choke on that causality

If you are sick of POP3 mail like I was, then you should check out IMAP. The problem with POP3 is that once you download the email, it is no longer on the server, and you can only access your mail from the one machine and one client (like Outlook) that you downloaded it to. IMAP, on the other hand, keeps the email on the server, and an email client can sync with it. It is a great email protocol to use for those of us that want to access our mail from multiple machines using multiple email clients. I can access my email now at work in addition to my default exchange email, and I can access it from both my laptop and desktop home computers.

IMAP is not available through all email providers but there are some free services you can try out. IMAP services were included with my domain, but AIM offers this service for free. It’s worth a look.

Today the kitties and pigs played together in the pig pen. Makalu would try to pounce on them but then back out at the last minute, and Quentin would try to chew on the hair of Makalu’s tail. It was so cute. Makalu even got into one of the pig igloos - It was a tight fit.

Today Kristen Davis was on The View and she said that there is a very good chance that there is going to be a Sex and the City movie. I’m already excited!

Tomorrow is kittie’s first vet appt. I bet he’s going to love that. Oh btw…check out the new Pets page I put up. It has cute pictures of the whole lot of animals we got.

I don’t know what my problem is. I need to start taking Xanax more often or something. It seems like I always get invited to these meetings and I don’t really know anyone, and I just get this feeling like I can’t speak up and say anything during discussions. I have relevant things to say, I think. I sometimes feel like I’m just some stupid kid. I know that is so completely lame. There is a large generational gap here at work. And it is strange…but I just need to get over it.

Another thing I’ve noticed about meetings. What is up with people and their blackberries? Why do you attend a meeting if you are just going to flip through your blackberry emails the whole time? It seems like people have this need to feel connected through their electronic devices. Is is safety? Are we so used to contacting people through email, IM, and text messages that we would just rather keep it that way? It’s like IMing the person in the cube next to you at work. Even I’m to blame.
