Hello all! Well I am about 13 hours away from being in Cabo San Lucas! I am excited for some sun, fishing and r&r. I will be there starting tomorrow and will return on Saturday the 4th. We plan to go fishing for two days and hopefully this year I get the marlin that escaped me last year, I still have nightmares about that thing. Anyhow, I still have a few things to do before getting on that plane tomorrow.

I was on-call all of last week and am short on sleep, not to mention today I closed on my first house all by myself! I feel like a big boy now! It’s been a crazy few weeks for me so this is much needed and I plan to take full advantage of it.

I hope all is well with you and if you haven’t yet pitch in a few bucks for the March of Dimes!! Talk to you when I get back and I will throw up some pictures too!

UPDATE 4/28/2009:

Well least to say things have been busy since I got back from vacation. However here are the pictures I promised, and I had a great, relaxing, low key time. The only downside was that we didn’t even get a bite while fishing but I managed to catch enough sun rays to severly burn my skin. Enjoy the pictures!

Please help me raise my goal of $200 dollars for the March of Dimes and research for premature birth in babies. You can learn more by visiting my donation page:

Is it just me or do Fridays always turn out to be the busiest day of the week? Three weeks in a row it has been non-stop for at least eight hours and even more on some occasions. I haven’t even had a chance to work on anything I had planned to work on today in lieu of all the issues that have come up, just like last Friday and the Friday before that. The one advantage of this Friday versus the last is that I am not on call this week so once I leave today it is all over until Monday!

I just thought I would share since it seems as though there is some mysterious ether that decides to bring issue to the system on Friday’s. I am sure some of you might find this to be true in your line of work too, but it seems to be more prevalent in the Computer field.

One way to find out would be to forget Friday’s all together and make it US custom to have a 4 day work week, what do you think?

Today is the big day. 4th ranked Oklahoma versus 16th ranked Kansas. They are playing in Norman, Oklahoma and the Sooners are good, but I think everyone is in for a big suprise. They are giving up 20 points to another Big 12 team who is also 5-1? Hello!? These aren’t exactly the Buffaloes we are talking about here people.

I bet you are also wondering what in the hell I am doing up blogging about this at 7:45 in the morning on a Saturday? That is a good question and the answer is I have been up virtually all night. I was awake until about 2am working on assorted things, relaxing, since it was Friday night. It was my own fault staying up that late especially since I am on-call all week. Monday-Thursday were fine, maybe a call here and there but nothing I couldn’t fix relatively quick and be back in bed. Not tonight. The issue at 3am has kept me up since then and it is all I can do to just keep my eyes open.

Anyhow, we will just chalk this post up to the need for a rant and call it even since there really was no content, or knowledge passed along in this post. Aside from all that… Rock Chalk!
