    I got to my treadmill portion of the day early on, and when I was done and stripped to prepare to shower, I noticed some blood smeared around my right middle toenail. Pressing around the area was in fact more sensitive than normal at that time, but not by enough that I could discern any sort of injury. The sock wasn't stained around the area, so it wasn't enough to bleed through. Everything seems normal now regardless.

    I made a new test submission and decided to make an initial attempt ...

    A thirty five minute call to the IRS has put me on track to receive assistance from their programming analysts. I wonder why there's no instance content for a Form 1120S which is accessible to all employees there.

    I woke up with something of a hangover today. I managed to put down this entire bottle of Glenlivet scotch in the course of two weeks. I'm quite surprised how quickly it depleted.

    Biggest highlight of the song session today is that I managed to pass Skyscraper. ...

    I got into a conversation with my coworker about general "future technology" things and the like - as it turns out, he at least gives a damn about that sort of thing and watches the show 2057 (which I'll have to do some research about to see if it's worth my time). It was rather refreshing to do so, in that there's at least a time where I didn't have to move a conversation along about sports or simply work in pure silence other than to issue and acknowledge commands. I am curious about ...

    In light of the recent news articles about Panasonic and their difficulties, I think my hand may be forced and I'll be looking to get a plasma screen sooner than later, and possibly within a few weeks. The sales are here, so hopefully a good deal comes my way. The store does have a few specific days set for employees who worked on Thanksgiving day, and the new aspect to it this year is that they get 20% off of an entire transaction. There are two Panny plasmas available at the store, the P42X5 and ...

    D3. One of the people who used to be a daily coop pal bought some gold a few weeks ago and subsequently was immediately burned out and hasn't played since. I still have the contact though, and he was nice enough to log back on and basically lend me all of the stuff he had equipped for an indefinite amount of time. Another person who lives in Korea that was one of my main chatting buddies in the game has just shown up today after informing me that he has completed an apartment transfer and new PC ...

    For all the speculation and concern over what today would turn out to be, the day's work was rather dull overall. That isn't to say it wasn't busy - from the start until the end there was enough to do, particularly with so many carts being used in the store among customers and employees alike. Beyond a sizable accumulation of carts beyond the store's own parking lot which took a single extra excursion to reclaim, there really was nothing else remarkable about the day for our job. The grocery half ...

    Within moments after waking up for work this morning, my wife had a spell of vomiting which didn't fully cease until she was in the parking lot of the store on the way to work. I'm not quite sure what explanation or culprit there is for this behavior, if there is anything specific beyond her own personal digestive ability, because I'm fine and my mother in law is fine. In times like this, she always blames the previous night's dinner for the problem but we've had the same meal several times before. ...

    While exercising today, I had a new score hit for Muchi Muchi Pork Manpuku mode. For the last few months I have slowly inched my way past 35 million or so to reach 44 million as my highest within this week, I believe. Today I hit the 50 million extend during the Stage 3 boss and spent my last life in Stage 4 for a new high of 55 million. The score puts me at #6 on the online leaderboard for the game. There's still no 1CC recorded yet. The #1 score is 115 million or so. I wonder how far I can actually ...

    D3. Teaching her how to set proper pricings and find new stock to buy took nearly 90 minutes. I had that kind of day and just sat back with some Glenfitch scotch and had to explain, inch by painstaking inch, about everything on the screen and how to do the homework to get the prices set for sales. Sometimes I wonder I would see the supposed truth for myself, that there's generally better players of the game on HC.

    It turns out that the dinner to more commemorate my Dad's birthday at ...

    I like to think it's because of the work day today. That's what I told my wife, anyway, in between playing songs here and as I saw her to bed this evening.

    It's a game that I didn't even care about before release. And I'm on that forum and punching at the wall, over and over again.

    It's because today really drained me, I said out loud, as my feet continue to pulse from the wear. That's how I justify it in my head and outside of it.

    Because they'll listen. ...

    Letter to the IRS sent. Hope I get a response by Tuesday.

    I feel like I'm flailing my legs a lot more on my bike now. I definitely need to see about finding a rapair shop around here and buy a new gear.

    Let it be known that it is rather difficult to type with one hand while the other pets a cat belly.

    A lot of easy charts came up in today's song run. I thought that I might be in for some trouble after the lousy run with In The Sky, Golden Horn, and Eraser ...

    I'm riding home from work today on my bike. I approach the driveway, which has a steep incline, and suddenly I feel the gear pop and my pedals go free. It's happened before, only now they stay loose. After some investigation, I come to see that the gear mechanism at the rear wheel has become loose and rendered the bike unusable.

    After dinner, I go to a Sports Authority in search of a gear replacement, as I don't want to return to my work place and I figure they might have it there. ...

    So far I have made a few test submissions of the First Scenario for Form 1120 (from Publication 4162) and the results are ... not total success, but rather close. As important, I didn't stumble out of the gate with an error report that was as long as the submitted data. The first test returned 20 errors, most of which were very easy to fix, as they related to checkbox data (some require a 1 or 0, others require an actual character "X" or to have the tag be removed entirely), others were ...

    I think the main reason that I keep putting off making Form 1120 test data is that I am not looking forward to having to figure out how to correct what I am sure are going to be dozens of errors on each initial attempt. Having Regular Expression scripts coded to filter out everything en masse is definitely preferential to the old method of writing an individual script file per Form, but I envision that I'm going to spend numerous hours hunting down missing tags which get obliterated by the RegEx ...

    Errand Day.

    First task was to drive to the residence of one of my wife's coworkers to help with a new PC acquisition. They wanted to properly transfer files from the old machine to the new one. As I believe I have stated previously, the machine was still unopened in the box upon my arrival. The only content of files which she had to move were less than 100 Word documents and a few directories of pictures. I'm pretty sure it all could have fit on a 4GB thumb. If her (and her husband's) ...
