Reboot
I spent most of yesterday reformatting my hard drive and getting everything reinstalled. Suffice to say, I had foolishly been operating without a firewall for a very long time, and was starting to find some suspicious crap on my computer. So I wiped it and started over. (Yes, I have a firewall now.) Performance seems to have improved considerably, but I'm still at that annoying stage where I have to tweak everything to get it just where I want it. I will, I imagine, survive. :)
My interview on Friday was insanely short, but seemed to go well. Keep your fingers crossed for me, please. I'd really like this job. You'll hear anything as soon as I do. And also, we placed the order for our new house on Saturday. Sometime this week we should hear an estimated delivery date--again, you'll know when I do.
I feel like I spend so much time waiting for things to happen nowadays. It'll be nice to get back to actually being able to MAKE things happen.
