dchenesI've been getting the "message-from-person-with-strange-name" spam in my Road Runner account a lot lately. Fortunately my mail program seems to have learned that one. I'm not sure whether I should be amazed that it took almost two years to start getting spam in that account, or whether I should be amazed that I only get discount software and cheap Viagra spam. In my KSU account, I get "wanna be a secret shopper/make money taking surveys/join the armed forces" spam, and in my Yahoo account I don't get much of anything, which is shocking, because my Yahoo account is the throwaway one I give to eBay and Amazon and places like that.
I keep running into things I probably really need, and should really spend money on, except I don't have any money to spend on them. I want Word for XP, and I can get Office for XP for $30 (gotta love student prices), and I want Wordfast for OS X (180 euros, and I forget what the exchange rate is these days). Then there's the fact that I've never owned an honest-to-goodness business suit and probably should (and where the hell am I going to get one around here?), and I have to come up with something businesslike to present my case study in, and I'm not sure I have anything presentable that fits me any more, and...if I could sell the iBook, I would have at least a little money to do stuff like that with. But I really don't want to put it on eBay (seems like more of a hassle than I want to deal with). Maybe I'll put it on the Cleveland version of craigslist.
If I don't quit blathering on about nothing in particular, I'll never get any cleaning done today. (Now where did I put the loud obnoxious 80s music suitable for cleaning the bathroom?)
