Good morning! Yesterday started out looking great. I had a light schedule & thought I was FINALLY going to make a business meeting at the station. BAHAHA! Yeah, right. Every time I get my hopes up, something turns upside-down on me. As I said though, it started out great. I got the mail, made an Eggo for breakfast, & then the job hit. Outlook 2010 e-mail setup of 6 accounts. Each account being on a different server. The whole thing took 9 hours. Needless to say, I didn't make the FD meeting. I didn't finish the job until 10:p. Now the whole job didn't take that long, although it did take most of it. The last little bit was me setting up my own e-mail accounts since I had just become a bit of an expert for the day. I figured while the information is all fresh in my mind, I'd go ahead & set up my own Outlook 2010 to pick up ALL of my mail accounts. All 5 of them: LizC864@AOL.com, LizC864@Gmail.com, LizC864@iCloud.com, Liz@LowryCrossingFire.org, & finally LizC864@Outlook.com. Each e-mail address has it's own purpose. AOL is being problematic because there are SO many e-mails in that account that it still hasn't finished syncing the folders. It keeps trying, but it keeps timing out. There are YEARS of saved e-mails in sub-folders in that account & so far all it's been able to do is download all the mail in my inbox. The rest hasn't been able to complete yet. Outlook.com is causing a problem because for some reason I can't send mail. I finished the whole job just before Pete got home & didn't have time to do anything else, which was fine because my head felt like it was going to explode. Yesterday's Sims game was Exmoor & my Sim Daniel who's still a teen has been going to school & doing homework. In fact that's ALL he did yesterday because I ended up working for 9 hours & didn't have a chance to get much Sims time in. At least the pay is good ... $95/hr for e-mail work once you master it & can charge full price for it. I do believe after yesterday that I'm almost there! Too bad I HATE setting up e-mail. It BETTER pay well! Today I've taken the dogs out & started up a brand new Sims game. This game is going to be my Art Appraiser game. A new career field that was introduced w/ University Life. To become an Art Appraiser, a Sim must go to the university, max out his affiliation w/ the correct social group, & the this new career will be offered. As they say, it's not always what you know, but sometimes more of WHO you know. My Sim is Lewis (1st gen). He's got all the traits that were useful towards the fine arts degree ... artistic, avant garde, natural cook, savvy sculptor, & star quality. His lifetime wish is to be a descendant of da Vinci (since they forgot to add a lifetime wish for the Art Appraiser career). Lewis likes dim sum, custom music, & the color yellow. He's a Taurus. His furry companion is Danny. An Italian Greyhound who's skittish, noisy, & lazy. Lewis bought a cute little unfurnished home in Appaloosa plains (pic) & then headed off to the university on an apprentice fine arts award. Kyle's court date is tomorrow & since Pete is taking off work, they're going to also take care of all the school stuff Kyle's been needing to do at the high school & the college which is going to take about 4 hours.

Please, that's - that's very nice of you. But let's be honest. I can't marry you all. Though sometimes I think I did.

Public Victory doesn't mean victory over other people. It means success in effective interaction that brings mutually beneficial results to everyone involved. Public Victory means working together, communicating together, & making things happen together that even the same people couldn't make happen by working independently.
