Impressed so far

This weekend I spent a bit more than a few hours pimping myself out, on paper that is. There's quite a bit out there if one looks in several places. Well I received a call this morning on my cell for a position that is here. It's for a Testing Coordinator/Rollout lead for a huge downtown company that w/in the year remove their brokerage subsidiary. They need someone now to soon and this person filling company wanted me after my update on Monster. Pretty cool I thought. I have the info if anyone is interested; just email me.

Another thing going on: April 29th from 7pm to 9pm @ Mad Planet - It's an Anniversary Party. The only reason I mention it, is that Rose wants to have a tenative count so she can figure out how many bartenders she should have on hand. I want just one there due to how cute he is. Yep I want eye candy at my party. I'm allowed!! :) If you haven't rec'd your invite, by all means let me know.

Bon Jovi will be coming back to Milwaukee giving a free concert. It's some anniversary concert. I can't remember who it's for but it's to happen August 20th.

To those that care.... yeah be careful out there. (bbbbuuuuuaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh :D )

Can you believe it?

I'm Jinx.
You are an individual in the true sense of the word; a female James Bond of sorts. You're fiercely independent, and perfectly capable of taking control of difficult situations. Strong and reliable, your good looks often disarm those who don't expect you to be much more than a pretty face. (hmmmm)

What Bond girl are you?

Just been a busy week once again. Really haven't been getting home before 9pm. Gosh that doesn't seem all that late until you figure in that I didn't get something in my belly for dinner until after that time.

Met this really terrific guy Monday during a training class. We email now and then and have a great time just geek talkin'. He knows a ton of stuff about all kinds of things. Here's hoping that the fun continues. He's a pretty neat guy to chat/email with. Hope to learn more from him while I'm still in the area.

Well it's late again so have a good Happy Easter or whatever holiday you celebrate.

Can't believe it's been a week

I must have been busy or down right lazy. I think it a bit of both this time.

Working late to get machines setup for new folks at work and coordinating some things before the huge move for next Thursday. Good news: I will be at a MS training deal Monday and Tuesday. Bad news: ton of paperwork, swap out old machines w/ new, and other little details regarding the move the thurs night.

Doin' some reading of Fortune mag - they have an article in there about the best advice given to many of the CEOs of leading Fortune 500 companies. Very cool. Interesting to read some of the back stories of folks that have been very very successful. Richard Branson opened a record shop when he was 17. Nothing showing at that age he'd be a very big go getter or anything like that. It just boggles my mind.

Also been reading that most designers barely make a move on their own. Many consult a physic daily. Maybe they consult them more often than that. It depended on the person and the physic. Many movie stars (Brad Pitt, Demi Moore and others) consult them as well. I'm not sure I buy into the whole thing exactly. Somethings are chance.

Encore is having Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl on I guess it's this week or month. Not sure how their programming is working just yet. Johnny Depp is so hot as a swash-buckling pirate. Yummy! Orlando Bloom isn't bad ither. Can't wait to see the two sequels (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest AND Pirates of the Caribbean 3- working title)! Johnny's quite the busy for the next year or two promoing movies.

Question du jour: If you had a fav TV show and couldn't record, what would you give up to go home and watch it? (keep it clean hehe)

It's been awhile.....

since I've posted something of substance so hang on to your seats for a fun ride!

Now and then we all get a little blonde but I pulled a duzy Friday night. Was online chatting with a friend of mine and he was wonderfully offered a fun time in Jamaica. I thought he meant he was going that night. Bit odd to be chatting when he should be heading to the airport. Well the actual trip is not until June or something. Yeah I felt like quite the blonde.

However this next story super secedes the one above. My G-dad is on a crazy stupid-ass diet. I find out tonight that he's been dizzy for awhile. That is bad since he's over 80 and had heart surgery about 1.5 yrs ago. (The best part is coming.) This new diet has him eating veggies and fruit most of the time. ( I would have said day but it's only three meals he's supposed to eat for the day.)

