Work again! :-) Still as much pleasant. We had a staff meeting today and thank God it didn't sound like library admin meetings etc. - everything is more alive and the need for those staff-meetings can be sensed. I was given few tasks, we discussed some things, including transferring Tatiana Borisovna's files to one of Pentium computers and giving Pentium II to me (it has as much memory but working much faster!) - it was OK.

The only thing that bothered me very much is the abscence of the pocket and of the possibility to buy it soon - I feel too lazy to open computers again and connect temporarily through the IDE-cable and transfer installations... :-(

I was talking to Polina again but seems, not the price of 15 dollars but the principle of a computer device puts it on another budget level and thus requires serious proofs. Well, if you think of it, you'll see as I doo that it's mostly me who needs this device. Polina said we can buy CDs and she's right. I need the pocket for taking my and work files with me... Well, perhaps I should buy such a thing for myself? It would be only honest and then, after it I could have the pair to my pocket anywhere I come to work... because later there will be no more such constructions - you know the pockets are all different... Well, it's a big question!

I've got a letter from N-brother and his news are not very good - he talked to his bride same day as wtith me but after me and she was still upset, but he hopes to talk with her on weekend and he's still optimistic about my visit. Well, honestly I got angry and wrote him that I think if she's still upset, it must be serious and then I don't want to kind of beg for her welcome even if he does that for me. Of course, I'm upset too. And I actually think that the disrespect and insincerity of welcome she showed me were true... What can I say? The good side in it is that she couldn't fake friendship too long - I'm proud that people can't be fake for long with me.

Of course, it is very sad and more than sad if we can't have normal relationship with her because she's the future wife of my brother and I thought all the time that it'll make easier to me to continue close relationships with my bro if I communicate with her directly too. But what can I do if she's insincere? Only be sorry for my bro and hope that she'll be good to him and don't ever try to smartly (for she is very smart, she showed some psychology knowledge once!) break our relationships... But what can I do?

I went out to look for batteries for fax memory and a better plug for the new wireless phone. I found them soon, also found a connector for myself from 2 VHS tulip sockets to a little finger socket for my triple VCR-computer cable.

I have found a pocket like mine in the same super-store as everything else and was going around very long, trying to decide... I even thought that if I find shoes for 30 dollars, I can exchange all my left 50... (It became obvious I can't go around everyday on such high heels, but for now mom gave my old boots for fixing and today it's cold thankfully and I'm in winter-shoes) There was no shoes... I failed to cancel buying it, but suddenly I imagined a situation when I'm going in half a year, let's say, to another job and there can be no talk about buying a pocket and there are no more such pockets in stores... God I could then regret I haven't had this one now!.... And although there was a thought - what if my bro is right and I'll go to Saint-Petersburg (Peter) and then what if I don't have more money before the trip???

The two fears were figghting in me for quite some time, and finally... I BTOUGHT it! Also a Photoshop 5.5 CD. I have a pair for my pocket now (for the drive to be cared in the case, not taking it out), woo-hoo! :-)

Well, I'm quite proud and happy now that I have this pocket. I decided to exchange it with home one because my old is missing the clsoing panel now what is not looking nice and there is more dust at my home than at the office where it's cleaned every day...

The only imperfect thing is that Photoshop 5.5 I was looking for for Image ready 2.0 integration I heard about came out to be installed in Russian and then I could English-convert it... But in both forms it was loosing my registration info... I just don't like it, that's why I like more kygenerators :-) Also, when it could be done normal, why to have cracked versions? OK, I removed the Photoshop 5.5 and decided to try it at work if I don't find a normal english version. I don't like this serial info abscence bug to the point I tried to find by debuggers how to replace the info contained in cracked file but didn't found - it's obviously simply Photoshp.exe from the installation for the reg data to be only entered yet!

Well, people from Kiev didn't call me back for confirming me their invitation to visit their office today. But I go to work tomorrow because Tatiana Borisovna won't be there and I count to setup both puters for 98th and exchange the information among them to take Pentium II, for more that on Monday my table should arrive.

We were at the TeNet today to order a cable placing from our HUB to the corner where I'll sit. Although at the staff meeting Polina said and we agreed that we want one computer for public use of our Alumni, so that means a cable should be placed in another place too. They didn't came anyway today. But I forgot at home my mail password and asked them for a new one. I have to create my profile for now at Pentium II because I had to send my introduction letter to the common mailing list. Well, I did so, not very formally (Polina said it's not necessary, formalities).

It was a pretty good day... may be I describe my days too long... Have to try again to learn to be shorter! :-)

Yawn! Good night!
