It’s like snorkeling

Hi. I’m alive. Sorry for disappearing. The social calendar has become a nuclear fusion. Folks start to pop in to say “Hi, how are ya? Let’s have lunch/dinner/go shopping/go to the movie!” from all directions. Dios mio! I don’t even have time to do laundry! I mean, I have been wearing skirts 2 days in a row and that is starting to scare people in the office. LOL.

Ms. DumbAss pops out of her office as UberGeek walks down the hallway. Ms. DumbAss: Hey, Computer Guy! (From the gist of it, dude’s a programmer, not even an IT support guy.) Can I ask you a question? UberGeek: Sure. (Being awfully nice) What can I help you with? DA: What size monitor is this? UB: That would be a 17-inch flat panel monitor.
