Moving offices at work

OK, last night I had a dream that we were moving offices. This actually mimics real life except in my dream, the offices were in Dallas. It seemed the office we were moving from was RTC, which was where I worked approximately 15 years ago. We seemed to be moving into a taller building which would be the type of building where the current "office" is now.

I was moving some things on my own. It was nighttime and the office was empty except someone was working late. In my office (which was an enclosed office, not a cubicle), there was a closet and dresser. In the dresser, I already had some clothes there, some clean and some dirty! I was wondering around the offices and discovered that the guy next to me is someone I know... so I was thinking I would be having lunch with him frequently.

Then I am not sure when it was but then it turned out I would be sharing my office with someone and it turned out to be Thomas S!

In another part of the dream, it seemed like I had to go somewhere, but for some reason, it seemed like I was trying to get to a different floor. Unfortunately, I don't remember too much else.

Stock options

Called today to get my password reset. Address they have on file is my home address. I also put in a limited sale order of $108 which would net only $26. Better $26 than nothing. Stock options expire in summer of 2010.

In addition, determined that reporting of incoming through stock option sales are handled through W2.

Cold?

It's amazing to me to see medical advice given by people who are not professionals. I was looking up whether or not people still advise to put people in cold baths in case of a fever. In general, you don't see that advice anymore, but you see people who say they shouldn't take hot baths either.

From http://www.seattlechildrens.org/child_health_safety/health_advice/fever.asp it suggests sponge baths starting at 90F and then raising the temperature of the water in case the child feels chills. It doesn't seem to warn against the temperature getting too high.

Also, from a cold's perspective, University of Illinois McKinley Health Center, http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/Handouts/colds_self_care_guide/colds_self_care_guide.html, says that baths may make you feel better and they don't give any warning about the temperature. If it would be a bad thing, I would think that they would provide warnings.

Making a photo look like a painting

Googling this!

Google has the tendency to remove duplicate pages. Therefore, using Blogger for the home pages has a fault that once Google finds the Blogger version of the home page, it may delete the reference to the home page itself.

So here's how I've set URL forwarding:

@ home.comcast.net/~japanese_tutor_in_texas/temp URL forwarding
www japanese-tutor.blogspot.com URL frame

Then in Google webmaster tools, I listed japanese-tutor.com (without the www) as a separate website for the home page for Japanese Tutor in Flower Mound.
