I've been in work enviroments like that as well Jon, pretty sucky! Hang in there and hopefully things will improve OR you can find a new gig (job).
Wow, being a parent must be tough, good luck Art and your wife! Cool that it's a boy this time, I've always sorta wanted a son for meta-reasons. ???
SO can we reg for the new con or what? I don't wanna end up spending even MORE cuz dennis doesn't care about the boys and just regs left and right. I can't wait for this con by the way, I am very excited! :)
Signed up for the BB beta and then also the Quake thing. You know, the Quake thing works pretty well - neat that it just GOES but it's still QUAKE which I guess I don't totally love. But I think it'll be a decent diversion.
Rented: Chronicles of Riddick Dark Athena for the 360. It's great! Great-ish. You know, I'd never played Butcher Bay so it's cool to try it - really fun, shiving dudes is cool. Haven't tried the "new" game in it yet, but I'll play them in order.

I have a truck, fuck you
I feel you on the work environment, Jon. Those of us still left have the foxhole/gallows mentality. "Dibs on your shit" has become both an inside joke and a sad truthism.
Just in case I was a total douchebag and didn't post this before (I'm really losing my mind with these 12-16 hour days.. life is a total blur).. Bennett was born the day before my birthday, 3/21/09 and has been keeping Michelle and I up at all hours of the night. It's kind of funny, you think you remember what it was like and I suppose on some level it's easier the second time around.. but it really is RELENTLESS the non-stop feeding, diapers, feeding, diapers. And here I am bitching and I'm not even the food-producing parent. Three weeks into this, he's finally starting to sleep in longer chunks at night, so that's good.
Anyhow, off to work I go. Weeee....

Blut Bowl
Aeryk, are you getting this for the 360 or PC? If the 360 I will definitely play online, it looks like a blast. Not if you're going to pull a left 4 dead and never play though. ;_;
Nothing really going on in my life except that my Dilbertish boss sucks so bad, people are quitting left and right with no backup plans. That's pretty remarkable in today's environment. Definitely a cascading problem as the more people I like leave, the worse the atmosphere gets. The only upside is watching this one guy, who for years has been apathetic at best as he was trying to get laid off with the accompanying sweet package, now suddenly fear for his career as he is facing actually being fired. He has to go through something called a "Personal Improvement Plan." Dilbertish boss vs. lazy guy is the only thing keeping me going.
I've also started listening to nothing but country music on "The Wolf" lately when I'm in the car, it's kind of a strange change for me. I genuinely enjoy it. I now know that the key to writing a successful country song is to just pick the theme of either "having a daughter is great, it's truly ironic when she grows up and has kids herself," "it's best to be simple," or "I have a truck, fuck you."

MCHSHL
Heh. Since no one owned up and decided to join the league, I haven't looked at this one all season, check out my win/loss record! :)
All that I know is that I knocked off the first place team (apparently) in the first "round"... go underdogs!
And I just moved some players around for tomorrow and Sundays game for the first time this season, you are TOTALLY screwed now!

"I don't get this whole fantasy hockey thing." - Art.
Just kidding, Art.
But seriously, that is rad that you are in the finals, but not as rad as this:
You and I are going head to head in the finals of the little followed, but nonetheless exciting MCHSHL, where you, Acosta, Happy, and I were all competing. You can follow all the action HERE and see if a guy who has no real clue who any of the players are can beat someone who is supposedly "in the know." Right now I am beating you 6-2. Game on.

Fantasy Hockey (probably only of interest to Ryan)
I have made it to the finals of my league on Yahoo sports and you can look at the teams and the playoffs here!
I was in 1rst for about half the season, then a few teams came out of nowhere to take the lead and force me way out. It was a head to head league, and I didn't realize it, but there is a playoff structure at the end of the season that takes the rankings so far and seeds them like a normal playoff picture.
I was seeded 3rd, and the 1st and 2nd place teams had bye's. I knocked off the 6th place team, then the next round knocked off the 2nd place team, meanwhile the 4th place team knocked off the 1rst place team! So it is 3rd vs 4th in the finals, which end Sunday, and currently I am in the lead 6-3!
I only have a slight advantage in most of the categories, and a few of my players are getting injured or going through slumps, so I can only keep my fingers crossed!
G A +/- PIM PPP SOG W GAA SV% SHO Score
delta p 5 9 4 30 4 34 3 1.95 .923 0 3
HC Aptos 7 11 8 16 7 45 0 2.52 .925 0 6

YouTube is Funny
So I was watching some of this The Lonely Island and this The Lonely Island and this The Lonely Island when I came across this comment:
"Hold your breath
2.Read this comment
3.Copy and pastes this comment on another video
4.If you didn't let go of your breath you like to make blowjobs"
I honestly believe the world is ending because of the Internet.

non-prereg about 45 i think. still be worth it if greater>8, and can hawk the 2 badges to a walk in. Just register under a random name Iamlothorio.lov. Anyway, I don't mind either way. /cancel
reason i chimed, actually i'm looking around for a webhosting service, and kinda new at it. What's good around, i know it's pretty much =bandwith = price paid, but other than that, a good reliable service, cheap, secure. Start me off, so i dont just go with something like godaddy.

Group Fuck(ed) by the Lothario!
D. Ennis, you proactive asshat love toboggan. jr0n says he is going to ride you down an escalator for abandoning your procrastinating brethren.
Oh, well it's a bummer I didn't notice that option before. Next year we will be suitably prepared to save money. Everyone... move along. Nothing to see here.
