Doing much better today. Except when I checked my mail. I got a notice saying my health and dental insurance is going up starting in January by $5.00 a month. I know this may not sound like a lot. But, add that to the $6.00 a month auto insurance increase and you see a trend. All the while my pay is not increasing. Oh well, that is the way things go.

Been lazy all this weekend. Recuperating. Still no more pain pills. Might be able to shave a week off of sick leave and comeback next Monday, the 7th. Also, got some bad news about a job I applied for. Did not get it. Looks like I am locked in at my current employer for another 12 years and 5 months.

Feeling better today. No pain pills in the last 12 hours. I think my website is all done at this point only thinking of adding one thing and it will probably not be until a little later.

Feeling better. Still a little loopy. Have made some updates to the website since I have a little time. Can anyone find them? Let's see. Added a new feature have been wanting to add for a few months now. Going on the weekend. Hope everyone has a good one. My turn on the web cam this weekend. Depends on how I am feeling.

I can now post via my cell. This should provide fresher content.

Well I think I have all the kinks out of the new mitchell-report problems. Let me know?

I am now testing the blog to mitchell-report link. Let me know if any subscribers get it. Thanks

I am doing better. Still a little loopy. Since I have a little time have added a couple of new things to the web site. Can you find them? Let me know what you think.

Surgery went well. I am groggy still and have a slight headache. But, everything went better than planned.

Tomorrow is the big day. I have to be at the hospital by 6:15 AM. Also, my address site of Michael@michaelleemitchell.net is up and running.

Today was actually not a bad day at work. I got everything I wanted to accomplished done. Two days to go to the day of surgery. I did get some bad news on the financial front. My car insurance is going up $6.00 a month. That may not matter to most people and seem a lot. But, everything is going up a little here and there. Everything except my paycheck. Why is it when you think you are 2 steps ahead it actually turns out to be one step behind? Tomorrow is my friend Krystal's Birthday. Happy Birthday Krystal!

Some of the new TV Season started this week. 7th Heaven was excellent. A new series on WB called Everwood was excellent. Enterprise season premiere was excellent. So far looks like a good TV viewing season. Had a big disappointment this weekend, Jason was kicked out of the Big Brother 3 house. Saw Clockstoppers last week, excellent movie. Back to work tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday big surgery day...... Well that is it for now. My web address of michaelleemitchell.net still not up yet. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday.

Why do I have to be so mistreated? I was called back to work unfairly on my day off and suppose extended weekend. Why you ask?, For what I call over reaction to a situation that could have been easily explained to everyone (blowing up a minor fire into a raging inferno). Well, I am totally hoping I find and get a new job by the end of the year. I can't take this one anymore. I am just like a robot. I go to work only out of necessity (pay bills).

Well, I got the SonicBlue ReplayTV yesterday. So far I have to say TIVO is better. TIVO implements it's system in a more user friendly way. SonicBlue is not a bad company. The ReplayTV does have 3 things I really like. Such as, Ethernet connection to update instead of telephone line, automatically skips commercial when viewing recorded material and can program to record a show from the Internet so don't have to be home. But, if I had to recommend a PVR/DVR to someone I have to say I like the TIVO better.

Hello everyone, First of all I have made some bad financial choices in the past couple of weeks. I purchased a real web site (or at least I thought) from Web Extreme it costs me $157.00 dollars and after the first year it would have been $132.00. I had a minor problem at first and this was miss communication. Then I developed a big problem. I could receive e-mail but not send via my e-mail program. I tried to contact technical support and no support. They are supposed to have a 30 day money back guarantee less the $25.00 setup fee. Well, I choose to cancel. I have been trying to get my money back and have the account cancel for a week. I even found a telephone number for the supposed administrator. Well still no luck it seems I am out my money. Lesson learned. I have transfer back my Michael@michaelleemitchell.net e-mail address back to Yahoo!. Hopefulley it will be available again in about 4 days. That cost me an additional $10.00. Lesson learned if I do get a real full pledge w...

Well, I have surgery on the 26th of September. I will be out of work for 2 weeks. I go for my pre-op stuff on the 19th. I sold my laptop and my TIVO. I bought a SonicBlue ReplayTV. I hope it will be in this week. Watched a couple of pretty good movies last week. Hart's War and Black Hawk Down. Both were good. I am going to watch Clock Stoppers either today or tomorrow. I am also trying to pull something off big time with my website but it might be a couple of weeks in the works. Stay tuned.

Happy Labor Day! The day that all of us working stiffs get to rest. Well, not me. I had to work until 7 AM this morning. But, I have the rest of today off and tomorrow. Big things in the works for the next month or two. Can't explain right now. But, hopefully soon.
