more checking-in
Jan. 12th, 2004 12:16 pminterview: went well. pending the checking of my references (most of whom i've heard back from saying "glad to"), the thing seems to be in the bag. but! this is me, not counting chickens. there are as yet no chickens! :-)
unpacking: continues. still haven't found the TV remote.
the other night the DVD player went berserk and was on the verge of making me very, very upset. but i let it rest for a few minutes and then presented a burnt offering (this at the suggestion of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
darthrami, who was trying to watch The Princess Bride with the Rob Reiner commentary track), and then it worked okay. must pet it and be nice, and assure it that just because the computer packed it in doesn't mean all the electronics get to start malingering.
this weekend: spent officiating at the District 3 GNCC Men's Playdowns. no, really. and! finished my practicals, so i'm now qualified as a level 2 official (and will be certified as soon as i send in the paperwork).
hard drive: still dead. had a call yesterday from the LJ-less terri saying fedex had screwed up and the new drive hadn't arrived expeditiously as they'd promised. so, still on the laptop; will have to call her this afternoon to see what's what.
am checking e-mail every couple of days, but not going through what by now is almost certainly a massive backlog on the flist. so if you said anything you really need me to hear, either give me a heads-up in an e-mail or comment here, because if you said it between new year's eve and the day i eventually get my CPU back, odds are i'm not going to know unless you tell me.
