it under control. Also been knocking out June financials for 12 to Midnight. Need to get July sales entered so I can pay our imprints and may have to pay some freelancers too. This freelancer system needs to be formalized so these folks can get paid on time. I don’t like to pay late. Bad for business.

I promise to get some more pictures up some kind of way. Hate being such a slow poke.

And back to Angel. This HP iPaq is pretty cool. I like it because it has MS Outlook, MS Excel, and MS Word on it. I plan on loading my PlanPlus software on it and I should be one organized son of a gun. And there’s always solitaire and bubbles for procrastination. Give me time and I’ll get Mah Jong or Sudoku software too. I’m hooked on those games. Good luck making your decision. Maybe you can MSN me for more of my impressions on this device.

(Still envious of May’s Mackie. But I’m married to IBM.)

  9. L B Says:

    I am thinking of junking everything and going back to pencil and erasers, and a small notepad tucked inside my back pocket… *sigh*… or just borrow someone’s smoke fires…*double sigh*

  10. bkworm Says:

    Wow! What a nice boss you have! Envy…envy…

  11. candi Says:

    Wheeee!!! Yeah! Looks darn cool!

    Married to IBM? Gee… that makes two of us ;)

    *leaves some feathers & hugs for mistiliu… and winnliuliu oso* :D

  14. Jane Says:

    Been busy too… hugs… I’ve been out of this blogger world sometimes… I will come back…soon… I will try…
    Hugs

  15. lucia Says:

    hey so you finally got a PDA! the HP iPAQ 1950, though not as advanced as my dell axim x51v, it is a good basic start-up PDA. do enjoy your new toy! :)

  16. simple american Says:

    I hope it helps me May. Need something to keep me on task. So are there red-headed Mackies?

    I’m really surprised I got it Daphnewood. But it will help as it has wifi features and that will keep me in touch as I am out and about on campus. I think this would be very good tool for a doctor.

    Go buy one Wuching. Dun be jelez.

    Hey Chen. You got softwares? Not advocating piracy. *wink wink*

    But you are a strong girl Titoki. You can take wif you right?

    Oh come on L B. We all know you have been to close to May’s Mackie. Perhaps you need to consider that instead.

    No longer my boss. He has ridden into the sunset Bkworm. But he really surprised me by giving me this.

    *muacks* Done Candi. ;)

    *ah choo* Allergic to feathers. How are you Angel and the alphabet? You married to my missus too. Wah!!!! Hugs back.

    I know you will return Jane. Hugs for you too.

    Now I wanna trade it in Lucia. ;) I like it. If I get my PlanPlus to work on it I will be ecstatic. I likes being able to priorize the Franklin Covey way.

  17. simple american Says:

    I forgot all about the ribbons. Haiz… Good thing I check the spam first. Pink Cotton was tagged as spam. Hugs. Save you from that fate now.

    It was real nice of him. I was very surprised. He had been using it all this time and he saw no need for it once he left.

    Pink Cotton gets the Blue Ribbon. (I don’t give out gold)

    May earns the Red Ribbon.

    Daphnewood grabs a White Ribbon.

  18. pinkie Says:

    At the moment, I’m engaged to the IBM dinosaur at work, not that I have a choice :(

    Cool new toy u have :)

  19. laymank Says:

    with the new gadget and wireless connection, does that mean you will be able to blog from it as well?? :p

  20. py Says:

    Cheer you on.

  21. mistipurple Says:

    hahaha you called angeliu, angel and the alphabets!! making me think of soup!!
    *looks around for angeliu and winnliuliu!*

  22. simple american Says:

    No. I’m really married to IBM Pinkie. The missus is employed by IBM. keke I like my PDA. Always wanted one. It’s just coolness for a geek like me.

    I never thought about blogging from it laymank. *jaw drops* hehe I got IE on it. So why not. :D Woo hoo! Thanks for pointing that out. Honestly I had not even thought about that.

  23. simple american Says:

    Thank you PY. Hugs!

    Angel soups sounds nice mistiliu. I seed Angel earlier. But I am missing Winnie the Liu. She must be busy liao.

  24. J Says:

    i waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant one!!!

  25. Etchen Says:

    Just catching up on your blog–the trip sounds like it was amazing. The pictures are great–did you see much fo the Northern Lights(or did oyu mention that alreadya dn I haven’t gotten to it yet–if so…sorry!) Missed you!

  26. simple american Says:

    Don’t they sell them around the corner from Starbucks JJ? But it like you bought those books. ;)

    Missed ya too Etchen. Did not see any Northern Lights. But I sure saw a lot of beautiful country.

  27. yl Says:

    I ALSO WANT!!!!!!!!!! HOW COME I DUN HAVE SUCH A BOSS?!?!?!?!?!

  28. simple american Says:

    It took me years to find one. And then he goes off and retires. :(

  29. ah Pek Says:

    does he have anything else he wants to give away? his pension perhaps?

  30. M Says:

    Nice shiny IPAQ you have there. A new PDA and a busy work schedule… quite a timely gift I’d think. Big Guy’s watching over you and wants to make sure you get well organized and get your jobs done with relative ease eh?

    I’ve been married to a Mac since 1984. I do have my occasional flings with IBM but they never last.

  31. Angeleyes Says:

    wooooaaahhhh!!!

    What a nice boss you have there!
    My current boss can only give me his ‘golden nuggets’ everyday… heheh

    Do enjoy your new ‘toy’ yeah…. and thanks for your kind words for Darrius.

