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)
