Hello, y'all. Weekend was good. Victoria Williams is on a little of that Medicinal Marijuana, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.

Ok, we have these huge things every quater called a System Communications Meeting. I call them The Quarterly Ordeals. Anyway, this meeting, which we are in charge of in my dept, is broadcast to all of the hospitals in our system via videoconference. It's a big, mega pain in the ass, and the undertaking is so large, our whole department has to help.

This one is being broadcast from a hospital in Bedford, TX and I have to go out there today to set-up and tomorrow for the meeting. It's stuuuuuupid.

Oh, and re: the portal. I like Sock Puppet Companions. And it's available. The question is: should we make it just MATH or should we ask pam if she wants to be on it?

I'm willing to manage it. It shouldn't be too hard. But I don't think you want me to design it, as I suck.

And as much as we're 100000x cooler than DHAK I like how it's set up.

"One thing that was a bit odd was the fact that I only had four or five people to talk to out of the entire group. Someone made a comment that it was due to the fact that not all of them had anything in common with me. It is quite true, actually. I can't sit there and listen to them talk about the sale items at Wal-Mart (which was an actual conversation topic), how their husbands are doing on their dart teams, and how their dirty pick-up trucks leak oil in their garages. I'm serious here, people. I can't make this stuff up. None of them were interested in listening to how I was having a business dinner later on with a client, or how I had to go to Nordstrom's to buy a new evening gown for when I'm going out in a month with my father and the CEO of his company for a black tie dinner party. I couldn't sit there and tell them how my business has taken off or how I'm choosing which college I want to go to full-time, because none of them have ever had to make those decisions for themselves (because they chose to raise families instead) or because their kids are not in college (because they are not old enough). It was nothing more than having a large group of people together who had different paths in life, but with some of us that gap was a lot larger than it was with some others. It created a bit of tension that I hope will go away after a while because I seriously want this to work out and be fun."

She infuriates me. For heaven's sake, she's hanging out with people who buy garbage that they sell at Cracker Barrels. She buys the same crap. Where is the difference? She is a snob, and she is clueless, and I hate her I hate her. Ugh.

First of all, I'm all about the portal. But, as is painfully obvious from my own site, I can't design for shit.

A press release, being prepared now:

ARLINGTON, Va. - Mike Berman was named CEO of triumph_and_disaster, a journal hosted by geocities, on Monday.

Berman, the owner and sole user of the web site, announced his promotion at a sparsely-attended press conference.

"I'm honored and overwhelmed," Berman said. "No more shopping at Wal- Mart for me. And now, dinner's all about the Olive Garden -- no more Boston Market runs here."

We actually met late, because I worked until seven on Saturday and she had a dinner party with her parents.

I think that's the use for my winnings in the Super Bowl pool -- domain names. The only thing I'm worried about is friends and family finding the journal. So I'm sort of thinking of having bermanation or bermanater/ar as my home page, and something else as the journal host.

Finally reading Meg's entry. I love the first sentence:
I never do well in social situations which involve a large amount of people

Oh, that's just too easy. It's also the big reason why I have no plans to home-school my kids.

I see she still has lots of love for waitresses...

"If Mexico is dirty walls, dim lighting, cold room temperatures and idiotic wait staff, I don't want to go there." Well, Mexico's certainly no Aurora, Ohio, but I'd be very happy if she never left the country because she'd be one of those Ugly Americans who wants to know why they don't fry the eggs in Paris like they do at the Denny's in Cleveland.

"Deciding what college she wants to go to full-time." Somehow, that reminds me of when a football coach is fired, and he starts talking about all the "wonderful opportunities" he's sorting through. Nine times out of ten, he winds up selling used cars. By a similar token, five'll get you ten that Meg will never leave the state of Ohio in her college-searching experience, and it's even money that community college is the only school in her near future.

No, I used that layers thing in Dreamweaver that Al taught me how to use over the phone. Sweet thing.

My e-mail comes to Outlook Express--you just type your server name in (which is mail.yoursite.com) and your SMTP server name (your ISP's server), and that's it. It was really easy. They send you all the directions on how to do everything.

She was all, "Oh, well, Dave and I will move ANYTHING you need us to, just tell us when." But she said it in a way taht was all, "get the hell out of here." However, she emailed me today to make sure that I would leave her my coffee table, end table, my kitchen chairs, etc., "until they had a chance to buy some of their own."

Whatever. It's sort of pitiful, but I doubt I'll hang out with her after I move out for good. My room is filthy, too - her mom was in town this past weekend, and her friend was in town the weekend before that (and I doubt she changed the sheets - EW.) - and they've been staying in there. And as if she would clean up after them.

I don't think so.

Mike - where did you register bermanation.com?

T - no, you keep diaryland! If that works for you, that's koo'.

your-site.com.

Seriously, though, I'm checking every day to see if the weasels who swiped bermanator and thebermanator but have done nothing with them let the addresses lapse back into the public domain.

I'll also throw down if one if y'all stays in Metairie. If someone does want a hotel, I have a hook-up.

I wanted hannahgirl so bad.

I'm going to do your-site too! Is that where you're going to host as well?

I'm going home. Check in latah.

Yeah, no one's stayin in Meterie.

Yeah, that's where I'm hosting as well. I don't know enough about the process to really shop around.

The one thing I've discovered is that since I bought the name, I can't stop singing "Keep Feeling Fascination", with "Bermanation" substitued in the appropriate places.

I am heading home, y'all.

I am looking forward to Bermanation and SPC. Ooh - in keeping with Allison and Hannah's entry pages and the whole sock puppet theme, maybe we could put pictures of us when we were little next to the link to our journals.

Unless that's all hokey.

I'll see if I can't dig one up (and then I'll have to ask our graphics guy how to use the scanner).

You'll be happy to know that leigha will take her future husband's last name.

You'll be happy to know I updated. I've figured something out. I'm not funny. At all. And I may also be a bad writer. I can't write in this stupid journal. For some reason, I can sit down and tell 3000 stories in person or via e-mail, but I can't MAKE myslef write something good.

Bah.

Y'all, did my little evil-kid picture inspire you that much? Well, what better to illustrate the SPCs' inner children?

Oh, Allison. Your momma may hate your daddy, but she definitely raised a daughter who can write.

-- Anonymous, February 05, 2001

Well, yours raised a nice guy, I'll tell you that for free.

Mayn, it's just hard. I guess the frequency is what's going to get me. Seems like I can only write everyday for work about diseases and disorders and stuff, and when I'm done with that, I don't have much left.

I hate to leave y'all, but I really must say, goodnight, sweethearts, goodnight. Y'all give me some **hugs** for the Quarterly Ordeal tomorrow. I'll be back in the office around 3, my time.

I love you jags. I'll check back in latah.

-- Anonymous, February 05, 2001

Yeah, and nice guys finish ...

Actually, I'm oot as well. And I'm off tomorrow, but I'll be in writing my column and ... wait for it ... working out. After my annual resolution to hit the gym more, this will be my third time at HealthWorks in 2001.

And if the your-site jags will set me up, I'll be starting the whole moving-over-the-files process.

But of course, I won't be checking in later. Someday, I'll actually get a home computer.
