I’ve been working at home for the past couple weeks.

They set me up with a loaner laptop from our IT department and I configured it for my uses (much to IT’s displeasure). Apparently, loaner laptops are to be used just as they are and come pre-loaded with everything they figure you need (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.). That’s all fine and dandy, but I’m doing coldfusion dev… so I need to add a few more things (IIS, ColdFusion Server, HomeSite, SQL Server, etc). Heh… I guess I’ll have to scrub it before I return it.

In other news: I’m screwed.

My neurosurgon wont return my primary physician’s phone calls, nor will he make an appointment to see me. My wife found several articles on the web about the procedure that I need done, one of them containing a picture of the device they need to install in my spine:

I need 3 of these… scary, eh?

I’m still on hold for the procedure… an estimated 2 years until the FDA approves it for multiple disk replacement. Great fun! Until then, I’m living the rock star lifestyle… without the sex or the rock and roll. Nothing says “superstar” quite like waking up and poping a hand full of pills (repeat every 4 – 6 hours). Wheeee!

Not much of a post, but then again, it beats nothign (and that’s what you were gonna get… so quit your bitching!).
