From Nurse Jones:
I'm getting oodles of notes from people that got incomplete parts of The
List. Here's what happened. Change the channel if you don't want to be
bored.
1) I sent parts 1 and 2 of 6 to Michael and Marc, two nice people, the
first polysyllabic didnwannafucks ever to talk to me using correctly
spelled words and smiley faces.
2) I couldn't send any more, I thought because our mainframe limited
file sizes, which it doesn't. The mailer has trouble with certain
character strings and the "experts" don't know what they are. Meanwhile,
people everywhere were writing to me about The List but it STILL didn't
show up on our local feed. I develop a conspiracy theory involving
whatzisname, the new director of the CIA and Billy Graham.
3) I chopped up 6 very big files into 12 smaller ones and tried sending
direct to wi-post, on the advice of one of about a hundred well-wishers
who knew more about my anonymous postings than I did.
4) I stopped getting wizmail and even my short notes didn't appear on
ASB. I thought the large file sizes had caused my wiz-alias to be
withdrawn. My conspiracy theory expands to include George Bush and
Clarence "L.D." Thomas.
5) I finally READ the wizstructions "...abuses will be dealt with
severely." Oh no! They DO care about the 30 line limit!
6) I panicked, naturally.
7) I wrote to wi-admin and apologized to everyone except Danny Quayle,
Orrin Hatch, and Senator Specter.
8) Parts of the two BIIIG files appeared. Stephie@wizvax told me to pull
myself together and stop whining, everything was OK and be patient.
There was a log jam somewhere called samsung. Relax and watch the
blinking lights.
8) Overcome with guilt, embarrasment, shame, and remorse, I resolved to
send a few files a day and be patient. This is so much fun, I got
excited, I guess. Just be glad you don't turn blue on my shift at the
hospital. Just kidding. I'm pretty cool when I know what I'm doing,
which I don't, yet, with computers.
So it should be: 1,1a,2,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14
BIG or small: B s B s s s s s s s s s s

I told you you'd be bored.
BIG files 1&2 = small files 1-4, various combinations of which may be "on
the floor" at samsung. I love it when Steph talks that way. On the floor.
BTW. Ooooh. IMHO there is romance in big computers, fluorescent lights and
white linoleum, power failures, spinning tape reels, vending machines, and
paper cups with cigarette butts floating in cold coffee. Don't ask me why,
but those were the good times...
The first time I saw him he was asleep at 3 in the morning with his head
down on the formica counter by a terminal, waiting for a batch to run. The
first time I kissed him he tasted like coffee and cheeze crackers.
Nurse Jones, feeling sentimental about something, but I'm not sure what.
