Over 2 rivers and through lots of snow...

...to grandmother's (& Grandpa's) house we went. Janey got to experience her first mid-western snow storm. I discovered how well her little pickup works in the snow (very well, but would do better with about 100lbs extra in the bed. Gonna have to get a couple of bags of sand before winter really hits) and we found tha even with a couple of hours of 30mph driving (near white-out conditions in Illinois due to the snowstorm) we can make Omaha in 12 hours or less. I'll post more about Thanksgiving later. I'm using these posts to try out e-mail posting along with a delayed outbox from my new handheld.

I don't have to help you...

Today I learned that I don't work for the entire GRI. There are several departments, and I work for Genome Science, who also happens to be the managing department of the GRI. If one of the other departments wants my help, they havfe to pay Genome Science for it. Now it would be nice if I could tell who was who... Gonna have to figure that one out.

Working...

So, I've just started working at the GRI (Genome Research Institute). Really cool people. But they all save up issues for a while, then attack all at once. Today, I walked past an office and was beckoned in. Lady wanted to connect her Zip drive, and BTW, she wanted to print to a different printer, and BTW, she didn't think she had a DVD drive, why wouldn't it find her CD-ROM drive....

After being one-more-thinged for about 30 minutes, I was out of there. I enjoy working here, but gonna have to kill some people...
