My daughter has blowing bubbles down pat, is pretty good at sticking her tongue out as a greeting and is on the verge of understanding why you would even want to roll all the way over (rolling onto her side is not a problem for sleeping comfort).

I use the first three on that list every day.
IE is required for some work web based programs.
Firefox for personal stuff, like this site on my work PC.
Chrome for my work email and Google apps.
In fact I have all three up right now.
At home I use FF mostly. I use Tab Mix Plus and love it. Don't think I can set the same behaviors in Chrome.

Has anyone read the 'Kingdom for Sale' series. I actually bought it a little while ago as the whole thing was in the clearance bin at a resaler. I was thinking about reading it next, but I also recently obtained some David Eddings books that might be next (guy at work was trying to unload some old books, so he just gave them to me). Any recommendations between these two series?
which Eddings series? He has a few. Kingdom for Sale wasn't bad, I enjoyed the Belgariad/Ellorean (sp?) series from Eddings more. Neither ones are very deep reads

Thanks for the thoughtful review, I think I'll pass on them for now. If I see them in used paperwork store or yard sale for real cheap I'll grab them then.
It was just one of those series that I always saw in the store and never got and then it was gone.

I've been meaning to ask Demo how are those books? I never got around to reading them when they were in print but I can pick them up now for my Kindle. Worth $5 each? I liked his Incarnations of Immortality stuff, Xanth novels were okay, fun quick reads if I remember correctly.

Catching up by adding a bunch, the short stories by Jack London are actually pretty enjoyable compared to some of his novels. Almost done with Mr. London and then I have the works of Mark Twain and some SF to catch up on

Where I work now, the academic world, it's really flexible but mostly centers around "if your boss knows and the work is getting done you're probably fine"
When I worked in manufacturing I had a plant manager who if you showed up late for a meeting you had to put a dollar in the office coffee pool kitty. If you punched in more than 5 min late you got docked 15 min, more than 1/2 hr without calling in you go home without pay, three strikes (in a year I think) you're fired. Not to mention you wouldn't get any raises if you were consistently later/borderline late.
Me I've cultivated a come in before anyone else policy, I'm a morning person anyway so I run/walk my dogs, come in before traffic is bad, get a better parking space and before anyone else gets in I've had my coffee and got a leg up on my email. The advantage here is no one really knows how early I'm in. Just that I got there before them, and look I've responded to emails so I must have been there a while. Then on the other end of the day I leave a 1/2 hr early.
