House News Update
We drove back to San Leandro last night, got to sit in stupid go nowhere Bay Area traffic, loaded up the dryer and rolled back home again. Now we have all of our first round of major appliances in, I'm hooking up the washer and dryer tonight and we'll be just about ready to start tackling the unpacking.

The fridge is huge, the washer and dryer are gorgeous front loading monsters that will make both of our lives so much simpler and better and it'll be just freakin' awesome. No more stealing quarters from the beer steins, no more running out to the laundry room to pull wet clothes out to stack for a trip to the laundromat to dry them all at once. It will be very, very nice! And everyone knows that gas dryers work better than electric.

Now we're waiting for the phone to finally work so that we have phone and dsl going. Cable takes up to two weeks to get started for some really, really stupid reason. I guess they don't really give a damn about customers who have moved and want cable in the new place. But whatever, we can definitely live with tv because there is plenty of other stuff to mash through.

And I still can't find my keys.

A New (Old?) Word to Add
I would guess that someone's already come up with this because its so simple but.....

enginerring - poorly thought out engineering that results in lots of mistakes and retries.
