My Machine, She is broke

Friday (2/17)I worked indexing Strangers On The Earth.

Unfortunately, I hit two snags.

First, the computer server is down today; that means I can neither update my Blog nor post anything on my webside.

Next, I worded for hours indexing the wrong version of Strangers; that is, I indexed a backup copy which I had not updated so the pagination is different from the version I’ll send to the printer. This goof came about because I was not paying attention to what I was doing.

Back to the drawing board.

Again.

Ginny came home from her office still not knowing here job status. After telling everyone two months ago that today 22 of the 105 people working in the office would be laid off, today the administration made no announcement at all. This leaves Ginny and everyone else there to spend the weekend in limbo.

Sometimes I wonder if satan himself does not top the organizational chart in most businesses. However, the Lord’s kingdom is not of this world and out job and joy is to fit into His plans whatever is going on in the world at the same time.

After dinner out, we did watch the vcr of Hercules And The Captive Women: This king kidnaps Hercules and put him aboard this ship bound to conquer Atlantis where the evil queen is sacrificing luscious young girls to a volcano and where all the palace guards dress in black armor. And Hercules plugs up the mouth of the volcano with bad guys he lifts above his head to throw in the hole while girls cling to his sweaty chest while their white negligees (which never get dirty even in the cave) threaten to slip off their shoulders and this dragon bites the heads off the guys Hercules throws in the hole and it snaps and bites and claws and Hercules lifts this boulder and … I fell asleep.

Good thing.

It would spoil the movie for you if I revealed the ending now.
