Two things: First, when I was removing the temporarily installed hard drive from my computer, I figured out why the on-board soundcard wasn’t working in my new case. I won’t go into details, but it all started with the following thought: “Hey, why isn’t this cable plugged in to anything?”
Secondly, the concept of inertia has once again kept me from leaving Yahoo!. Not only is my primary contract extended for a month because of loose ends that haven’t been tied up yet, but another full-time contract may be lined up after that. So, even though more and more people I know are leaving (including employee #8, the VP who originally hired me almost exactly six years ago), I just can’t leave this place… and it’s not necessarily a bad thing. (Even if all the drivers in the cars are morons.)
