Dropped my car off to get the repairs finished then headed to work with an officemate who gave me a ride. 60 seconds after I sat down on my desk the phone started ringing, then emails and IM’s came pouring in. Spent the better part of the day trying to get a site in Colorado up on the WAN. After replacing equipment, it turned out to be a problem with the phone company (Qwest) gear. Suprisingly, they showed up on site a little over 2 hours after we got a trouble ticket opened with them. That’s pretty dang impressive. After they fixed their stuff, me and my people came back in and got the other pieces in place to get things humming.

Picked up my car after work… hmmm, I have one lingering problem - the car “stumbles” a bit when accelerating from idle. I’ll call tomorrow and see what the deal is with that. Got home and felt really tired all the sudden so I crashed for a bit before the Guad Squad get together. Got up and met Kev at the mall first to pre-order a game. Once again, I got screwed on the perks - Kev got a free CD thingy for Far Cry. That was the last one. Last week, I pre-ordered the special edition of UT2004 on DVD. Kevin got his, I got screwed because we actually weren’t supposed to get them (due to a stupid issue) but Kev picked his up before EB Games realized the error. GAH!

Got a battery in my watch changed by some old friends at a jewelery store then made my way to Guad. Met up with the usual suspects, the Burns, Eli & Co., “Biceps” Root and the suprise guests - the Andersons! We all had a great time. The margaritas were at a tooth enamel dissolving level tonight. I stopped at one. Finished then went with Kyle, Eli, and the kids to Dillard’s to shop. I picked up 2 more casual shirts. Went home after that.

Joined Brandon and some of his friends on their UT server for some Onslaught. Did pretty good. It’s fun getting back into that fast action game. I look forward to doing more of that. Time for bed now though.
