Clean up day

Today is clean up day. I moved from one cubicle to one in another room (to get away from the Twinkies) about a month ago. The guy in charge of moves here told me I could 'probably move on Monday'. When it turned out he wasn't here that Monday, I made the unilateral decision to ignore the 'probably'. (I'm bigger than he is anyway so I wasn't worried about a show down.

The point to that is that I moved in kind of a hurry and never got things as organized as I would like. I had a lot more room over in Twinkieville so I just kind of crammed stuff in here. So it's time, now, to get it organized.

Plus - and here's the ulterior motive - I can't find my Paint Shop Pro book. I know it's here somewhere.

What a good little Doobie am I

My work area is spotless and organized. I went through every drawer every pile and everything is in its proper place. I mean everything. It looks like the person who sits here is the poster boy for Tidy Week!

On the down side, I had plenty of time to do this today... The calm before the holidays has set in. There is nothing going on and it's only Thursday. I'm thinking the next 3 and a half days are going to be pretty dead. I need to get creative about how I'm going to use this time...

Browser Trickster

Doncha just hate it when your browser plays tricks on you? Or does that just happen to me? I use IE6. Yesterday or the day before my home machine started doing funny stuff. Some web pages - not all, and not LJ - but some web pages were displaying the worlds teensy weensy font size. I think I didn't notice it at first until I happened on my own page and they were teensy weensy letters, too! They are the right size at work. Microscopic at home.

I tried everything. I screwed with the display fonts and it didn't fix it. I messed with the resolution. That wasn't it. I went to the Microsoft Knowledge Base but the print was too small to even see the results!

And then the Duh... In IE there's a 'feechur' I always forget about. View>Text Size. Some prankster - Betty?? Jake??? - had set that sucker to 'smallest'. And, no shit - when they say smallest, they mean smallest. Fixed now and it will be a while until I get caught by that trick again.
