Just trying to get ya up to speed …
Never a dull moment at work. The case management application that I’ve been working on since August goes live next week. We completed the build of the live system this week, and I must say, I’m quite proud at how much we got done in such a short time. This on top of all other requests from lab, respiratory, registration, and administration. And in October, case management gets another system that I’ll be assigned to as well. Surprisingly, I’m taking it all in stride and loving it. Not too many people in my department can say the same thing, and I guess I’m fortunate.
Sophia will be 16 weeks old on Monday (4 months old in October). We believe she has allergies. The recent cool weather has prompted us to have our windows open in the house at night (excluding Sophia’s room). However, she woke up again the other morning with congestion. So we’ve gone back to keeping the windows closed and using the A/C. She seems to be slimming down (her belly isn’t quite there anymore). While awake, she doesn’t like to lay back in your arms anymore; she’ll pull herself in the upright position (and she’ll let you know about it if you try to put her back down). She’s doing well in daycare; teachers say the noise doesn’t bother her as much as it used to when she first started. She’s sleeping all night too, and waking up about the same time each morning (just in time to get ready for school). We haven’t taken very many pictures since Sophia started daycare, but I plan to post what we have this weekend.
And yes, I’m trying a new theme for my blog. It still needs work, but I’ll get to it when I get to it. What I like is the pics page is working and looking better than ever. I still have to come up with new header images.
Death Magnetic
Metallica’s ninth studio album Death Magnetic was released last Friday. Picked up my copy from Target on Saturday, and I can’t stop listening to it (that is, until I load up Baby Einstein for Sophia). It’s fast and furious. It’s reminiscent of their sound from the 80’s before they went mainstream in 1991 with their self-titled disc (aka The Black Album). More »
Palin and Clinton on SNL
This is the closest I’ll get to blogging about politics. Tina Fey returned to Saturday Night Live last night to join Amy Poehler for a hilarious opening skit on SNL’s season premiere. Fey is perfect as Sarah Palin, and Poehler has always done a great Hillary Clinton (and she didn’t disappoint last night). If you missed it, click below to check it out.

Google Chrome
I never thought I’d use another browser besides Firefox. I’ve tried Opera, Safari, and IE, but I always went back to Firefox. Until now.
Google Chrome is lightweight and unbelievably fast. Check it out for yourself.
update 090208
So many things going on, it’s difficult to keep up. I spent most of my vacation time caring for Sophia. I enjoyed it tremendously, and I wish I could have another week at home with her. Well, like her mom, I’d rather be at home with her all the time. She started daycare today, her 3 month birthday. The teachers said she was very good considering she was with strangers. With the daycare center right across from my workplace, I can come and go as I please.
I only made it over there once today; a lot going on in the world of IT. Tomorrow, I begin a second round of training with a new case management application that goes live in 3 weeks. Once that’s up and running, I begin another 6 to 8 week implementation with another case management app. On top of that, I’m dealing with charges, lab cleanup, and other clinical system issues. Despite the busy-ness of it all, I’m comfortable and content.
It’s easy to forget things when you’re busy. So I want to take a moment to remember my uncle Teddy, who passed away 2 years ago on September 1. You are still missed, Tito Teddy. Much love to Tita Volet, Bong, and Jeff.
I also want to wish my niece Sarah a Happy Birthday 
She turned 19 today!
