I need a small WAN, hold the onions and a Coke to drink please...

Monday night consisted of the Guad Squad. After finishing eating at the "dark tables", Kev and I headed to EB Games so he could pick up Mario Kart for the Gamecube. Stacey was rubbin her head like she was expecting a genii to come out but as it turns out, she had developed a headache. She took off for the house so she could partake of some drugs.

Picked up the game then gave Kev a lift to his place. There was a crowd over at Dave's house. The guys were all muddy and the girls had pulled up chairs to watch the excitement. Seems that as Dave was digging holes to make room for some plants, he struck water... his water main that is. (He got it healed I found out later) Tried out the new game over at Kev's for a bit then went on home.

Tuesday was hoppin at work as I had all sorts of projects with data coming in... reports, emails, etc. Then, Bill said "we're gonna need you in the lab..." A few minutes later I was up to my ears in Cisco, Verilink, and Paradyne gear with the assorted cables and adapter going in all directions. I was to set up a WAN environment to test on. This environment would emulate one of our client's remote locations and their HQ. After an hour or two, I was done.

Later I got involved with a new version of one of our custom applications that had come out last night. Discovered a couple of bugs that needed to be corrected. All should be ready to go by Wednesday morning so I'll give it a go again then.

Met up with Suzanne for lunch today. On the way to meet her I hopped on Research Blvd. and who did I pull up next to? The Kyle. What a coincidence. I called his cell to see if he wanted to join us and he was evidently having a low-hygine day and had planned to do a drive-by and bring food back to the office. Heh. Lunch was fun - got caught up on what's going on in her life and also talked about old times. During lunch, this major downpour came about. I was going to wait it out but I had to get back to the office to get that WAN thing I mentioned going. Ended up getting soaked on the way to the car. On my way back to the office, the rain got REALLY bad. When I finally arrived back in Madison, it hadn't even rained there!?! So I walk in from lunch soaking wet while outside it's sunny. Sigh. I look like I just jumped in a pool then strolled in. Oh well.

Got a call from Jesus on the way home. He was needing to know how to hook his camcorder up to his PC. I schooled him in the art of Firewire. When I got home, I got behind the drums and played for awhile. I heard some new stuff to try on a CD I listened to.

That's about it. Gonna do some laundry then call it a night.

Oh, here's a special "WHAT UP!" to my buddy Brad in Austin. He's doing the bachelor thing as his wife's out of town for a few days. Enjoy the peace and quiet! ;-)
