HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

I asked several of our locals if Valentine's Day is celebrated in Iraq and it is! I guess tradition is, if you are with someone - you wear all red for Valentine's Day and men and women exchange roses. Mike and I aren't celebrating the day this year. There really isn't an opportunity to do so without planning far in advance. We can't light candles in our room, there aren't any fancy restaurants or movie theatres or flower shops - so just another day it is. :D No biggie - it's a Hallmark Holiday anyway.

I ended up revising the Bucket chart today because the person who creates the reports corrected her original with updated information. Fortunately, this time the number worked out so I didn't have to spend all day doing it. I also managed to figure out what I was doing wrong with the Program Dollars. I had been double counting some numbers, unintentionally. Last problem of late is still leaving me defeated. I need to figure out how to pass a variable into an imbedded Case Statement and nothing I try seems to work. I'll keep trying though!

Mike had to do a Rhino run last night so he decided to just go to work right away rather than go back to bed. He ended up getting to work by 3am and he worked till 4:30pm. (CRAZY!) He left early because his brain was fried - I can imagine!

Mmmm...It seems like our numbers doubled around here. Maria came back from R&R and with her she brought her replacement (Both from a different Sector). We also had our father and son team, Tommy and Ryan, come back from their R&Rs, so our crowd at the lunch table nearly doubled. It was amusing listening to the different horror stories of coming in and out. Ryan lost all of his paper tickets for the flights and Maria spent five hours on a military plane in the middle of a lightning storm only to end up back where they started! Guess I'm not the only who's bad luck to fly with!

Hmm..Last but not least, I changed my Amazon order for a PHP book. After thinking about it, I wanted a book that focused differently than the one I ordered. (For those who don't know, PHP is a programming language that combines C++/SQL/HTML together to create web pages - we use it to automate our reports to the web. That way, when someone needs a report, they can go online, click on the report they need and it'll generate it, on the spot, using the variables they designate. Kinda cool - it'll be good to know how to do it)

Guess I better get back to working on the seemingly impossible!
