DR Jennifer I haven't even thought about new shows.  When do they begin? 

Thank you very much for the reminder.

Second night vibes (since I missed opening night...) to DR JRand and the DDTW company!

Did anybody happen to catch the CBS fall preview special on last night?  It is such a good idea. I really get little from promos. ANd it's even hard to get a clear grasp when reading about the shows.  But this preview special really described (and showed) what the shows were like.

There are 2 shows that they showed that i was already planning to try. One is Person of Interest with Ben from Lost. Not sure if this will be for me. But i will try it.  The other is A Gifted Man with Patrick Wilson. Sort of seems like part Eli Stone, part Ghost Whisperer. I like him and think i will like this show.

I saw another show previewed that I had heard very little about. It's called Unforgettable.  Some time in the last year on The View there was a segment with Marilu Henner that described a gift that she (and like 6 people in the US?) have where they can remember every detail about every day in their life.

I remember being so fascinated by this at the time (and i was surprised i'd never heard this about Marilu Henner before). Anyways this show Unforgettable is about a a woman (Piper something who was from Without a Trace) who has this condition. And i guess she solves cases.

Thanks for mentioning ths...if I'd've known about it, I would've watched it.  I wonder if it's on CBS's website.  I'll check when I get home. :)

DR elmore - Glad to hear that you are feeling better.

You had mentioned returning to Dublin, and I also remember you mentioning that you might be returning there for some more work with the same company again. Any further info on that possibility?

If you do return for work won't they pay for your traveling expenses again?

Back from a work session, shipping CDs and finally picking up the replacement debit card - thank you USPS for taking nine days to deliver an envelope from Nebraska.

There is this article in my local paper today that says that 50% of Canadians are illiterate.

They use a scale with 5 levels of literacy. One is very poor literacy skills. Level 2 has a capacity to deal with only simple clear material. Those first two levels are what is considered illiterate.

Level 3 is adequate to cope with demands of everyday life or the level if you completed high school.

I sort of find this shocking since i would say my 5 year old niece is a strong level 2.

We do know at least 50% of Canadians won't read about the study

DR Cillaliz, did you happen to catch BB when you got home last night?

They had this mixer contraption that spun for the HOH comp.IT made me sick just watching it. I can't even imagine being on it. Yuck!

No, I didn't....actually I didn't get home until 11:00 PM.   Who got HOH?

I've loved INCHWORM since I saw the movie.

The Inchworm had his own movie?

SO, tonight is movie night.  I'm thinking sitting outside watching who knows what...usually something stupid or strange and having a few adult beverages with my friends would be the best way to shake off this week.   Nothing terrible just many many minor frustrations that just made me want to strangle someone.  I also got nothing done at the office which is not a good thing because I was behind.  SO, I may have to work part of the weekend to avoid another frustrating week

I did learn yesterday that my neighbors' 7 year old grandson died in July after a severe asthma attack.  So sad.  He was a cutie.  I can't believe I didn't know about it until now.  I would have done something for them.

And speaking of the post office...

I had to stop by the one by my brother's house to buy some stamps. When I got there, there were signs saying their credit/debit card system was down and that they could only take cash at that time. Well...

I guess in order to make it easier for everyone in line to deal with that technological snafu, they had all of their windows open AND the supervisor was checking with everyone in line to see what they needed. It was truly one of the most efficient trips to the post office I've ever had! Go figure!

OK, the day ended on a good note.  My client who has been trying to get his 5 kids here from Somalia (well they are in Kenya) just got a date for their interviews to get their visas.   He came in and was very happy and gave me a hug.   That feels much better

Last time I went to the post office was a very busy time of day and they only had one window open.  They said due to cutbacks, that's how it will be staffed now.  I like your post office better than mine, lol   And yes, that was this week

Back from a work session, shipping CDs and finally picking up the replacement debit card - thank you USPS for taking nine days to deliver an envelope from Nebraska.

Just to play USPS's Advocate for a second:
-Is there a postmark on the envelope?
-Did PayPal say they sent out your new card on a particular date? Or that they just processed your request for a new card on a certain date?

Otherwise...

Glad to hear you got your new card to go in your new wallet.

My mail has been taking forever lately and I can see Nebraska out my office window.  I've heard lots of complaints about it. So, maybe it's on this end

The bad news is the new copier and printer don't work with the whole network (read to my old AND new computers) despite 3 visits from service/sales technicians in as many days.
