Tuesday afternoon

The day is clearing up a bit.

Kristina called. She wanted to know who's voice was on Angelina's cell phone recording. It was Jonny's voice of course. Well Krisitina also wanted Jonny's home number. Then Angelina called. She wanted to know why Kristina was calling her?

Angelina hurt her ankle. She is going to put some ice on it.

Jonny is wrestling with Oracle and PL/SQL. Don't forget to use

SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('12-SEP-96', 'DD-MON-RR'), 'YYYYMMDD') FROM DUAL;

instead of

SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('12-SEP-96', 'DD-MON-YY'), 'YYYYMMDD') FROM DUAL;

The first one gives the results desired, 19960912, the second doesn't. It assumes that the missing century is the century the programmer is in, which is 2000. Thus it returns 20960912. But the consult happened in 1996 not in 2096.

Jonny has to prepare to request classes to teach for next semester already. He is just getting used to this semester.

Some of his plants are dying, here at the Hilton.

Angelina is complaining only after two weeks of working in the flu clinic. Her complaint is that there is no work schedule in place, yet.
