All moved in!

Huge THANKS to all that helped out on the very hot hot Saturday. I unfornately got heat stroke early in the game but of course, being the really great friends that you all are, everyone stepped up their game for the long haul. It was way longer than I ever expected. I suspected about four hours for the whole deal. It would have been close; however, due to scorching high heat it was well over the time frame. Hope the Saz's food was a good treat. I know the ribs were gone in no time. I guess I'll get more next time and no turkey.

Now I'm in this huge drug free building that is so quiet I only hear peeps in the hallway maybe once a day. I have the sound up on receiver to whatever volume I want and only disturb me and the babies. Of course there is some re-arranging to do but for now I'm a happy camper. The babies are getting used to the creeking floor and the loss of grip they normally would have on carpet. It's so awesome to see them try to get some control when running thru the living room. If all works out, I'll have some little party there to kind of show off the place once I get everything in some kind of order.

Other (cute) news: my cute little furry neice is doing well. She still doesn't have the front legs coordinated with the back so when she runs it's more of a hopping motion. Wickedly adorable yet. To me at least. She's growing strong and slowly elongating like she should. She will pretty much be a runt due to the lack of momma's milk. That's ok. Our family seems to like the runts of a litter/family. Don't have any updated pictures of her. :( I hope to take some this coming Saturday when I see her for a few mintues before the trip (I'll explain further down).

This weekend is a treat. Heading to Green Bay for some meet the Players dinner. Not sure what the real title of the event is but I do know my bro paid some big bucks for the tixs. I know we'll hit the casino up there for a few hours if not more then move onto the event. I guess were staying over night Saturday and coming back some time Sunday. It should be interesting. Now I just have to find that Digital camera to take the pics. I know it's in a box somewhere. Then again I really don't have a machine up and running to download the pics too. Oh wait, I can use one of the three computers here at work. "Oh I love it when a plan comes together." hehe

Well you heard it here first. I don't have my computer up and running. I might not have it running in the new place at all. One of the disadvantages of an older place is older outlets and not too many outlets either. I was going to have it against this one small wall so that when sitting in front of the computer, one would be able to look into the living room. There is no outlet there. The outlet that is in the little room (aka dining room) is on the wall opposite the kitchen. It's also a two prong outlet so a power strip really won't work there. I'll have to come up with another plan for where to put the computer and where to plug it in. I'm not sure the apartment can handle a computer, microwave, entertainment center and/or air conditioner on at almost the same time. It should make things a bit challenging but it should be a good push to use that otherside of my brain (creative side, I mean).

Thanks go out to Lisa for trying to get rid of some stuff on Ebay for me. If anyone is interested in some A20 modem cards, let me know. I have a ton. I have some comics too but I'm sure I can sell those to a comic store that I go to and get some store credit that I probably could use the same day.

Work is ramping up for the migration that is to start September 1st. They haven't tested all the standard software in the new environment let alone some of the different department standard software. It's kinda f'd up but at least it's still on track! It'll be interesting to see if they are going to have just the four of us doing the reimaging and setup up of machines or a team of migration workers in here at night. I heard those details haven't been worked out yet. Ok it's not a really giantic migration. Just over 1200 machines. Part of the problem is the clearance needed for the sheriff and jail areas. I can understand that being a problem but not knowing if you are going to bring in others to do the migration at night or not? That I do not get. There is only one month left to have it all figured out and only yesterday did they have a tenative schedule of the departments and dates printed out for some of the folks.

Well on that note, it's almost time for lunchy and I have to get some outside time in the yard. I must have been watching too much Prison Break. Can't wait for next season to start up again. I'll save my comminatary for another posting for another day.
