| Hey everyone. So I made a new blog thanks to google's purchase of blogger.
http://3n91n33r.blogspot.com/
This is my new blog address, and you don't have to be a member to comment, although I have the power to change that. There are no ads, much more flexibility, and seemingly unlimited space all for free that google is known for.

| Well I'm sitting in the parking lot of the Best Western hotel in Evanston Wyoming because this is the only place near my hotel room where I could get a strong enough wireless signal to VPN into motorola's network / surf the web. My internet settings on my work laptop are so screwy that in order to access the outside world I had to first RSA secure link into Motorola's intranet.
News briefs from Diane's Life:
1. Late last week we found out that it is time for my dad to have another radioactive Iodine scan to check the progress of his thyroid cancer / determine if it has spread or now is the time for followup lock-down radiation in Loyola's nuclear medicine department. Basically this means just like summer 2004 summer 2006 will be sucky. We have to revert to the iodine free, diabetic, low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. So, no soy, seafood, salt (unless it specifies sea salt explicitly), multi-vitamins, chicken broth containing chicken (salt), foods containing red food dye, etc. for the iodine stuff.
[Now I'm in Western Wyoming Community College (which doubles as the BP main offices, part of the University of Wyoming, part of the University of Utah, and a lifelong learning center - all in one small building, just proving there is nothing in Wyoming) borrowing their wireless access.]
2. I'm in Wyoming on business all week. Not too much to report. Nothing too exciting, just getting paid overtime and having work buy me steak dinners on expense accounts. | | |
| So, my mother decided we needed to add more personality to the trees in our yards at Whitewater and Downers Grove. The result?...
We now have Ents in our yard. My mom refused to get any of the scary looking ones though. She doesn't want to scare my little cousins. My mom is one of the only people I know who would decorate her trees to look like Ents. She rocks, really.
So on the diseases note, my dad went to see his new endocrinologist at the end of May, and we learned something we hadn't heard before about his cancer. Apparently my dad had undiagnosed thyroid disease before he got cancer. His body has lots of anti-bodies in it that attacked his thyroid. Not often, but in some cases, this disease causes cancer. The good news is it's now safe to assume my dad didn't develop cancer because he was exposed to radiation or anything. The bad thing is that although thyroid cancer is not genetic, thyroid disease, which can result in cancer is genetically inherited. This makes for one more thing that could harm me.... great.
I was totally thrown off on Friday when a guy I worked with told me, "Your boyfriend is a lucky bastard. If I wasn't married, I'd totally persue you." I told Kevin about that and he agreed with me. I'm not sure to take it as a compliment or if it's really creepy. On the positive side, I'll probably never see the guy again. It totally weirded me out though.

| I successfully managed to navigate through the labyrinth that is Motorola's corporate headquarters today and get myself back to the factory area without any help.  Jesus was like "Wow, you're ahead of me- that took me weeks." I was proud of myself. Then 5 minutes later Jesus was like "Hey do you think you could navigate back up to the iDen labs?" Really it's more impressive than it sounds considering my desk lives in Arlington Heights and I only just got security at Schaumberg to activate my RFID for that campus yesterday. Now I no longer need to sneak in  . Oh, and it helps that the gate now opens to let my car on the campus. I'm having a blast back at Motorola. I missed it, and with luck I could end up going to Hong Kong or Hawaii to run systems integration stuff for cell site commissioning. As long as I don't end up at Nextel labs in the middle of nowhere West Virginia and almost get attacked by a black bear- ha ha poor Rick. | | |
