I have been carrying around a bag of stuff related to the update of the office website for months, in the hope that I would actually get down to business one morning while working at home.

Real work always seems to get in the way.

But recently decided that I was tired of hauling all the junk around, and plus The Boss thinks "sprucing up" the website could increase business up to 20%. So I decided to take that as inspiration.

Unfortunately, when I sat down to work on the site again, discovered that FrontPage is refusing to work on the computer now. It claims that I need to install 32 bit TCP/IP networking. OOOOKKKKKK. If that is the case, why did FrontPage work on this computer a couple of months ago, the last time I was working on the webpage? Acutally, the answer probably has something to do with The Husband's security modifications to the computer.

So yesterday, I resolved to ignore my real work and just spend quality time on the needed updates and modifications.

Spent the day fluffing the website's pillows, washing the laundry and essentially girlifying it! (Boss' comment after my previous v. small-scale modifications, "It's much more feminine!") *snortle* Also, made huge additions to the Resources page, as my filing gnomes have gotten massive amounts of scanning done in the last month and it seemed a shame not to have the new content up.

More sprucing yet to do. Probably another day's worth. Ready now to work on the meta tags and get some software in to vet the pages adn resume updating the search engines - probably WebPosition Gold. Also, requested the traffic report on our site from our ISP. Hoping to have it in my in-box when I get to the office today. They said "24 hours."

Meanwhile, am frightened of what I will find on my desk today that I just flagrantly ignored yesterday. I *did* pay the taxes yesterday, so at least there should be no criminal repercussions of ignoring my in-box. The Boss should give me back the client bills today, so will bring them home this weekend and watch the cast commentary on TTT or something while stuffing envelopes.

Well, off to start the day. (Sorry, kitty!)

It's very, very cold today.

Cold enough to make your sinuses burn when you breath.

Not quite cold enough to freeze your nose hairs!

Long-range looking pretty evil: "Snow, sleet or freezing rain in the evening. The wintry mix will change to freezing rain late. Low 27F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precip 70%.
Sunday (24 hours): A mixture of light rain and ice early. Highs in the upper 30s and lows in the low 20s.
Monday (24 hours): Times of sun and clouds. Highs in the low 30s and lows in the mid teens."

Oh, well. It's winter. What can ya do?

C,
[The Small Boy] is fine. He just has been very slow with his work because he is too interested in chatting and entertaining his tablemates and informing them all about Lord of the Rings (his newest obsession. :) He has been more on task this week than last and is attending to his work better. He just needs reminding to stay on task. No worries really or I would have called. Thanks!

J,

Grey reported on himself today that he has been very slow with his morning work recently.

He said that he had been so late that you told him you might have to call me if he didn't improve.

What's up? Is there anything you need me to do? He and I have been talking about it. He says he did OK finishing on time today.

Let me know if there is a problem or anything I can do to help.

With kind regards,
CK
