I picked up Brokeback Mountain on DVD today. I'm so happy, I love this movie so much. I went to a theatre in the city (a 2 hr drive one way) over xmas break to see it because I didn't want to wait til later in January for a theatre closer to me. If you haven't seen the movie there're spoilers in here

( spoilers here )


Tech Guy was in today and trying to get the printer counter software to work and he still can't. He's gonna have to get K to come up and help him--K is good at network stuff like that. Of course, every time TG came in to check the printer and it didn't work, I laughed...Not really hard or anything but it was funny. Heh. (We've got a colour laser printer and before he sets it up for teachers to use, the PHP wants counter software to limit printing because of cost.) Had to laugh TG came in and told me I had $110 for printouts (each printout =$1) I was like "Hey, cool. I was only supposed to get 20 copies." He said he'd cover it by saying I was the one who had to keep testing the printer to see if it worked. I looked at him and laughed and said, "Like we have to tell the principal." She'd never ask.

Still have not succeeded in going a full day without interacting with her. I've come close a couple of times...but she'll speak to me in the hallway or come in and ask for something. *sigh* And really, I won't count it if she's not there.

The Resource Teacher brought the yearbook stuff down to me, so I'll be immersed in getting that set up on the computer. I've got the class pics done with the lists of who the kids are in each. I've got those out to the teachers asking them to double check that I go the right name with each kid and that spellings are right. Before I was involved, they'd have to list the kids. But I know the names of all of the kids. Now, some of the primaries, I don't know their last names... but I have class lists. I'm doing all the computer related work--graphics and typing; sounds like a lot but it's really only about 80 pages or so and not really difficult. And I enjoy doing it. I also look after the cash for yearbook sales--it's surprising how many teachers are afraid to handle money or be responsible for it! I worked in my parents corner store as a kid/teenager so it doesn't bother me.

Tomorrow is Friday, thank goodness. I think I'll try and get all the Yearbook stuff done that I have. Then it should only take a couple more afternoons or mornings to finish it up. Yay.

Tonight I was having trouble loading gmail on my opera browser. It wouldn't load, wouldn't load, but it would load in IE. So, I googled the problem and one of the solutions was to clear the cache. So, I did and gmail worked again, and, lo and behold, my little mood icons on LJ are working again!! *head:desk*

I do love opera (the browser, not the music). I even use it at work. One day, Tech Guy was in the library and getting me to log in to the email admin (I have admin rights to the email and some admin rights on the server) which is web based. When I clicked on the link, it popped up the password box, which looks quite different in opera than IE. He was all like, "What's that?" I laughed and said Opera. He just shook his head. He knows I'm the techie sort. When I got my new comp last year, it had MSN messenger on it, which is only semi-allowed. Well, he had to take the comp back, and because I'd mentioned it, he took it off. But that was okay, cus while I couldn't get into the msn site (it's blocked board wide) I did find the page for our isps msn connected page. And I was able to d/l msnger from there. I don't use it during the work day, but if I'm staying through for an evening event, I'll use it after school hours. *shrug* I didn't tell Tech Guy I d/l it again, but he's worked on my comp since and hasn't said anything. *G*

I'm glad I know what to do now to fix the gmail and animated gifs problem.
