This was my life

I used to go here many moons ago. The small dome is where I learned Calculus.

Fixing Jeff's computer

and the installation is going slow.

There's a lot of grime on my car

It's got a built in radio

Today is really bleak

Gray skies and rain. That's on the menu for today. What's even worse is that there will snow and worsening conditions as a winter storm passes through here. I assembled my new daylight lamp as the old one broke again. The new one is more solid and has a wooden and metallic base that I don't have to worry about. This thing cheers me up when the long cold winter starts. So far it's been very mild but now things are starting to get back to normal with the cold.

On another note, I talked with Vitaliy and told him about Angela. He said that he's surprised that she has a girlfriend but said that he'll ask his wife to give her a call. I then called her and left her a message but I think I blew with this chica.

Never been there

but it looks delicous

Is this Quincy?

Or is it Weymouth

Homeless woman at the mall

I have nothing against the homeless, but they can be unpredictable sometimes. The woman actually left after I took this picture so I'm wondering if she really was homeless after all.

Here come the cops

And I'm glad they're not after me.

A Demolitions Expert lives here

And he's into wrestling as well. He was an OK guy though.

A disaster but saved from excess

The witch from the printer nightmare kept complaining and then didn't want me on the site. I was devastated but severely because she's a...rhymes with witch. I thought I could take the printer back here to fix but she refused. Now they are going to have to ship it back and see if they can get it working. What an ego devasting day!!! The only thing that saved me was that I did a VERY good job for my own personal client. He was very pleased and impressed and said so himself. The trick to life is to concentrate on the good news and ignore the bad. I'm just the opposite but I'm slowly coming around!

Printer Nightmare

Today I went to a place and had to install 2 printer maintence kits. The first one went OK and the printer worked fine. The second one was a nightmare and I ended up loosing a critical part (a spring) and then breaking a few plastic pieces. Luckily for me they weren't that important! The really bad news, if that wasn't the topper, goes like this: I thought I could find the same spring at Lowe's and then return in the morning to fix the rest of it. Lowe's doesn't have the part that I need so now I'm stuck! I have to either find that part or else I owe these people another printer tray. The moral of the story, if something is really beyond your abilities or talents, then just admit it and then move on. Don't get yourself mired in the quicksand of confusing printer parts!

Which door opens?

Does it go anywhere?

but they could'nt put Humpty Dumpty off. I think it was started by tiles.

A fire alarm went off

Why do they all show up?

Back again to my Holliday ritual

And I've given a lot this day.

Time to immigrate?

What a day! Christmas is being celebrated throughout most of America but I’m still in a mode to either work or emigrate to get away from this nutty place. The more I think about it, the more I want to live in Vancouver, BC. Canada has a lot more taxes, but it has the metric system and perhaps a fairer standard of living. I’m impressed by what I hear about the Canadians. Their politics is not as harsh as this place, with a commonwealth of countries system that might be a little less unruly

Line at the off-ramp

The malls are REAL crowded today.

A family feast

with songs

Happy Hanaukah

I thought it was over

Low on gas

And driving in the sticks.

PGA Tour Upgrade

Tigar Woods played here. It's a lot of money for the membership. I'm talking in the ten's of thousands of $! I have to go back here again on Wednesday.

I get no respect

Today was an interesting day. I learned that AOL really sucks, even for their broadband service. One of my clients made 3 calls to AOL with no luck! They kept giving him the runaround until he was frustrated enough to scream. Just by co-incidence, I plugged a network cable into the wrong port on the router, and that combined with a ppoe setting(you'll have to look that up) got me online. I guessed later that adding an aol dialer, without adding the actual program, would get me online from a laptop wirelessly; and it worked!

On the way back, I tried calling Collen, the lady that I had a long conversation with on Wednesday. She picked up the phone and immediately slammed it down when she heard my voice! No respect my friends, no respect. Then to tap it all off, I got a call from Onforce claiming that the phone problem that I went to fix, couldn't be fixed by another tech. They have to call the phone company to fix it and they want me to take the heat. I had to explain how this problem existed before I got there and may need a deeper fix than either of us were capable of doing. It burned my blood a bit to know that so many people need a scapegoat instead of fixing the damm problem.

Just an afternote...I need to focus on the positive instead of the negative. I had a good day overall and made a client very happy. That's the main point of this day!

Always have a tone generator

This was another day of bad frustrations. I went to a long-term hotel to try and trace a line that went bad. Well, the line is a phone line and my testing kit is for a network cable. So, I went into the phone area and tried to visually trace it on the punch panel. I think I found it but no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to work. Since, I didn't have the right equipment, I just had to head home. What a rough day!

Lunchtime at Panera

Their soup is really good

Why don't these people order online?

A hectic day

I went to 3 sites today but didn't take a picture of any of them. Sorry. I almost forgot my phone at one of the sites, but remembered it when my bluetooth headset beeped when it went out of range.

The view was worth the drug prices

A busy day at Borders

The amount of people here is standing room only

A day full of wonder

I had to go back to the doc's place because the "new" video card gave out. I'm hoping that it wasn't the motherboard because I gave him a 2 year old card that I had and that worked. Then I had major problems with his profile and everything else on their. So, it's wipe and reload! Now he's got a new computer but there's still a bit of work to do. I might remote in over the weekend and get it done. Meanwhile, my other big client can't find a stupid accounting file on her system. I was supposed to go there today but couldn't make it because of my previous committment. It sucks when your squeezed for time.

A nice house

with a nice picket fence and a nice couple. They've been living there for40 years and have 10 children!

Stuck in traffic

On my way to the next client

Fixing my "Piechiatrist" friend's comp

This computer had the most unusual behavior. The task bar would'nt show up! I tried everything to get it past a no go but nothing doing. I'm going back on Monday. Good luck to meI

A whole day here

and the servers got corrupted software

A long day of frustrations

I had a really long day today. At first I had a premonition that it would be bad when my battery in my remote lock gave out. I opened the car with the key but the alarm went off for about 5mins, blaring away at the neighborhood.
Then I couldn't find my client for about an hour downtown. I lost his number and I forgot the building! When I finally found him, and then started work, I got an emergency call from another client. I had to go over there to fix her problems. Then on the way back, my GPS gave me the wrong damn directions, again! I remembered where he lived and fixed his personal computer.
Then it was back to the office again to transer over the old files to the new. My KVM switch didn't work, which made my day because I had to manually unhook and rehook all the computer cables. Then finally, my evening client was angry that I couldn't make it today. I have to go there at 8am tomorrow, and I hate waking up early! Yikes!

Worcester Women are Bitches

I find it a bit difficult to say this, but in general, Women from Worcester are bitches. I interacted with a hair salon owner the other day who was complaining all the time about the amount of money that she was paying me to get sonic wall installed. Then she totally blew me off the other morning after I tried to help her and thought I was coming on to her. What a stupid wench! A lot of women are too stupid to keep a clear head, this bitch was no exception!

Inside of the mall

I came in here to eat lunch. I'd forgotten how big it was on the inside. Even with all this, I still cound'nt find what I was looking for.

The State Capitol Building

The building and the mall are right next to each other.

Providence Mall

Huge mall in the center of the city.

Nice restaurants

Providence has some nice places to eat.
