susandennisMy job future is still a question mark. Oh, that sounds drastic. It's not. There may be a reduction in the number of hours I work a week. I'm shooting for a whole day off or 2 with the other work days full of work. We'll see.
So that's one of the reasons why I haven't bought the new TV yet. The other is that, without my contact, I can see the old one just fine. So far, I've been operating fine and dandy with no contact and no glasses. It's actually pretty amazing.
Another reason is that the problem with my TV - slow to turn on - is not getting worse.
But the new one is calling me anyway because it is so sexy.
The TV I settled on (47" Vizio, LED xvt473SV) is not, apparently, enjoying a Super Bowl sale. If I get it (which I probably will), I'll mostly likely get it from Amazon.
In other money news, I finally got the receipt from MGM Grand - about 8 hours AFTER the charge hit my Discover card. Still lame. Happily there were no surprises and the money I squirreled away for the trip covered all the expenses including both the new pillow and an extra expense I hadn't counted on so the bill is paid and CES is over... sigh. It was grand.

We are supposed to get snow this afternoon. Not enough to be fun but just enough to fuck up the afternoon commute. It looks snow ready outside. And it's nice and cold. I'm ready for it to start now.

Check it out!
I haven't bought one in spite of the allure because I just fired my biggest client and I have the inverse of the work ratio you are aiming for.
Oh, well, it's a new year!
