Final day…. this time? :-)
Well, to be fair, we were told that Thursday was our final day. This morning, however, Uncle Joe called and asked if we would be able to still make it in the afternoon because some parts arrived, and they would be able to still use our help today.
So we ended up working the 10th day, which, really, I had no problem with. I did the same thing as I did yesterday, only today I did 1,404 pieces instead of yesterday’s 1,010. 
I got quite a bit faster!
Now, we are really finished. In fact, in three minutes, the midnight buzzer should be sounding at the shop, and Paul and John will be off and ready to head on home. And we have the weekend here! And… lots of deposition work to do, it seems! But that’s a very good thing, to have work to do.
Prior to working this afternoon, I spent a bit of time troubleshooting Dad’s laptop. It appears that his hard drive is going south. I don’t think any important data will be lost, thanks to us backing up files when the computer first showed symptoms of being sick. The actual hard drive replacement is really easy to do, but since it’s under the warranty we might have to send the computer in to get the drive replaced.
I’m going to try to call them to see if there’s an exception that can be made, whereby I could put the hard drive in myself. It would take me, like, five minutes to do, and it would mean that we don’t have to ship the laptop off for a couple of weeks. So I’m hoping that will work out.
Guys, I’m still typing on this e-fatuation thing. To be honest, though, I’m not real happy with how it’s turning out up to this point. 
I know precisely what my thoughts and feelings are; it’s just hard to type it all out. Maybe I’ll just scrap it and start over. Or maybe (hopefully!) I’ll be able to salvage this. We shall see.
Saturday is a very special day, as it’s Mom’s birthday and David’s third birthday! Chub is growing up.
