I'm in the process of moving a computer from one desk to another, when I discover a rock on the person's desk. It is smooth, slightly pinkish-grey, and fits the size of my hand (which makes it a pretty big rock). The owner had left the company months ago, and never bothered to clean out her desk. She even left a pair of sneakers under her desk.

I held the rock. Heavy and solid. Something about it made me feel calm and centered. The rock now sits on my desk next to my speakers.

The sneakers are still under her desk.

Dear God....

I can't.....

move....

A new toy!

I downloaded a new toy at Eeyrg's recommendation. Trillian is a chat program that works with most all existing chat programs. It has skins to customize it, and is more streamlined that AIM. The biggest benefit is no ads!

Credit where credit is due:
Eeyrg for her commentary, and pointing it out
Cris for mentioning this several months ago on a list we're on.

Thanks to both of you! I'll give it a run for the week and see how it goes.

I can't spell (injoke)

It's my day for input from other people...
This was from Brigid, who took it from shadowrose.

(and also edited as I spelled someone's name wrong. If you don't hear from me it's because I was sued and my computer, et al, is gone. *grin*)
