A lot of people were out of the office, because they were taking vacation on Friday and/or Monday because of Columbus Day. We don’t actually get Columbus Day off, but people who work for the state government do.

Of course, the master database had a dang fit at about 1:15pm on Friday. Getting that fixed wasn’t really all that difficult. It took longer to call or IM everyone who’d been affected and tell them, “Yes, all the stuff is working now, could you please try it again?”

Saturday, Stephanie and I met Nacho and Luly at Claim Jumper for lunch. This was kind of neat. I got to hear all about the latest work hassles for Nacho, as well as talk about guns, trucks, and computers. I also took my home computer mouse apart (easier than I thought) and found that it was full of cat hair. sigh. Work called me while I was eating dinner, but this turned out to be a problem that we weren’t really responsible for. Yay for small favors!

The most redonkulous pet Halloween costume of all time; an Italian Greyhound dressed as an AT-AT. I think that if I tried that on Moira, I’d get this: lasers 100% charged. Fire? [Y/y]
