- Got out of class early… two days in a row. Better enjoy that while it lasts.
- Independent study registration thingy signed, so now I only need to turn it in to the registrar.
- The US Postal Service. I love them; they make living sooo much easier, no joke.
- Double-paned windows. I can stay warm AND see outside–marvelous!
- Former director of The Kinsey Institute explains that, actually, sex during menstruation isn’t really that bad (unless you LIKE being squeamish and uptight about it).
Pay-per-Post: Rimini Street

[If you hadn't guessed from the first part of the title, this is a paid post.]
These guys have their work cut our for them if they expect to live up to their own advertisement(s). Rimini Street offers customers a PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, and Siebel support and maintenance program that “provides named support engineers, fixes for serious application issues, and guarantees case response in less than 30 minutes, all at 50% cost savings.” Honestly, I’m not sure how that’s possible. I mean, they offer so much more at that much of a reduced price? Seems too good to be true. So, I’m hopeful–but skeptical. Rimini Street works with USi, TSANet, Microsoft, and Quest. After a tiny bit of digging, I discovered that the 50% claim is good when compared with Oracle support. Anyway, I recommend checking them out, if you’re in the market, but be on guard for scam-like behavior on the website–just in case.

- Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to class I go.
- Free money! Found a dollar on the ground today.
- Free food! Not having any money forces me to go where the (free) food is, which gets me out of the house.
- An unclogged toilet. You have NO IDEA.
- Chatting with Esther early this afternoon.