Male version of story: he tells me he's supposed to have a total of 200 calories a day. (READ: for the entire day!) Yes. Yes. That is not the brain working on full thrusters. Yelling at him that a person should have a min of 1200. Since he's grossly over weight I said he should be doing about 2000 max. Of course he thought I was nuts. (granted now and again, I agree.) This time I know I'm completely right since this was beaten into my head in health class and most of the mags I read about food/eating.

Last I saw he was grabbing the book of stupid-ass wisdom to prove his point. I haven't received a call yet about how wrong I am. I'm guessing I won't and that he didn't read something correctly. YEA THINK SO?!

OK that is the news of today (Saturday) so here's the news of Friday. Was booking my butt off at work to get my new machine setup for me before the night was over. For those that don't know, I work until 6pm Monday thru Friday. I like it since I miss traffic on both sides of the commute. I wouldn't mind working earlier say 7 to 4 but that opportunity is just not available for me just yet.

Anyway, the news is that I get to keep the boss I have currently until they hire an IT Ops Manager.........Oops the title has changed since the news was reported to the employees - OH shocker! So the Help Desk reports to a new lead person. This person is in charge of telecommunications for all offices. Yeah that makes sense.

The circuit person and the two server boys report to someone that normally takes care of one part of Peoplesoft. Not sure how much server information he knows. I'm thinking slim to nil on that one. So it's the blind leading the blind deaf and stupid. I think our director is moving responsibilities off to capable people. (READ: things are really f'd up now!)

So I'm confused as to why I'm still stuck with a boss that doesn't have a clue on anything resembling a PC Lab/desktop support. It's great that he's in charge of our security settings. Basically I will be doing what I already do, whatever it takes to get it done. Not actually the way things should be but then again, according to my review: I complain a lot. Hmmm I wonder why that is? This doesn't cause concern to anyone? I guess not but then again I don't think the VPs care so much that IT is going into the Loo.

In other great news: There was a shooting with many Murder Death Kills today. It's really terrific that Wisconsin goes national with the likes of Gacy, Dahmer and now a church shooter. Even better that he off'd himself so we can all understand why he did this.

Broadband expanding with this satellite which blasted off Friday from Florida. Not sure I'm all that excited about another satellite floating in space. Wonder when they will come up with a ship that will bring down the ones that no longer work instead of having them just fall to the earth whenever.

Had no idea that Packers didn't want Sharper. Hmmm we should have an interesting season next Fall.

Here's a great question: If money were not a factor, where would you like to go? (country/state or city)

Links not safe for work

http://www.starterupsteve.com/swf/rake_bush4.html - don't forget to turn the sound on.

http://www.sexchampionships.com/ - yes it's naughty but it's so much fun. I've met a few folks from here. Most users are from England but there are others from Europe that play. Enjoy.

http://www.wtfpeople.com/ - think many of us think this. Well there's a website. Visit and enjoy

Oh yeah that's much better!

Had dinner at Biggs before seeing a movie. It's not the Cheesecake Factory but then again one doesn't have to wait an hour to an hour and a half to get a table. I had a tenderloin filet. It was darn nice piece of meat too.

The movie: Constantine. I completely recommend it for everyone. Heck even kids 3 and up were there watching it. I'm not a fan of kids watching this movie but hey I'm not a parent ither. I believe this movie will gain popularity by word of mouth. I haven't read the comics to know the John Constantine character all that well but hey a great script, pretty decent actors and a good director can get a good movie put out there. If anyone wants to go, I'm willing to go again.

Worked a bit at Planet last night. Well part of the night anyway. Girl from worked showed up last night with her hubby. That was pretty cool. My friends from Port Washington came down to party up a bit. The two groups of folks were what helped the night be fun. Ok so did the cash. heh Might be working next Friday night as well since Jen has to work at the Museum late.

end note for now: Don't let the Physical shape of a woman blind you from her intellectual beauty.