  32. angel & the alphabets carmistwinanplinktitokichen Says:

    Angel Soup reporting!
    *looks around*
    Winnliuliu is still very the missing…
    She said she very the stresssssssssss.

  33. Cocka Doodle Says:

    Do you know that you can make a jigsaw puzzle out of the HP iPAQ? Just throw it against the wall and figure out how to put it back together. There you go..

  34. Kunstemaecker Says:

    I’m still waiting for the first pda/mobile phone/mp3 player/camera with 700 hours standby.

    I would buy that for a dollar.

  35. J Says:

    yeah they do, but its too pricey for me.. my old one died on me… :(

  36. simple american Says:

    I don’t think he will do that Ah-Pek. After all he is a CPA and former financial officer. He takes care of the money first. :)

    I need somebody watching over me M. I’m sure not doing the best job of it. Another Mac man huh?

    What are ‘golden nuggets’ Angeleyes? Need an appraiser. hehe I’m am trying to learn it still. So far I just have the Bubbles game down. keke

    We need a send Winnliu a bigger hug. Angel help us get the Alphabet to the rescue.

    So I have three games Cocka? COOL!!!!

    I had to have a PDA given to me, K-Man. I have never paid for a cell phone. It always is free with a cell plan (Okay not totally free). My iPod was a birthday present. Though I dropped 1K for my camera. And its as big as an iceberg.

    Let Dad buy you one. He luvs you JJ. Right? Give him puppy dog eyes look. If that don’t work hit him with your bag. He’ll be stunned long enough for you to make the purchase then.

  37. mitz Says:

    holy shit dude. we’re all busy at times, no worries!!!! just glad you are alive and well! :)

  38. simple american Says:

    Thanks Mitzee!!! Will keep on keeping on. :)

  39. cara Says:

    HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

  40. simple american Says:

    Oh I don’t know Car@. I feel like I am in such a rut.

    Hey. Don’t call my friend an ass okay. ;)

  44. Chen Says:

    aiyak.. my comment kena makan :(

  45. kimananda Says:

    Married to IBM? I suppose this is the time to confess that I’m a bigamist, married to my Powerbook, and also my old Sony Vaio which I use for work. I must check to see if I’m breaking Danish law. ;-)

    You’ve posted some beautiful pictures of glaciers and people and stuff. I’m impressed! I’ll be off to look at them more now. :-)

  46. ah nel Says:

  47. mistipurple Says:

    *leaves hugs for Alphabet familiu*
    and a special hug for SA!

  48. simple american Says:

    Well you need to change PDAs then Chen. ;)

    Not makan. For some reasons the server is slow to update. At least you were not spammed. :)

    I’m considering bigamy Kimananda. The new Macs look pretty nice. And #5 is employed to Apple, while the missus has IBM. I’m really positioned well for whatever I get next. Just got to save some bucks.

    Hope the Danish police don’t snatch ya.

    Tell him you wanna PDA now Ah Nel. I have MSM and Yahoo IM too. Need to figure out how to get it to work on the PDA.

    Alphabet hugs from misti. :) Huggies for you too!!!

  53. simple american Says:

    I felt neglected ZM. hahahaha!!!!!! I don’t think I’ll be off the busy track until the end of October. It’s just that time of the year. This week I have to count all the money in the college and do a lot of inventory test counts. Fun fun! :(

  54. fantasyflier Says:

  57. Kunstemaecker Says:

  58. Kunstemaecker Says:

    you mean videocamera right? That makes more sense.

  59. simple american Says:

    I’m still trying to figure out all of the bells and whistles FF. Wish I would get a password for my job. Still waiting for that. Maybe I need to go scare somebody.

    Running after misti. Wait!!! You forgot this hug!!!

    How far west Ah Nel? Golden Mountain, Europe or West Malaysia?

    It’s a Canon Rebel EOS SLR K-Man. Worth every penny. I need to get some more lenses for it.

    Yeah i’ve been quite bz with work too..hope you are doing fine there

    oh i’ve never stayed with a company for more than 3 yrs too:P *hi 5*

  70. Shoshana Says:

    I have HP ipaq, I forgot which model. IT has this annoying habbit of purging itself when battery rans out. Very annoying as I almost never upload my contents to my desktop every day.

    I finally just stopped using it when I missed appts coz battery went out and of course all contents emptied out.

    I hope yours in a different, better model. I love it when it’s working though. I love the pocket MS office it contains.

  71. Chen Says:

    I love my palm TX :P
    all my 3 pdas are palm, hehehe..

    Btw, I just tagged u ;)

  72. simple american Says:

    Good luck to ya Ah Nel. May you land in a favorable situation. :)

    hehe Gotcha misti. What shall we do with her Angel?

    The PDA is kind of nice. Be nicer once I figer out this MSN thingie. Well basically picking up wireless la. I been here 2 & 1/2 years now. Got the itch to shorten my drive and make mo money. Here tell that companies are looking for accountants so a hunting I will go.

    I have not used MS Office on it yet Shoshona. Purges! Yikes! So far it has not done that to me. I would be ticked. Entered a lot of stuff in here. I must be more efficient and I expect it to remember so I don’t have to.

    Ouch Chen! Oh no. Not a tag. ;)

  73. simple american Says:

    Welcome to my blog Zingtrial. You got stuck in spam some how. But after checking out your blog I do not think you deserve to be there. Glad you enjoyed my place. Thanks!!! :D
