I’m working a normal shift today… 8 – 5. Well… semi-normal. I do have to do the graveyard shift as well.

So I’ll be up at 1:00 am for the 2 am – 10 am shift as well. It’s gonna be a long damn day.

Perhaps I’ll turn on the webcam for those of you who can’t sleep.

Last weekend was nice. I got together with two friends of mine, Mike and Sean. I haven’t seen Mike in 5 years (he moved off to Kansas) and it’s been nearly 2 years since I’ve seen Sean.

The 3 of us worked together in a hell hole that doesn’t exist anymore called Software Spectrum (well… it still exists, but only in a limited sort of way… the office we worked in went belly up a while ago). There are a great many entertaining stories I could tell about the adventures we used to have… the road trips, the smoking area, terrorizing Liberty Lake, WA on rollerblades, etc..

I hooked up with them on Friday and we killed a half-rack of Fat Tire Ale while playing catch up with each other.

Great times!

On Sunday, I took my son and his friend out to watch The Punisher. Violence-R-Us! It’s not a bad film, but it’s not a great film either. It was, however, worth the $6 matinee admittance I paid for each of us.

Other news: I’m trying to get info from my neurosurgeon’s office on my eminent surgery. I get cut 2 weeks from today and I need to let my work know what the down-time is for the procedure. I’ve left a message…. hopefully I’ll get a call back soon.

My wife is recovering from her surgery two weeks ago. She’s now allowed to drive again so she’s not locked into the house all day (though she’s such a hermit… that’s where she stays anyway). She’ll still have 2 weeks or so off when I get cut, so we’ll have some overlap.

That’s it for now… see ya at 2:00 am!
