You know…
If I invented a vending machine that accepted pennies (by which I mean, you could just dump the pennies in, not through a slot) and gave you soda or something, I’d make millions.
Millions of pennies anyway.

Evil Schemes Everywhere!
From the Credit Union I just opened an account with, in response to my query about them supporting OFX:
At this time, we do not have the software to support the New Quicken.
Quicken has told us it would cost $1400 a month to support it. We only
have a few members using Quicken and we are in the process of evaluating
this situation.
We do still support the older versions and Money.
So what to do?
My plan was to consolidate my banking into a credit union. I like the idea of a non-profit banking institution. Very George Bailey-esque (though his was just a non-profitable institution, but hey, he cared).
But I’ve been controlling my finances with Quicken for almost 10 years. But Quicken seems to be bilking banks for cash, even this poor little Credit Union.
Do I:
1) Dump this Credit Union and try to find one that supports Quicken, thereby playing into Quicken’s evil scheme?
2) Downgrade to Quicken 2004, thereby playing into Quicken’s other evil scheme where I have to buy their software twice?
3) Dump Quicken and switch to Microsoft Money, thereby playing into Microsoft’s evil scheme?
4) Stay with the for-profit banks, thereby playing into Potter’s evil scheme?
5) Some other option I can’t think of, that doesn’t involve evil schemes?
Tea and Rabbits
First off and most importantly, Habby Pirthday to
Also, I have this little tea-steeper device that a friend gave me. I like it, and I’m going to try to use tea to ease off of Coke. (Get rid of sugar, then later caffeine).
But I was noticing on the packet of tea that came with it the following instructions:
“Do not put tea in refrigerator or freezer. Keep airtight away from light, heat, air and moisture.”
So I guess I jettison it into space when I’m not using it? Or put it in a bell jar encased in concrete?
It’s just tea, for goodness sakes.
Well… duh.

Ugly
My, there was an ugly wreck on southbound 400 this morning. My northbound was backed up quite a ways from rubberneckers, and I can see why.
You don’t see a car standing on its side everyday. Outside of the Dukes of Hazzard, I mean.
Is this a great company, or what?
I was kind of irked with the company I work for. This past December 20 was my five year anniversary, which is longer than I’ve worked for any one company.
With other people who reach that milestone (and the 10, 20 and 30 year milestones), they get a gift of some sort, usually at the quarterly company-wide meetings, which we don’t do anymore. So December 20 came and went, and no email acknowledgement or nothin’.
But today, at our department meeting, I got a framed certificate and a very nice, heavy, crystal vase.
That, and an extra week of vacation. Which is the greatest gift of all.
Birthdays and Improvisation
A big old happy birthday to
And I just got asked to teach an improv class this spring at Georgia Shakespeare! Ain’t that somethin’… I’d best get to brushing up on my Johnstone.
Dink.
I just tried to pay for my lunch with my driver’s license.
In case you were wondering, it didn’t work.
