Scored a UW NetID by signing on as an auditor. Tried the UW Libraries remote authentication and drew a blank. Evidently, you get what you pay for, and the no-fee over-sixty student status is worth the price of admission. It doesn’t have the necessary rights and privileges to give me remote access to the libs. Discrimination? For sure. Probably as much economic as age based, of course.
We’re having an epidemic…

Subject: FW: ME TOO!! Out, working from homeLike Shameless, I really messed up this morning about 3:15am. The phone rang…wrong number! Couldn’t you just scream!! Anyway, couldn’t get back to sleep so decided to change the oil in my car and rotate the tires. Well, wouldn’t you know it, the car gave way and landed on my foot!!! Crushed the living bajeebuz out of it. I coulda’ screamed. Well, actually I did, now that I think of it. Anyway, I’ll be working from the emergency room this morning. Laptop is strapped to my back so I can respond to email and customer needs in a timely manner. Have a great DOT day!!

Subject: Out, working from homeI’m sorry but I screwed up my back last night, I loaded my niece’s moped in my van from her dorm last night and I’m paying for it now. Laying on ice in bed and have a chiro appt later today. Laptop in bed with me so I can respond to email.
My apologies to anyone whose excuse is real. I can be a heartless bastard. On the other hand, I plan to provide you all with fresh quill pens, sleeve garters, and green eyeshades in celebration of the holiday season. And you can have Boxing Day Eve off. Maybe I’m not such a mean spirited guy after all.
