Give me cancer now God...
This meeting has been a blast, but I really would love to eat a bottle of rat poison than remain here.
And I'm one of the people who's been working on this new system for a while. This means that there is no new news for me.
The redeeming factor in this day is that it is fun to watch people scrambling while they do their best to adapt. I think I was 90 percent fluent on this bad boy after a few hours.
So this would be a colossal waste of my time if it wasn't for the fact that I can email from my phone and update my blog, and laugh at people as they ask questions that have already been answered to other people long before today.
Aside from all of the fun here, today has been a weird one. I destroyed a tire on my car and discovered that there was no jack in my car... MB sent a tech to fix it (and bring me a jack), so I just had a fun wait on the side of the highway. I learned that my cell phone is the worst phone in the world. It's a great PDA, a wonderful email machine, and it can text message like a champ. It is the worst PHONE that I've ever used. So this weekend I'm getting new rims and a new phone.
But now I'm going to stare blankly at the speaker, and maybe field a question or two from the people who are lagging behind.

Random Emails
So it turns out that the first email I open today is also destined to be one of the best ever.
Go Huskies!

Roll It Out
So at the end of this week my company rolls out an entirely new software and hardware system for everyone.
I'm not in our IT department, I'm in our beer shenanigans department.
But, I am the youngest guy in my position by 5 years... Well closer to eight years... I'm the guy with a blog. The one who always fixes people's mistakes so that they don't have to wait for IT to come do it. As one guy put it, "You remind me of my kid, he's a genius at this 'computer stuff.'" Of course I do, his kid is four years younger than I am...
So...
I was selected by my boss' boss to be our departments liaison to IT for this whole "new system" fiasco. This means that I get to do my job, the parts of my boss' job that I already do, and now that job on top of it. But the fun doesn't end there. IT likes me because they don't have to dumb anything down for me, so they have asked me to be one of the few "Super Users" (yeah, the computer geeks at my company are just like the geeks at every company). This means I get an Administrator account on the new system and will be somewhat responsible for my guys systems. When the shit hit's then fan, they'll call me instead of bugging IT immediately. Of course I said yes. I think that I have "a snowflakes chance in hell" when it comes to mastering the new system in ONE WEEK, but I know that I have a better chance of getting it right than anyone else that they could task for the job in this short a period of time.
So as I prepare for what will no doubt be one of the busiest weeks of work in recent memory, I figure that I might as well throw my schedule up here for all to see.
Mon - Work and then dinner with brewmaster of one of our brands.
Tues - The Island, and then a stupid appointment about my stupid knee.
Wed - Work, and then a division meeting after work about March.
Thurs - Work (Thank God, one day of just work)
Fri - All day with the IT guys working on the new system.
Sat - Friday part two. It will be a long day.

I'm D-Runk
Totally Drunk...
If TCH would volunteer to drive to Krystals, I'm buying...
Big post tomorrow. Well... Today.
Just later, when I'm less hammered. In the AM...
LOL... Someone please stop me before I make some comment about someone/something that I can't retract.
Holy crap. Why am I able to post from my cell phone? I should totally turn this off...
Or not. (Insert inappropriate comment here about breasts.)
Wow, just lost half my readers with that one.
Guys, please don't hold drunk Stormin to anything. I blame it all on D.K., he's getting me drunk...
Side of beef.

Hitting On Me
I think Word Verification is hitting on me. While posting on Mindy Does Minneapolis (great blog, by the way, and not about what all you pervs are thinking right now, but hey I though it too), my W.V. caused a raised eyebrow...
What would you all make of this:
Now, in case you can't make that one out, I zoomed:
As close to "under you" as can be... ;-)
I'm not that easy. I think.
