Merten Mumblings --- or 2/3rd's of it

Anna should mumble for herself since she has her new fancy dancy laptop.

I will speak for John because he never blogs. I believe he reads it though. I figure if I start talking for him he may jump in because he hates for me to talk on his behalf. Not much has changed with him though. He started to go back to school but he has to petition to get back in and by the time he got the paper he missed the deadline, so there it sits again. He says he has things under control. I told him I won't give him a hard time until he is 23 and still in my basement.

He is going to a convention next week in Cincy I think.

Not much happening with me. I think work is easing up even though i'm still working 60 hours. it doesn't seem quite as stressful. but then, I've given up trying to workout or run. so i'm getting even fatter. I have been getting a massage once a month which has been helpful. The massage therapist is a little worried that after 4 sessions I am still as tense.

I've actually got the one web designer (different than a web programmer)in the company for 2 days a week now. and i get one person from corporate communications at least one day and maybe two. My developers are really good, and the site works functionally, but they don't really care a whole lot what color of red we use and how many pixels of white space we need around a box. I can do some of it, but I just don't have the time. they moved all of my testers over to training for the backend system. so the project manager over the whole thing has volunteered to help me test. while i keep my developers on schedule, answer all the business questions (since they took my business resource), and test it all, and give them the communication plan and the test plan.

Oh, by the way mom, I accidentally signed you up for BillMail, which I hate because they are taking all of my eBill customers. But I think I got you back on paper bill okay. You are in cycle 20 and I don't think we read or bill cycle 20 until next Thursday or Friday (29th or 30th). I'll watch it. I had to call the vendor to get it back and they weren't going to do it because my name isn't on your account, but I gave it back to them that they shouldn't have allowed me to switch it in the first place.

about time for lunch.
