MN Birth Certificate here

Yippee! Michael now has an official MN birth certificate with his new name Michael Paulson Frey. I was beginning to wonder if it would ever come. Guess, where I'll be on Christmas Eve? Over at the local SSA office getting him a SS # and card. Then I can finally open a bank account in his name. After that, I can work on savings bonds. I'll also be prepared come tax season. Anybody know a good tax preparer? Between the adoption, the stock market and daycare deductions, I may throw in the towel on doing my own.

Temp Location & budget passed

Yahoo! We get to have a temp location. No trying to answer phones while jackhammer's hammer away. Been there, done that and don't mind not repeating the experience.

Why?

Why does Proquest ask me to take a survey? I tried to fill it in 4 times. It didn't work. It told me not to respond to the email, but gave me no information on how to contact them that their survey was broken. Why?

Websites/Databases etc.

Why is it that I never notice how a database or website is so handy except when it's not working right? Ipage is finally working better again. It was up and down for awhile and driving me nuts. Titlesource acting up is even more devastating on my work flow. Since I order quite a bit it feels like I live on this websites/databases.

Lately work's email has been a challenge. Something got infected or something and the spam has gotten out of hand. I deleted over 100 messages on Monday. Today I only had around 4o, so that is some improvement. The email and IM have been going up and down like a yoyo while they've been fixing it. Hopefully it too will stabilize soon at least for awhile.

It's a short week and I've actually had time off the desk. Now if I could just get all that snow shovelled, life would be good.
