In the interests of wasting valueless time, here are some bits and pieces:

• Wendi’s getting a lot of mileage out of her journal nowadays. In a weird sort of way, it seems as though she’s been waiting for the right kind of incentive to really start writing out all of the things going on in her life. I’m almost ashamed to admit that she’s doing a better job of journalling her life right now than I am. Hey, more power to her, though.
  
• Say what you will about Compa– er, HP computers, but you have to admit that the SmartStart CDs are just about the coolest thing to have if you need to set up Windows servers without much oversight or effort. Very neat.
  
• I took Lilith out to dinner last night, partly because any time spent with Lil’ is time well spent, and partly because I wanted a real-world test of my financial independence. Yes, I have my own (very small) bank account now. Whee! Dinner was nice, the company was great, and nobody yelled at Lil’ for accidentally picking the same song twice on the jukebox…
  
• The KWJJ/KOTK move-in is progressing more-or-less as planned. Email is working, though not without some issues related to the incestuous relationship between Groupwise and Outlook. The computers we ordered supposedly shipped on Monday so we’re hoping to have everything set up for the incoming Sales and Traffic folk by the end of next week. Wish me luck.
  
• Me? I’m doing okay. Some days are better than others, and I’m learning a lot about myself. I’m scared, yes. But I have to do what I think is right, and a little fear isn’t going to stop me. I also have some of the coolest friends anywhere to back me up. There are worse places to be.
