Usually, they don’t do “paws up” in quite that way, but we’ll take it. Wednesday: Stuff was reasonably normal at work, but there was no Rock Band. Steve apparently had to work late, and Stephanie didn’t really want to rock out without Steve, so all I ended up doing was eating dinner and reading some. [...]

There wasn’t really that much exciting going on on Tuesday. There was an accident or something on I-10. This made me about 20 minutes late for work. At least nothing really important had happened in those 20 minutes. Work was relatively ordinary, except that someone accidentally unplugged the secondary NIC on an important box. I [...]

Sunday: The big excitement was going out with Stephanie, Dan, Andrina, and Zach to the rifle range. It was pretty crowded. I set the dead hard disk at 200 yards, but nobody hit it. “You were getting pretty close. You were either up and right or down and left every time, though,” Zach said after [...]

Tons of stuff going on, so much that I haven’t written an update in a while. Anyway. Wednesday, we had Rock Band 3 and Chinese food at Stephanie’s house instead of my house. Joy and Steve were there, and it all worked out fairly well. Thursday, it was Stephanie’s birthday, so a whole bunch of [...]

Tuesday had some unexpected good news. Apparently, one of the guys who thought he was leaving for another company has changed his mind and is staying. This will make a lot of things a lot easier for us, at least for the next few months. This doesn’t mean I’m out of the woods. I got [...]

Arr, ye scurvy dogs, it be Talk Like A Pirate Day! Set back, we’ll be keelhaulin’ the politicians and the bankers momentarily. Not that much actually happened on Monday, though. I found a huge mess of data in the master DB that isn’t being used and doesn’t need to be there, so getting rid of [...]

Friday: heard that a couple of the senior people upstairs have had it with the complete idiocy from corporate, and are leaving for greener pastures. This is great for them. This will be a total pain for those of us who are left. So this wasn’t particularly fun or exciting. No idea how much fallout [...]

Wednesday, I woke up and saw all sorts of stupid happening with a couple of machines at work while I was trying to eat breakfast. Had to log in and fix everything, and also had to take the late bus. Fortunately, we figured out a way to keep that particular problem from happening later that [...]

Last night, right before I was going to hit the sack, I got a trouble ticket. It only took about 20 minutes to fix, but it was still annoying. It rained on Tuesday afternoon for a while, which is always nice to see. Tuesday had a bunch of regular work stuff, with some more fiddling [...]

Sunday, the really big thing was going to the baseball game with Stephanie. We got slightly better seats than usual this time, because the cheaper seats we usually get weren’t available. But what the heck. We took the rail to the game, and the train was totally full—we had to stand up for some of [...]
