Stupid Computers
Okay, so anyone who knows me knows that I have very little patience...and if something doesn't work the first time I'll generally give up on it. Well, I spent about 20 minutes this morning typing up a post, but my computer locked up and I gave up. But, lucky for you (ha!), I am bored stupid at work right now and I'm going to try to post it again, though this will no doubt be much less involved as my last one.
Went to Texas last weekend to watch Rex Grossman live up to expectations and *literally* throw the game away. I also learned that when it comes to Devin Hester you bet that he will return the opening kickoff for a touchdown instead of proclaiming, "If he runs this back I'll buy you a jersey." I mean, come on...that was a lose-lose for me. If he runs it back I have to go shopping, if he doesn't the Bears don't start with a 7-0 lead. Still, that was one of the more exciting first halves of football I've seen in a long time, so many fumbles...
Got back on Wednesday (my Tuesday flights were cancelled due to snow, it was 70+ in Texas) and had to scrape 5 inches of snow off my car. Made me want to go back. Oh, and I could..it's getting harder to say no to Dell. They're offering more money than I'm making, I'd be able to work from home, so I wouldn't have to move to Austin (which is good since Keri and Sam have both said they won't move with me), and there is definitely more money at Dell than at Pearl. Yes, I love my job at Pearl, and I'd hate the job at Dell...but working from home for more $$...that'd be sweet.
Installed Vista this weekend, my computer is much less happy than it was before, but since it updated the Media Center software on my XBox 360 when I connected to it, it was worth it. It makes moving around the 360 much easier, to the point where I've bought an HDTV card for my computer so I can stream it to my TV thru my 360. Keri says I can't buy more 360's so I can stream it to other TV's in the house, but it may not be her decision.
Not much else. Looking forward to the Untamed Shrews this weekend, Bliss has said good things about them in the past, though I'm going with some couple I don't know, and since I generally don't like people, I don't have high hopes.
Since I'm at work, I guess I should wrap this up and go back to sleep.

I thought Dell filled that position. If they don't want me, why don't they just say that instead of feeding my some line about "we filled that position yesterday"?
