Day: July 14, 2003

I’m not even gonna go into what happened tonight. For one thing, it’s embarrassing. For another, just thinking about it long enough to write it all down will really piss me off even more. Needless to say, I screwed myself tonight. Technically, Mike and Lisa were involved in the process also, but I can’t help but feel like it’s primarily my responsibility. I don’t even care about the money, it comes down to the fact that I should have known better. There was absolutely no reason for it to happen, but it did. I’ll get over it easily, but for now I’ve got quite a bitter taste in my mouth. And on top of all of that, I came home to find a bug in my glass of Herradura Tequila. Thhpppttt! 😛

So Thursday was a surprise bridal party for one of my co-workers. We chipped in a few bucks, and had ourselves a BBQ. Since it was crappy outside, we ate inside. But it marks another milestone in my life – the first time I’ve had a beer at work during office hours. Seriously, Nozer brought some Coors and I popped a top while munching on some dogs. Very cool. Even better yet, there were some leftovers on Friday, so Stan (the maintenance guy) dragged the grill out again and we had ourselves a picnic in the back of the warehouse area. I think I like it here.

On a sillier note, I actually drove up to our production facility to troubleshoot why some computers weren’t working properly after a power failure. The main problem turned out to be that we never actually got to the “after a power failure” stage. When nobody understands what is actually on battery backup, it makes it very difficult to figure out what’s going wrong :).
