  • Things to be grateful for:


    Finally finished with this KC Project.  Spent much longer time there than I could ever care for.  Well, it was fine except for the long hours in the friggin cave!  The network was working perfectly but I had to be there to ensure that user acceptance testing went well.  Their damn application wasn't working properly and I had to take a protocol analyzer, capture the traffic to and from one of the desktops, and prove that it wasn't a network issue.  It turned out to be either the installation script or some type of permissions issue.


    Spent some quality time with my best friends... watched Illini kick ass... shot pool (and quite well)... drank gallons of alcohol with no hangover  :)


    Things to look forward to:


    21 days 'til Puerto Vallarta!!!  I'm gonna dedicate my free time to work out / run.  I need to lose this beer gut.  I've done it before... it just wasn't very fun... or easy.  Now, I have to start counting calories and see if I can drop 15 lbs in 3 weeks.


    I accepted the offer from the other bank... I'm sure they will be contacting me soon to let me know when to take the "test" and to fill out the paper work for the background check.  If I pass the "test" I can give the current bank I work for my 2 weeks notice... and tell the guy I subcontract for... to shove the multicast paper he requested from me up his ass!  Fortunately for him I only did one page... then I realized he was expecting me to work pro bono so I refuse to do it.


    Once I get hired full time by either banks, I'm gonna move forward and close on a property.  In the meantime, I still need to save up for the 1st quarter taxes...ugh.
