Side Job

This week my old copany (The Idea Factory) asked me to come back part time and help out with a pilot that they are trying to finish. The Post Super that they hired after I left was more a Post Producer and didn't really know much about the techie part of post. I agreed to help out as it's always good to make a little extra money. So for the next four weeks I'll be working two jobs and trying not to get even more stressed out then I have already been.

New Cell Phones

Today our new Cell Phones arrived... Harry and I both got the Samsung A737. Harry got a blue one and I got a lime green one. We have had our previous Motorola flip phones for about 3 years or so... It’s a very nice and cool looking cell phone... It will take a little time getting used to the new phone... and of course it wasn’t pre-activated, so we had to go online to activate the phones... but other than that they’re really great... Now comes the fun part of transferring all the information from the old to the new phones...

Here’s a quick overview of our new phones...

Finding Dad

Just got a call from my Uncle Wally asking me where my Dad is. I said.. where is my Dad.. he's at Corona Medical Center. Wally says he called there and was told that he was transfered to another hospital.. I was like WHAT... I knew he was going to another hospital for a procedure but wasn't told he was going to stay there. All I knew is that the hospital was in Anaheim. I called Corona Medical and asked where my Dad was and the first lady had not clue what I was talking about.. luckily I found another woman who told me he was transfered to Western Medical. So then I called Western Medical and after navigating there phone system I got the operator and asked about my Dad. She found him and told me to room and bed number and said she would transfer me. The phone rang and rang and rang.. I finally hung up figuring he was sleeping and called back so I could talk to the nurse to make sure everything was fine. Again navigaing the phone system and getting to the operator again, this time she transferred me to the nurse station and after talking to several different people got a hold of my Dad's nurse who said he was great and is awake and not sure why he didn't answer his phone.. she transfered me again and the phone rang and rang and finally my Dad picked up. I guess the phone was unplugged from the wall. Anyways after a half hour of phone play I was able to find my Dad and talk with him.. everything went well. It looks like he'll be heading home tomorrow.

Returning our Rent a Car

Today we finally returned the Rent a car.. two days longer then was planned but that couldn't be helped. It was strange driving the Jeep again after driving the Calibar. Calibar is low to the ground and has some major power. The Jeep is a much harder ride and the pick up power isn't the best.. still love my jeep but it was nice having a car again. I think once my Jeep is dead or I pass it off to Harry I'll get me a car again.

Visiting Dad

Today Harry and I went to the hospital to visit my Dad. He looked really good. He had IV's in both arms and a ton of machines hooked up to him but he was in good spirits. Of course he's tired of the hospital and wants to walk around but he's good. He get's taking tomorrow for a angio plastic (sp?) in another hospital in Aneheim. Then a few days later we find out if he will need a bypass or not. Here's hoping for the best.
