First thing I did was look at the length of time. Knew I was too tired to appreciate Epcot at its finest. My DD and I have a plan to pop it through her Apple TV and watch on her big TV.

Hope y'all got to watch it by now (I just watched it again), and enjoyed...! :)
So many things that aren't there anymore...and, I'm not necessarily ;), talking about attractions/rides...a fully active Communicore, entertainment, double-decker busses, etc. :bored:

Seeing everybody will be on much different schedules this summer and trying to do anything as a family except the long list of mandatory family functions will most likely not happen I came up with a plan to do fun things at home besides the pool. James has been asking to learn to sew for a month or two and my machine is not one to learn on so I asked my favorite shop owner to keep an eye out for an inexpensive learner machine. I got an email yesterday and one of the school machines he sells is being discontinued and he'll sell me the floor model for just the cost of the tune up and of course he backs everything he sells. Guess where I'm off to today:joyfull: There's also a quilt shop hop this summer for kids that James wants to do so we can do that on a few his non band days:joyfull: I also signed up my older ds for bowling which he missed out on last year due to our being away for so much of our summer. So between swimming on nice days, a few small jaunts, family functions and a large stack of books we'll have lots of fun on our staycation:joyfull::joyfull::joyfull:

Oh dear, I hope the migraine has gone by now.

As for computer issues at work, they plague us all. The other day I was staffing 3 meetings (it just happened to be an extremely busy day), and in all three of the various conference rooms I was using, none of the equipment was working properly. If it wasn't the LCD, it was the computer or vice versa.

Called in tech support for one of the rooms. The other two, I somehow managed to troubleshoot a bit, and with dumb luck, the systems finally kicked on. The main issue we have in such a huge organization where I work, is that too many people have their hands on the equipment. Especially the ones that bring in their own laptops (and don't know what they're doing), and just start disconnecting cables, etc. -- and "leave" it a spaghetti mess of pulled out wires and cables, for the next group that comes in. Then I need to quickly "attempt" to get everything up online again, on the conference room's pc to the LCD.

Very stressful . . . because, heaven forbid, each conference room's electronic equipment is set up the same. :rolleyes: (Why would they do something like that, that would make sense?) And I've never counted, but there has to be at least 35 different conference rooms all over the complex. :banghead:

Good grief! 35 conference rooms...?! :confused:
We're a firm of about 25 and only have 3. :)
Wait... :cyclops:

I always say that about shopping carts too. You take it out and it never goes back into the cart the same! lol Good luck with the suitcase. I am going to try to start and maybe finish mine this weekend. :rolleyes:

I have the kids and my stuff mostly packed. Haven't done the bag where we put all the swimming gear in yet, but that will be quick. Today was the last day of school so at least I will have a little more time in the mornings before we leave to finish up. Getting excited.:)

Completely underwhelmed by what we just saw from WDW... :bored:

Really? Hubby and I enjoyed it. He and I both have concerns that it might be a hub only show because of all the projections. But we enjoyed the music, projections, lasers and fireworks. I think that Wishes pulls more of an emotional punch but there were quite a few times watching this new show where I went "wow!" and that was just watching it on my tv so it have more of the WOW in person.

Ah I got ya - we just got back from dinner so I missed the live premier broadcast - I'll have to scope it out. So in other words, not a great replacement for Wishes... :(

Obviously, we haven' t seen it in person, yet, so we'll reserve final judgement for when that happens, but, from what we saw tonight, it was just basically a typical castle projection show combined with background fireworks.
So yes, definitely not an impressive replacement for Wishes, at least in OHO.
We expected much more. :cyclops:
