I'm at the library, and I've just noticed they have a no e-mail sign. 
 
Today was the absolute pits.  The hospital had a transformer blow and my electricity went out at about 10 o'clock.  I had emergency power come back up for lights, but I had no computer, no fax, and no xerox machine.  After a short while I felt as if I were going stark raving mad, pacing, creating things to do.  I am used to spending hours on the computer and without it my job vaporizes. 
 
That is totally bizarre about your wife's hairdresser.  I wonder why she never mentioned it. 
 
One of the things enjoyable about starting to write you was that I eat lunch alone, and don't have any buddies at work.  Once in a while (yesterday) a friend comes to eat with me.  Yesterday was her birthday and she came over (I paid).  To make it less boring I set aside that time to read the daily paper. 
 
I'm glad you seem to like your job.  I have found it such a relief to enjoy mine, although at times when it is slow I have to be creative to get through the day.
 
I discovered a neat internet site.  Have you ever taken the Myers-Briggs inventory.  I found an online version and took the test (I haven't changed, as I also took it years ago).  It was fun.  I've always felt that the type inventory was the best tool I ever had to understand myself.  Apparently the type I am is only found in about 2% of the population (intuitive, introverted, thinker).  I'll try and get the web address as I got into it through several layers and don't recall it right off.  I think you would find it fun.  The explanatory pages for explaining the types are quite good. The Myers-Briggs helped explain to me why I find it so difficult to relate to many people.  That gave me comfort, to have that understanding.   I have the early edition of the book from which the explanations came, but I didn't know there was a Book 2 out. (Please Understand Me II)
 
I have not been writing to pec.com until you said you got it straightened out.  I better get off.  Some smart ass kid just came by. 
 
I'll communicate later.  I was in agony not having access today.

Again, there seems to be a missing email from me as Elizabeth mentions something happening with Julie’s hairdresser and that I said I like my new job.
