Today was an okay day at work.  I spent a great deal of my time today chasing down problems users were having here and there.  As pointed out by my brother this morning I had to renew my license before him and I could rent a vehicle; which we are planning to do so we can drive to Maryland to pick up our youngest brother for Thanksgiving.  Over my lunch time I drove down to the local DMV to renew my nearly one month expired license.  I was shocked at how fast I was in and out of the place! =)

When I got back I still had fifteen minutes of lunchtime left and was pleased to find that the memory I had ordered showed up today !!!  I thought and worried about my ram in my computer off and on since my system started becoming unstable.  I wanted so badly to rush home after work and test it out but I knew it had to wait.  As such, immediately following work Lucas and I headed to Enterprise to rent our vehicle.  From our online scouting we had it priced at about 25 dollars a day; unfortunately, the dingle berry who was helping us told another story.  He told us it would be cheaper to rent it for the whole week and that it was going to be about $260 =\ .  Dumb-founded, we left with talk of returning tomorrow on our decision.  When we got back to my place we popped on the Internet and came to the conclusion that the guy was trying to get us to rent a luxury car instead of the standard that we indicated.  I think tomorrow I’m going to just schedule the renting of the car online and skip the renting salesman.

I am happy to report that after the new ram was put into my computer it hasn’t glitched, crashed, or stalled yet! =)  I’m going to shut it down and start up a memory test and head to bed early to get caught up on my sleep…

Today wasn’t that great of a day.  The memory I ordered from New Egg didn’t come in today.  I checked the tracking number to see where it was and boy was I astounded…  It started in Edison, NJ via DHL and actually went past Fort Wayne to a town in Illinois =( .  From there it was tendered from DHL to the tried and true, fifteen paid vacation days a year, USPS.  Of course today is Veteran’s Day so, “No Ram For You!”  Oh well, hopefully I’ll have it by this Thursday, or by some miracle tomorrow.

When I got home I started working on my user library yet again.  While I was at work I had an idea to segment and break apart the library a bit by segmenting the functionality into separate classes and so far it has really helped.  I was working away on that until Lucas stopped by.  Apparently he went over a speed bump too hard and now oil is leaking out of his car at an alarming rate =( .  He drove it down home to check things out and didn’t realize how bad it was until he got down there and ended up taking our youngest brother’s car home as it’s available for the time being.  I felt bad for him as I could tell how upset and worried he was about it.  I’m hoping it’s something simple we can solve on our own.

I guess for the most part my day was a blurred, disapointing waste =\ .  Oh well, always tomorrow right?

Here is an update on my Top Knot.
