Middle America's Worldview

Wednesday night already and it's getting late. I am not on-call but one of the facilities is doing a lab datamove onto a new server. Since I am over lab now, I am having to change to the new IP's and then wait to turn them on. 2 down (HSS lab and Quest((results, adt, ect))), one more to go. The lady I am working with will call me back in about 30 minutes. Hopefully will be done in time for me to watch Orielly at 10 p.m. : )

I have been asked to call some known Republicans basically reminding them Nov. 2 is the date to vote and asking them to please go vote on this important election. Not that you would have to be living under a rock or in a cave to not know this by now. But I am doing it regardless. It's my feeling of contribution and maybe some of these people need reminding. I find it interesting, because I didn't feel uncomfortable calling vendors for donation to a cause, like our PTA for school. But I do feel a bit of uneasiness to call people and ask them to go vote. Can't explain why, but I just get the feeling of speaking to a vendor, I actually have a purpose for the call. Rather when I remind then ask them to go vote, I don't feel like there is a result or goal in mind. OH well. Some have simply hung up on me, some have said I am going to vote -lets leave it at that (whatever that means), and some actually asked certain questions of the candidates. I guess they wanted to know if I am some lackey or actually have a clue.

My son went to the pediatrician doctor for a follow-up and according to my wife, it didn't go as bad as expected. Basically the interesting part I found was the doctor agreed he had a milk alergy and noted it in his chart. But didn't agree it could be the result of his staring out spells. However, she couldn't explain why the dramatic result (his improvement) either though. It sounded like a lot of non-believers. Yes, they see the result but really can't accept the result. I understand the Doc's fear of parents using alternate medicine. It's basically having a kid coming in burning with temp from 4 days of the parents trying to do a chicken dance to cure the evil spirits inhabiting the kids body. But like I told Kelli, she (the doc) should be able to view each parents common sense individually. Let's face it, there are some people having kids, that are not nor ever will be actual parents.

I said, I won my first bid on ebay yesterday. My paypal came into effect today. But this chic had only cashiers check or money order as payment. Well there's my first lesson to look. I was assuming everyone was on the paypal bandwagon by now. Oh well. I will acquire one tomorrow and send it out to her. I already emailed her twice on it notifying her.

We are suppose to be getting rain in this weekend. I hope we do, we need it.
