cord mania

Is there such a thing as a planned move involving things with cords? Sunday my boss came in the office and started moving everything. (don't ask why I was working on a Sunday at school in the summer). That meant moving the computers. There was no careful rolling up of cords. It was pull, lump, and move. By the time the componets were in the copy room, the cords were all twisted into each other. I had actually spent some time organizing the cords earlier that year. I needed that computer, not any other, to run transcripts for seniors getting ready for their freshman year at college. SO, yesterday I untangled everything and stole a network cable from another computer and set the stuff up in the conference room. I didn't even bother to try and organize them. Please, send me wireless. Yah! like that is going to happen.

ps. you don't really have to move anything for the cords to entwine, when I wasn't looking my own comuter and stereo/tv/dvd/ set up tangled up their own set of cords into a gordian knot.

dog story

so i called the wife of the driver of the sheep. i had forgotten that two years ago some friends of the single young farm assistant had given him a baby male lamb...for what reason i do not want to speculate. anyway when he left the half grown sheep went to live with the family of the man with the truck. they had goats for their daughter's faa project. so the ram and the goats lived together. now the daughter is off to college, the ram just eats and eats, and they couldn't find anyone to sheer it this year so he and a few billy goats went off to market. however the dog always follows the truck down to the pens when it is feeding time. so dog follows. after truck loaded, dog is smart enough to know she can't get caught because then she will not be able to go with the truck. she is quick enough to dodge capture. so driver tries to go fast enough around campus to tire dog out. he gets almost to the nearest little town, a mile away, when he calls for family to come and get dog. there were several solutions to this scenereo. lock up dog before going to feeding pens. if dog is at feeding pens and ram and billies in truck, open truck door and dog will jump in; then drive to house and have daughter grab dog when door is opened. however, as it was, the fast dust raising drive around campus entertain not only myself, but several other campus staff memebers.
