I don’t know what it is today, but I have absolutely no energy and am interested in doing nothing but watching TV. If you know me, you know how weird that is. But I figured I’d best haul myself off the couch and get the first post of the day done since I’m running really late.

I reached the end of the internet earlier, but then I remembered I wanted to look some things up. A good friend of mine is becoming Catholic soon, and the other day asked me my opinion of three different confirmation names. So since I had the time, I looked them up. And now I truly cannot decide, as all of them would work very well. But for someone not anything at all like Catholic, it was a definite learning experience.

I shan’t name any names to protect the ignorant, but I frequent this particular site which has message boards. This week, they “updated”. Mind you, they “updated” two years ago and there are still things that were broken then that have yet to be fixed by their IT team. The site is run by a corporation most of you have heard of…they have several websites as well as cable TV channels. Their IT department is probably the most incompetent I’ve yet run across, which is saying something. Anyway, they “updated”. Now, the only way to view the site is to log in. Every time you navigate away from the site you are automatically logged out. A login lasts approximately six clicks, and then you have to log in again. The only way to “fix” the problem is to log out, delete all cookies, clear the cache, then go back to log in, but instead of doing so, click on the “forgot your password” link so it is reset via email. Then you can stay logged in for sometimes as many as a dozen clicks without having to go through the whole process again. Ah…improvements. If only they were….

Thus ends the process that started with the horrifying attempt to use TurboTax. I ended up going with H&R Block at home online. Easy to use, free federal, $9.95 for my state, free e-filing for both, direct deposit. Best part: 40 minutes start to finish. Refund to hit my account in 8-10 days. I really wish I’d have done it in the first place…would’ve saved me no end of stress. Oh well, had I gotten my refund earlier I would’ve spent it on something silly like paying bills. Now I’ll be using it to go on a mini-vacation with my niece’s family. (And also to pay some bills! Don’t worry, Mom!)

I’ve just spent the entire morning training on the new ribbon board at our arena. It uses the same program as our regular matrix board…technically…but it’s several versions newer. Which means it’s kinda like knowing how to work Windows 3.1 and suddenly being given Vista. I know the language, but I feel like a kindergartener rather than a college professor. I think I’ll get the hang of it, but the games this weekend are going to be entertaining in more than one way. Always an adventure!
