Computer Crash Knocked Me Out

Not the first time a hard drive has quit on me. Luckly, I do back up. So I only lost 2 weeks of email and about 1 hour worth of web updates. I do wish I could have uploaded the updates. I had entered about 7 new restaurants. Now I will have to go back and rewrite them. Problem is I don’t remember my user name and password for my FTP. So I am waiting for my provider to help me out. Pretty stupid backing everything up except your passwords.

Last few weeks have been pretty busy (and ‘yes’ I do not have full time job yet). It is strange how you can be busy when your not even working. I have had interviews, but lost the jobs due to my experience. Maybe I need to dumb down my resume. I did get a part time job twice a week teaching adults English conversation. It is very fun, but not what I am looking to do for a living. Still looking for a job that can utilize me. I have rumors a job may be available for me soon. I keep my fingers crossed. In the meantime I will look for a summer teaching position here.

Been traveling on the weekend with Esther and Jasper. Been exploring nearby mountains and the natural beauty they offer. Went in the mountain in Wulai to visit a camping resort. Maybe resort is not the right word. But Jasper had fun playing with a frog and crab in the pool. From there we visited the city of Wulai. Did not see the famous Wulai Waterfall, due to the train being under repair and Jasper throwing up in the car. Guess he drank too much pearl-tea-milk and the mountain driving did him in. Two weekends ago I traveled with Jasper and his school (Esther had to work) to the “Golden Egg” chicken farm. I forgot the mountain name, but that is okay, because it seems that none of the Taiwanese knew the mountain name either. Jasper played with little chicks, saw way too many hens, and visited some sickly looking ostrichs. He had fun with the arts and crafts they offer. You get to paint eggs plus you get to play in clay-like-mud to make 100-year eggs. If you like egg art you should go or if you have little children. Otherwise the Golden-Egg will disappoint.
