For me, it was a busy day at work. Things were steady in the
tech support department at
InfoRad during the morning, but after I finished my
tuna salad, the calls came pouring in. Many of the calls were from people using one of our single-user products on newer computers (damn those
Conexant/
Rockwell modems). I was able to make everyone happy by getting their software working, or referring their problem to the customer's
pager service.
During my lunch break, I called one of my former
high school classmates and told her a little bit about my recent trip to
Florida. She wanted to know more, so there's a
tenative appointment set for
February for us to meet and share more info.
I was planning on talking with my
girlfriend during the evening on my cell phone, but I didn't know where it was. I knew I had it with me, but when I went looking for it, it was not in the places I thought it would be. I left her a message on
ICQ stating that if she were to call, she would get my
voice mail. Later in the evening, we would end up chatting on ICQ, mostly about when we can actually meet
face-to-face.
My dad came home with a couple disks with programs that he wanted me to make copies of. He also wanted to know how to get program output to print from a Win98 computer running a DOS program. The programs appeared to be written in
QBASIC and I did not see anything allowing the program to print directly to the printer. Only thing I could think of is redirect the program output to a
text file, and print that. My mom also was having fits about her
laptop computer not booting up. Turns out it was a memory issue that was corrected when I removed the
RAM chip from the computer and reinserted it.
Another long day, and I wish I had something more to show for it.
