Well, I decided not to take the place in the duplex I mentioned on Sunday. The room I was going to get was pretty big, though I'm not too sure about moving in with someone I don't know that well. He also has 4 cats. One cat may have been ok, but I think having four in place is not the greatest, plus I think it would be better if Colin and I get a place or I find a one bedroom for myself. This event, though, really got my parents' attention. They know now that I'm pretty serious about moving, and amazingly they are somewhat supportive. They are willing to subsidize part of my rent. We'll see how this goes. Colin is going to try to get a good job, but I would also like to see him go back to school as well. Both can be done at the same time.

At work the past two days I have been battling with a modem, trying to get it to work. The modem needs a little help picking up the receiver and keeping it up. In other words, it would try to dial before opening the line. Strangely, the only way I could get the thing to work would be to dial manually with another phone on the line and keep that phone off the hook, and also I had to use the Apple modem script rather than the one provided to be used with that particular modem. Crazy stuff, but I convinced them that the needed to buy an new modem. I hate modems problems with a passion, even more than printer problems.

Anyway, I have an Access database to create and populate for class tomorrow, so I should get back to work.
