Chugging through the day...

alexpgpThe kids and I were supposed to do something today, but Mathew was feeling not-so-good upon the family's return from Navajo Lake, so we decided to raincheck any activity, at least for a few days. It'd probably be good to do breakfast with Drew some morning.
The art translation is about 99% complete, but I cannot force myself to sit down and finish it today. Maybe tomorrow. The plate is otherwise clear.
If there's one thing worse than forgetting a password, it's having written one down incorrectly, as I apparently did a few months ago. Password entry fields ought to come with an option to allow you to see what's been typed, especially in cases where there is no hope, chance, or whiff of a hope or chance to reset a password unless you want to lose your data (as in the case of a Windows Home Server installation).
One day this week I shall have to go to Durango and deal in person with the DMV on behalf of Galina. That ought to be interesting, since the DMV quite vocally states it will have no truck with anyone but persons they take action against. I shall bring along the power-of-attorney that Galina and I paid good money for and see if it makes any difference (if it doesn't, it'll basically mean that POAs are only good if the party you're dealing with is inclined to accept them, which sort of limits their usefulness). However, even if they don't, I shall try to argue that even if they won't talk to me about Galina's case, they should at least listen silently to what I have to say to them about it.
That will probably kill most of a work day, leaving just over 3 work days in the week. The better part of one day will probably be devoted to cleaning this place (gotta do it at least once every two weeks, you know, whether the joint needs it or not). Invoicing, backups, and recordkeeping will probably whittle the remainder to 2 work days, and though I'm not terribly concerned about this month's billings, it's going to take one sackful of playing catch-up to recover from Q1, so I'm not exactly inclined to let work slip through my fingers.
So, I'm going to have to get mediaeval about watching my time. Things are going to start hopping pretty soon.
Cheers...
