So, Friday I got 5 medals. Moved up in one category from Beginner to Novice, but have no idea which one... too excited about getting medals to write it down :))
Will get the Feis results in a week or so and find out. (oh, and no residuals from the magnesium fairy LOL)
This week has been the pits. Tuesday morning my Vaxes all go haywire and stop talking to each other and decide to hose up and crash ( these are machines that were installed back in 1985ish, (that's what, 25 years or so?)are still humming along nicely and are about as big as a standard sized refrigerator). These machines run so well and are never down, that when they hose up, we all sit around for about 20 minutes and try to remember how to trouble shoot them and where to look for problems. LOL. My disk farm and a bunch of windows servers (we have about 140 of them) start upchucking too. The users are screaming and it's all pandamonium...
So I go ask the network guys what gives on with VLAN1 (the subnet that all these machines are on) and they say, oh nothing. So, it takes about an hour to convince them that their gear is hosed. Sure enough, after about 3 hours of stewing and spewing, they decide to turn one router (that was not doing anything but spewing) off and reboot some other ones. Everything comes back up just peachy and working fine. All but one VAX which has a blown network card. So, parts have to be flown in from the warehouse, overnighted from Caliprunia... the land of the fruits and nuts. Wednesday, everything gets repaired a day late and a dollar short.
And Thursday, funny, but most the network slowness has disappeared and my disk farm is talking better than it has in quite some time... ummmmmmmm maybe they should reboot the cisco switches once in awhile.
ya think !!!
Nahhhh I ain't a computer geek, just sound like one. Actually I think we should all go back to finger dialing phones with wires to the wall, paper and pencil, talking face to face... stuff like 'dat!!
Geeeeeeeeeeez, glad it's friday...

Funny Story
Want to hear a funny story...
So, I have a competition this evening. Today is Friday.
Last friday, saturday and monday, we had dance practice. So my legs are killing me by tuesday, bad bad shin splints. So, I'm thinking I used to take cal/mag tablets for my muscles and they worked pretty good. I was out and had not taken any since maybe Thanksgiving. So I stop at the store and the Calcium Citrate blend only had 80 mg of magnesium so I get a straight 500mg magnesium suppliment to go with the Calcium Citrate blend.
I get home and not even thinking... I down FOUR mag tablets and 1 cal/mag. So that is 2080 mg of magnesium.
The next morning, I have cramps and diareha so bad I can hardly walk, and it lasts until... you got it... last night. Today I feel okay --- THANK GOD, AS HELLLLLLLLLLO I HAVE A COMPETITION TONIGHT !!!!.
Now, how DUMBBBBBB was that. The bloating was the worst, I didn't even fit in my pants it was so bad...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you have to laugh, it was soooooooooo stupid...
So, all week I been wondering why I was sabotaging myself... I knew too much magnesium gives one the back door trots and cramps... Just stage fright I'm thinking...

'Sposed to Snow Today
Yesterday it was 70 (do you realize there is no degree symbol on a keyboard - yeah, I saw you look...- there is one on a typewriter tho...), today it is 45 and 'sposed to snow. So far, the sun is out.
Going to Castle rock this evening for another Irish competion. Two of my solo sets actually have 6 and 7 people in them, so it will actually mean something if I get a medal in that one. The slip jig and the single jig. Don't like the slip so I will really have to concentrate on that one. The other two solos are in the "Adult Over 40" group and only 3 and 4 people so a medal would not move me up into the Novice category. I'm really happy to have more than just me and Ken in the over 40 crowd.
I think I have to place twice against 5 or 6 people to move to Novice. Hey, I'm happy just finishing! That is an accomplishment!
My horoscope for today says to get outside even if the weather is crappy. So, the weather is going to most likely be crappy !!!
