The curly fries were not necessary

They were, however, very good. There is a subsidized cafeteria run by an evil workers comp insurance company. The cafeteria is not evil, in fact quite good. You can have a Niman Ranch burger with cheese on a soft sesame bun for $3.50, really, real cheese, real meat, real bread. Michael Pollan may actually approve. I like Michael Pollan, maybe he states the obvious but he does it from a refreshing pespective which gives cause for pause and thought. His message sinks in.
So burger, with Swiss, curly fries, salad...full.

"Microsoft Office Access 2007 has been successfully installed" This happened only after I had to Google a .cab file called SKU111. What they neglect to tell you during the installation is that you have in insert your previous installation disk (it does say source) but thankfully some geek out there had posted a solution to this annoyance.

One of the two reasons for installing this today is that I have a query that is troublesome. Here is the trouble: I am summing a rows value from four tables into a new table that contains the values from those four tables and the sum, across the rows. The query seems to go well until it is almost complete, as it is cranking (there 105K records) it displays the new/calculated values but when it finishes, all values change to NAME. Now, NAME usually indicates a type error or a calculation error (going with type in this case). It is now just sitting there, crashing.
