Bored.

At the moment, I have two large projects in play at work currently. One is cruising along on its own, all done except for the actual work ticket execution over the next two weeks. The other is on hold as I wait for various people to respond to my queries.

With a single e-mail, I completed all of my must-do work for today. I'm now officially bored.

I'd like to get my hair cut if at all possible so perhaps I'll dash out early for that. Still, the cleaning crew should be scrubbing our house this afternoon so it would probably be better if I stayed away from the house and out of their way.

Maybe I'll just nap in the car.

WETA flips again

DC has two NPR stations: WAMU and WETA. For many years, WAMU had a news & information line-up while WETA was primarily a classical music station. Back in February of 2005, WETA dropped its classical music programs in favour of news, effectively duplicating many of the programs which WAMU was offering. I was a little miffed at the time, as I suspected that the two stations would split the NPR audience sufficiently to endanger both of them.

As of today, WETA has flipped back from news to classical. Apparently, the remaining classical music commercial station has updated their playlist so their music library and even some staff are being given to WETA in a deal to ensure a classical program stays in the greater Washington DC area.

For my own selfish purposes, this is close to the ideal solution. The only thing I could ask for is that WAMU, my preferred station, had a more powerful signal and thus a greater listening range.

Our Home Is Clean Again!

As mentioned previously, we've been cleaning our own home since July when our prior cleaning service went out of business. We've been holding our own but it wasn't a pleasant experience.

This afternoon, our new cleaning service came in to give the house a complete baseline cleaning; they will be returning every two weeks to keep the place tidy. Yay!

Thanks to guiser1 and Richard C. for their recommendation!

Ahhhhhh...
