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.

Or insanity, depending on how you look at it. I am in at stupid o’clock because there is a pit party before the first show. It’s OK, I obviously have my laptop and an internet connection, so if nothing else I can do random searches for things to see where it takes me. Sometimes that can be fun.

Or at least all but the piles at the corners of the driveway and sidewalk. It rained for most of yesterday and melted it all away! I couldn’t be more excited…it’s no secret if you’ve followed these posts for more than ten minutes that I hate winter. I’m sure we’ve still got one more snowstorm in store since that’s how it works here, but for now it’s been near 50F and my daffodils are almost blooming. I’ll take it!

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!)

It’s not that I don’t know in principle how the new board works, it’s that I learn by doing. And when I learn by doing, it is most helpful to have someone else near me who knows more than me. Last night I was on my own with the new board while simultaneously having to help the person working under me with the existing board since he’s still training. It didn’t go incredibly badly, but it definitely could have been a lot better. Trying to remember the new software language while still needing to think in terms of the old language hung me up a few times…go figure. Ah well…progress.
