It has been a busy few days. Zach came home Thursday night and brought 22 (count them) loads of laundry. Between getting him situated to go back to school, washing clothes and church stuff , my weekend was crazy. Throw in bronchitis and an ear infection, my cup overflows. Monday brought more talking time, Tuesday brought the Relay for Life Captain's Meeting and dinner with one of my friends. As soon as my head touches my stinky pillow that I have had for 43 years, I am out for the night. Early to bed and whatever the past few days.
But today, I spent the afternoon in Raleigh with some fellow geeks at a PUG meeting, or for the nongeeks, the Progress User Group Fall 2008 Meeting. Progress our database back end. As you have figured out, I have a second grade sense of humor. One of the Progress guys out in the vapor has written a couple of tuning and database admin books. These are like THE definitive books on the subject. The author's last name is Foreman (here comes the potty humor), but in my office we replace "Man" with "Skin". Any time we ever talked about the books in the office, we always used his other name (Don't ask me why, but this is always hilariously funny to us. Almost as funny as when someone will said "Hard Drive" or ask if our name can be changed to Team IT (abbreviate it) ). So today, when I was talking about how good a reference these books were to me, I used his other name, without thinking because that is the name my brain normally knows. I am in a room full of men, talking about the performance tuning book by Fore(Fill in the blank). I am not sure if I need to wash my mouth out with soap or if I am their new hero.
