gee thanks IT guys

So yesterday was my work from home day, yet when I woke up, my laptop would not even connect to the internet, let alone the network here at work. After trying for about an hour, I made the drive into the office. Guess what, no luck here either. I was going to have to take it into the walk-in PC clinic here on campus, but fearful they would be re-imaging my hard drive, and that I would lose allot of stuff, I spent most of the day backing stuff up to my external passport drive, I keep my music on. I finally took it in around 2:30, and they said it would be 5:30 before they could even look at it. So I went on home. They called around 5:30 that night and said it was ready, I could pick it up when they open at 7:30 am. I left home this morning late so I wouldn't have to sit around waiting on them. I got my laptop around 7:45, and here it is 9:15, and I am almost back working. You see the first boot I did, Outlook popped up and said it was not closed properly, and had to do some checking. Once that was done, my desktop went blank, a restart, and another outlook popup.

So I gotta say (begin sarcasm) these IT guys deserve a raise, they have waster almost a full day of mine between yesterday and today. It all traced back to a software push they did Wednesday.

Bowling scores!! Much more normal, I was a little nervous, and Andy and Jerry pissed me off or I think I would have done better.
1st game: 169
2nd game: 172
3rd game: 179

You could almost say I won the last two for us, I mean it was a team effort of course, but when I got up to bowl in the 10th frame of the second and third game, we were still behind. I guess you could say I did my part, and didn't choke. In the 2nd game I struck out (3 strikes), so when Andy got up to bowl, we had the lead, and he could have guttered, and we would still have won. The last game, I almost called shenanigans on the other team. Their strongest female bowler, carries a 170 average, and in the first two games she didn't come close. So mysteriously the third game her shoulder hurt too bad, and she decided she couldn't bowl. That means they got to carry her average. We went into the 10th frame of that game 101 pins behind (we gave them 72 every game handicap). Well I was on a strike going in, and my first two balls were strikes (gobble gobble turkey) My third I left 2 pins, but we had taken the lead again.

Here is what pissed me off though, K-State was playing Louisville on the TV's. I'm not a college football fan at all, but I asked Andy if they were still winning, he said he wanted them to lose because it was K-State. I said I rooted for them over KU (who I can not stand). That sparks this huge argument about North Carolina and KU basketball. I don't mind joking around, but he and Jerry just try to piss me off. I know Andy barely watched KU last year, and Jerry is a Nebraska fan. At one point I said the biggest reason I hate KU is the fans. Sorry if you are reading this, but it's true. KU fans are asses. Being a HUGE North Carolina Tarheel fan, and watching every game televised, I know that the final four game between KU and UNC was horrible. Yes, my Tarheels lost. Yet KU fans can't admit UNC played terrible, instead its 'we whipped your butts' they don't admit UNC almost pulled the largest comeback in a final four, or that on any other day UNC could have won, it's simply 'we killed your team'. I told them to just shut up about it, I bowl bad when I'm pissed off, and that's what they were doing, pissing me off. I have friends who are KU fans and we get along perfectly fine when we talk about NCAA Basketball, but most of my KU fan friends I won't discuss basketball with them, because they act like jag-offs about it.

Ok, rant over. Today I am leaving early to go shoot some golf with my cousin. We have a 3pm tee time, so I will need to leave around 2:15 to get there and change into some shorts.

I have a ton of email to catch up on from yesterday, so I better get to work, it appears Outlook is ready, hopefully it behaves.


before I go, watch sarah 'animal killer' palin flip flop in an interview, and demonstrate she doesn't know what the word 'doctrine' actually means.

ciao!
