I'll be running around Jefferson Parish tomorrow for work (mostly in Metairie with a trip to the Wank for some courthouse work). If anyone wants to have lunch out, either leave a message here or call my cell.

Check out the University of Miami's favorite recruit! Its very nice having a coach that tries to recruit character equally with or superior to athletic ability.

Oh joy. Kathleen Blanco isin Iraq. I'm glad she has time to spend over there visiting. Maybe she'll have enough free time to think about who she's going to get to fill those holes in her staff she still has. Or better yet, find some Iraqi company to move to Monroe to replace State Farm's 1200 jobs and $50 million payroll that's leaving the state.

WOO HOO National Signing Day! Check out the #1 Recruiting Class in the Nation right here!
I worked a 12 hour day yesterday. I'm still doing the LSU apartment survey stuff and had to rebuild the database queries I use to get all the averages and statistics. Hopefully, with the way I set them up last night, I will NEVER have to rebuild this system again!
The ceiling fan in my bedroom is currently on my floor and my bed. Last night I came home and noticed it very loose at the ceiling. When I went to bed, it looked worse so I went up to look at it and saw that a screw had fallen out. In the process of trying to find it, the whole fan came loose (I think a sneeze or snore at night would have done it too) and it was there dangling with the covers for the connection wires on my bed. I had a choice. Electrocution to disconnect the fan without it falling or just let it fall down, possibly ripping wires out of the ceiling and have glass all over the place. I chose electrocution. I called the complex's emergency line (I consider exposed wiring above my bed an emergency) and they never showed up. This morning they claimed I never answered my phone, but I stayed up almost an hour after this happened waiting for them to call or come over AND there was no missed calls on my cell phone (which is the number I left thanks to Bell South's sucking). At least I learned that my sofa is comfortable enough to sleep on and the apartment didn't burn down.
In other news, one of the secretaries brought a cream cheese and praline filled King Cake and I CAN'T HAVE ANY. I've been fine at avoiding fried foods, breads, fruits and pastas (all no nos for South Beach Phase I), but for a New Orleanian to deny himself King Cake during Carnival is just WRONG!
As to why I have a post at 9:50 AM on a work day, I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for someone to fax me info I should have had two days ago. Until its here, I have nothing to do.

Bell South managed to accidentally disconnect my home phone for the 4th time since moving inot my new apartment. Seems everytime they activate a new resident's line, they disconnect mine. No more. Only way to call me now is on my cell phone.
