Feb 25th - March 2, 2011 - 78th through 83rd Day

So I haven't written in here for a few days.  There's a reason.  I got mad on the 79th day.  I actually got upset at one of my kids, actually quite upset.  No, I didn't throw anything or have steam come out of my head, by I raised my voice a lot.  I tried to remain calm at first, but one of my children was not being nice to my wife so I was not happy.   Anyway, I shouldn't have yelled, so I had to repent and start my quest for kindness all over again.  It seems like I make it 30 days or so, then I have an episode.  I think I must be like an angerleptic.  That's kind of like an epileptic who has seizures, I just have anger seizures.  It made for a hard day, because then I felt bad the rest of the day.  However, BYU beat SDSU by 13 points, and so now they are ranked 3rd in the country, so that made me feel a little better. Oh, I forgot to mention, a few weeks ago, one of the companies on our software wrote me an email and told me that they originally bought 7 users, and so we were billing them for maintenance for 7 users, however, they said they are now only using 3, so they only wanted to pay maintenance for three users.  I had my tech guy log in over a two week period and they were never using less than 9 users!  So, I sent them an email and said, "What's going on?"  They immediately sent me the check for maintenance for the 7 users.  My brother was so mad that they tried to rip us off, that he billed them for the additional 2 users they were using, plus maintenance.  So, dishonesty didn't work out too well for them!  I'll keep you posted, it should get juicy!

Then Sunday came, and it was nice, because I had a great day and I made up with my child.   Monday and Tuesday were pretty uneventful, but it was nice to hang out with my kids and wife and watch "Megamind" and a little TV.  It's funny, my kids always want me to watch TV with them now because we installed a thing called "BOB" on our TV set.  They have to put in their password, and they only get a certain amount of TV a day.  So, they always want me to come down and watch TV with them, because then they have me put in my password, and it doesn't take up any of their TV time.  So, BOB is my friend, but my kids hate BOB.  Wednesday I was finally able to go for a bike ride with Kerry, it's been 3 weeks because I've been sick.  I think it's now time to watch American Idol and relax!
