I guess what was, won't be again

I got a lot to say and not a lot of time. I'll just list what's going on and expand on them until I have to get off I guess.

CFCU technology: being able to IM a live rep online with bank questions is much better than waiting on the phone and listening to hold music. It's a pretty neat upgrade

Printer jammed incident: it's like automated employees who stand there and stare blankly at the printer not knowing what to do. It was funny to see that when an average Ricardo employee's regular rhythm is disrupted, he/she almost panics.

Hans problem: leaving him too bored makes him get himself in trouble and I've had to address some serious issues with him. It makes me feel guilty to think it might be my fault he's bored out of his mind. After all, Tim is a couch potato and my mom has meetings with SGM (Shanghai GM) all week.

Romeo digs: it's so cute how he takes his toys to a corner and pretends to dig a hole in the carpet, drop the toy in the "hole", and use his nose to push the "dirt" back over the hole.

Kristin: just started to get to know her and she quit to move to Arizona, leaving next Tuesday. She started telling me about how it's starting to hit her that she's leaving, and I think she started tearing up.

Lemonade stands: kids in our sub always have them, and today, a little boy was outside by himself holding up a sign so I stopped by. I asked the boy, who looked about 6, if he was by himself, and the poor kid said his friends all had to go home. Overtime worker. That's the sign of a future entrepreneur, don't ya think?

Ignorance: is it bliss? I think my mom likes to excuse herself from dealing with things just so she won't have to have one more problem on her plate. I guess I don't blame her, but there are just some things you can't let slip through your fingers, selectively.

It's nice: Helen emails me the longest, sweetest emails with lots of smiley faces and cheesy jokes. I wish I could communicate with my grandma the way her and I write to each other.

Blu-ray: Dusan says that since they have created tinier (is that a word?) lasers, they can fit up to 50 gig on one disc now. So the way VHS and floppy discs became extinct, I guess DVDs will become extinct within the next year. I'm so glad to have a tekkie boyfriend who can warn me not to waste money on DVD's/DVD players.


A word I like: hiatus. Which means a gap or a pause. For example, "I wish I had a hiatus in my summer so I could have some time to myself." You know how it goes.
