been a while"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Well, here I sit at my father&#8217;s desk at the house in Marksville.\u00a0 I wish he could have been here to see the advancement of technology over the years.\u00a0 I connected to the Internet using my Nexus phone in tethered mode.\u00a0 While it is not blazing fast, it is responsive.\u00a0 I was going to try and set up my own laptop but I left the power supply in Bossier.\u00a0 So I am using Pam&#8217;s to work on this.\u00a0 When we got here Wednesday evening, we found the branch down that you see in the previous post.\u00a0 It had taken the main power line to the house down at the pole.\u00a0 Thank God for that so there was no danger from a live wire.\u00a0 I called the power company and they actually responded in about 20 minutes.\u00a0 We also made note of a branch in another tree that was stuck way up that poses no hazard to the house but if it came down it might hit the three main power lines running along side of the street.\u00a0 Once we got power back on, Pam and I replaced the AC unit in our bedroom here with one I had gotten from the Death\u00a0 Trailer.\u00a0 It&#8217;s nice to have a good working AC unit in that room again.\u00a0 It started going out in 2009 but hey, it lasted 32 years!<\/p>\n<p>We spent the night at the local casino and hotel last night and played in the indoor pool there.\u00a0 It was a pleasant time.\u00a0 When we got back, we saw that there had been a red tie put around the tree with the branch in it.\u00a0 I am assuming that it was done by Entergy.\u00a0 Maybe they will be nice and cut down the one branch that is stuck in the fork hanging over the yard that poses no threat to either the house or the power lines.\u00a0 We will see.\u00a0 Last time I was here, I pulled the cord off of my chain saw, now I wish I had not.\u00a0 That limb will make nice firewood.\u00a0 I suspect once it is all cut up, it will stack two or three cords.\u00a0 It will be nice to have the fireplace going again now that the front room is cleaned up.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to ask Jeff, my brother-in-law, if he is willing to come down one day and help me make the front bathroom functional again.\u00a0 The floor needs to be repaired so it can support a toilet again.\u00a0 There is some much to do at both places and money is kind of tight right now but things are good.<\/p>\n<p>I updated the application I developed for the training department at work to include the voice department and streamlined the import process.\u00a0 And of course everything worked for me flawlessly, however, Vic broke it first thing out.\u00a0 Also broke the error reporting module as well, so back to work on it on Sunday.\u00a0 I also start another project for Tim on Monday for scorecard data.\u00a0 I get any bonuses I am currently getting now.\u00a0 The billing bonus is a no brainer but the CPS and FCR bonuses remain to be seen.\u00a0 I was working WAHA help desk and there are no CPS or FCR surveys on that queue.\u00a0 I took some regular calls through out the week and am hoping for the best.\u00a0\u00a0 I will also end up taking some calls on Sunday as well.<\/p>\n<p>I think that catches everything up for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, here I sit at my father&#8217;s desk at the house in Marksville.\u00a0 I wish he could have been here to see the
