~laughter~ Yea. There are a (VERY) few places that have really good music playing while you are on hold.

Dear Boss,
I don't want your crappy job. I would like to do my job, but since it's evident you can't DO your crappy job, which is negatively impacting my ability to do my job, let me take over for you instead...as long as I get paid your current salary.
Yes. This.
** spoiler omitted **
It seems like competence and intelligence are less common every day.

Thanks! I'm on hold now. I changed my password, and now it won't let me get pass the beta mail agreement.
Why does hold music have to be so irritating?
Dohp! Now it's stuck there!

Long grocery trip, still have to finish putting groceries away. Car doors malfunctioned when I picked up kid from school. Thankfully I figured out how to fix them. I am having that day. The one so full of minor annoyances that you wonder why you ever got out of bed.
Almost done and then you can hit the "reboot" button.

BT: Let me know how the yahoo mail problem finally was resolved. Hopefully well.
Last night I went a head and switched to the beta in hopes of finding security upgrades.
Today I changed my pass word, but now after I log in I can't get past the "accept or deny" window for beta terms of use. I was on the phone with Yahoo tech support for over half an hour, but she was completely baffled, so I had to fill out one of their stupid on line forms and send it in. I'm still waiting to hear back.
Ironically I'm having the most trouble with my work account instead of my recreational account.
Grrr arhg!

Picked Charlie up from Daycare today and he wasn't his usual happy self. Also seemed warm, so we took his temp when we got home - 100.4! So, called the doc and made an appointment. By the time we got there and saw the doc, his temp had gone down again.
Weird. But they said he's doing a good job of fighting his cold.

My littleist one had a 104 deg f fever today. It's down now thank God.
Came home from work early; we were contemplating the possibility of taking her to the hospital, but we got the fever down.
Stomach bug.......fun fun fun!
Two kids puking all night last night.
The middle girl had strep; she's better now.
I need a Rumplestiltskin nap.

Work.
We rolled out our data migration to a new system a bit earlier than we were ready for. We were pretty much forced by the powers that be. Why? Because of some regulations that they feel this will fix. Does it? Not sure. So I ask for the documentation from the regulation to send to the company to check this. The documentation says NOTHING of what they are interpreting the regulation to mean. So it looks like we rolled this out pretty much for nothing.
But at the end of the day today, I got chewed out by an employee because things aren't working quite right. We know this and we are working on solutions. However, it helps me if I know what the problem is. What do I get? "It's broke!" Well, what's broke? "I can't do my job!" (Thinking to myself -- Really? Your entire job is at a standstill because you can't press one button?) What part of your job can't you do? "I can't move to the next step!" Why not? And so on. Never really getting anything specific to actually fix so that she can do her important job of pressing one button.
It's like this -- In the movie Bug's Life -- there's this scene where the ants are all in a line and a leaf falls on the line right in front of an ant. I'm Lost! Some of these people can't even conceive of step two if they can't do step one.
I think I'm a little better now. Not really looking forward to tomorrow though.
