Before I'm off to work...

Went out last night with Jeff, Spencer and Paul who are the co-workers who live in theapartment complex with me. They convinced me to live here - and that's good, since it cut my commute in half (and I can write at 9:00 and still not be late). We played trivia at BW3 and watched some football and basketball that was on the tube there. (what else are you going to do with the straights?)

We then came back to my place to watch South Park. Crazy episode that kinda skewered to whole tolerance issue, with Mr. Garrison having the line of the night - you can be tolerant with out being forced to accept something. Very true. The guys thought it was oddhaving me around as the show skewered some gay stereotypes, but really, it was no problem - I gues they thought I'd be mad, but really, making fun of the stereotype was not the point of their message, and South Park - to me at least - has been fairly gay-tolerant if not positive.

Otherwise, we got one of the neighbors upset with some loud music after the show (sorry). It's amazing how much beer those guys can go through, though. I had one for their four (each) in the space of about two hours. Now the trash can's full...

Early Release Day

Well, 30 minitues after getting to work, the lights go out. Although other buildings were on around us, our building was down - except for the phones. So, as we wait, unable to accomplish anything.

Later, we allow everyone to take a long lunch, since we can't get an answer from building management about the power availability. As I'm management, I have to go running around making sure that all critical buisness aspects are covered. The Austin office takes over the calls and we're able to take a couple of buisness critical items over to the other building.

So, higher ups in the company let all of the building go home, but forget to tell our department. Everyone's gone to lunch, and we have to tell them all that they don't need to come back. So damn annoying. And there was only one elevator running!

This only means more work tomorrow. Now I'm trying to decide what I should be doing with this free time!
