hot air powers the point
Ashley called late last night to say she’d made it to the Dominican Republic safely. She’ll be working in an orphanage for the next 10 months. I already miss her terribly…
The latest nightly (v378) of the K2 theme for WordPress (which blogan.net currently uses) changes the CSS selectors for a triple column layout from sidebar-dual to columns-three.
Blogan.net now uses the following CSS in its custom CSS file to display both sidebars display on the right:

Dave at Stuck in Stuff is “positively cautious about stuff.” He’s so serious about this that he has issued a personal “100 things challenge” in which he is whittling his personal things down to 100. Oh my!
That goes against my packrat nature. How about you?
Having cast off for sabbatical eight weeks ago, today was time to plug back into the docking station.
Alpha mail. Thankfully, only 500 e-mails were waiting in my inbox and most could be discarded without reading more than the subject line. After accepting a few meeting requests and placing a few phone calls to ensure the other e-mails had been handled in my absence, I was able to get my inbox down to less than ten e-mails by end of day. That’s the result of having great coverage. Thanks, guys!
Breaking rules. Waiting on my desk was a bookstore gift certificate in recognition of some work I did immediately before sabbatical. During lunch, I bought First, Break all the Rules. After all, work bought me the book; I thought I’d return the favor by getting something that just might improve my on-the-job performance. Coincidentally, this morning I completed an organizational health survey. Upon starting the book, I recognized the twelve core questions. Maybe I’m not the first to have read this book.
Wireless mouse. Going through my drawers, I discovered mouse droppings. Wait—that didn’t come out right. My top desk drawer contained shredded paper napkins and mouse poop. That’s not good; I didn’t even have food there. Not that I suspect my coworkers, but I locked my drawers before sabbatical. Fortunately, the drawer held nothing of value and now the trash can does. Welcome back! I’m tempted to try a trap.
Beat by the Street. I looked up my employer’s stock. Great—there’s a definite improvement that coincided with my departure. Don’t tell upper management…
Staying on sabbatical. As part of my sabbatical, I took a political fast. Normally a political junky, I abstained from talk radio, political blogs, and political commentary. Amazingly enough, the world continued to spin without me. I’m considering continuing the fast or at least maintaining a slim political diet. My heart will thank me, I’m sure. I’ll have more time to do the other things I enjoy. Speaking of which…
Going nowhere not so fast. After a full, fun day at work I exercised today. Just the treadmill tonight, but my board short tan’s going to look pretty funny when I swim laps again.
Yup, I’m back. Good to see you all again.
