I have a bunch of backup folders from my desktop, that I'm integrating into my laptop (forget backup; the desktop can do without 'em, so I cleared them off there even though they survived the reinstall).

I just compressed the whole bunch of unintegrated files. It's taking a while to apply that to every single one of them. Massive savings of disk space, I tell you, massive savings of disk space.

New builds of every project. Again. Yay! Gonna go set the lab up for testing our newest (and coolest!) bit of code, courtesy of R., my former supervisor. N's out today sick, but when she gets in next week, hopefully the lab will be all ready for her. (Hey, I've never set this stuff up before. It's going to take me a couple tries, I bet. But it'll be neat to see it.)

Okay, so there's this "what color are you" trick seeing how you come out on HTML. It's silly enough to be fun, but I've done it for myself and a couple of my roleplay characters, so it's time for a cut tag.

Silliness: you were warned! )

I'm not actually going to go get it until after work, but it's ready. One free recall servicing. In theory, in rare circumstances, my car could have spontaneously combusted. (Or, as they put it, "In some of the affected vehicles it is possible for the engine cooling fan bearing to seize. Should this occur, excessive heat may be generated which could melt the fan motor electrical connector. Under certain high temperature conditions, components inside the cooling fan motor may ignite potentially resulting in an underhood fire." I like my phrasing better, but that's probably because I'm weird. :)

Service: inspection; addition of circuit breaker; free replacement of fan and motor assembly if inoperative. Additional coverage: warranty extending to a total of 8 years or 100,000 miles, on the engine cooling fan motor.

Got my oil changed at the same time (might as well, the car was going to be there hours longer than they needed it - as witness it's all done and I won't be heading over there for probably another 4 hours or so).

Came home from work at 2:30/3:00 ish after all, because I felt horridly stuffed up and couldn't think - I'd just botched a theoretically-easy task about, oh, three-four times.

Decided I was too spacy, went upstairs to take a nap.

I just got up, and after getting the last of the bread to have with my soup, I was exceptionally careful moving the plate with the bread knife on it, as I suddenly realized my sense of balance was shot to hell.

Stupid sinuses.

(Good soup. EXCELLENT bread.)
