half sick day
by Ti Leggett 27 May '10

27 May '10

I went over my handle bars doing about 20 biking in. I'm banged up and sore, but ok. My hands got the brunt of it and they're tight and it's hard to type so I'm going to take a half sick day to recover. Still reachable on my cell though.

I am feeling very "pukey" for some reason. I felt slightly this way yesterday but thought it was just anxiousness w/ Vinnie's graduation and the stuff I needed to take care of. But today it is worse, I can't even make the coffee cause the thought of it is making me sick to my stomach. You know I am not feeling well when I don't/can't even drink my morning coffee. I am going to take a sick day and go back to bed and hopefully this will pass without incident. T.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 JP Navarro said there was a package in his office from Datadirect and doesn't think it should be for him. Anyone want to claim it?

Re: kiosk for Chu's visit

The mounting brackets are in the storage room. They have not yet been unboxed. The big kiosks are in the back part of the machine room. On top of the nec monitors. beth cerny <bcerny(a)mcs.anl.gov> wrote: Hi Craig, Mike Jackson needs to know the height of the monitor to the center and needs a mounting bracket so that he knows where to put the electrical outlet. Is there someone in Systems that can pull out a machine so that he can take the measurement and get a bracket? Thanks, Beth
