Now that the trash trucks are starting at 6:00 instead of 7:00, Tuesday starts with "Gotta get the trash out Right Now!" even though they still don't get to us before I leave for work. So far, anyway. I could live without the moment of panic every Tuesday morning, though. If I hadn't gotten this week's trash out in time today, I really don't want to know what it would have evolved into by next trash day.

I made a command decision and am taking the middle two weeks of August off. Now the question is when do I want to go for the certification dives, since I'm doing it as a private session. That means I don't have to do it on a weekend if I don't want to. Hmm. Well, for the moment, get me through the faculty retreat in three weeks and then I'll think about that.

Speaking of the retreat, I've spent way too much time trying to get Excel and Powerpoint to do what I want. I can't believe the only way to get a legend out of a graph and put it elsewhere is to save the graph as a picture and crop it down to just the legend. Which is what happens when you have six pie charts you want to put on one slide and the six legends take up entirely too much space. (Yes, I know, six pie charts on one slide is absurd. But it makes sense in context.)

Decisions, decisions...what do I want for my birthday? More cookbooks, or more clothes, or a dive computer?
