Super Tuesday!

I figured I will try some enthusiasm for today. This morning started off crappy when a majority of the things needed to do our jobs broke...company wide. That was a big bag of awesome. Other than that, the day has been progressing well. The first skirmishes of the LaunchPad Mizzle Nerf war were fought to a draw...there will be more to come on that front.

Other than that, same old same old for me. Silvertips have their annual pre-season hockey tournament this weekend. For a hockey nut like me, watching 3 games a day is awesome. Can't wait for it. Trying to drag some friends to it, as they like the hockey. Well, now I have to return the Job, customers are waiting...or as the propaganda posters say, ' Our customers satisfaction is on the line!'

Stress

Today started out sucky...read some bad news about the Bossman on his blog, work being busy, and some school issues lead to badtimes. Things got better, the day progressed, laughs were had.

Tomorrow should be a good day, we have our 'All Hands' meeting and the morale event. The meeting will something that I won't care too terribly much about. The morale event should be a blast, and it will be LaunchPad vs Mizzle for go-kart supremacy. You're going down LP...

Other than that, not too much is going on. Finished my summer classes, have a month before fall classes begin. I am going to try to get another computer cert, would look better on a performance review and stuff like that. At work we are getting study groups together since we do get free cert tests, might as well use them. In a couple weekends, Silvertips season will be starting up...should be fun to watch...Hockey is always good, even when they will be rebuilding next year.

Mizzle Movie Reviews...bring the Thunder...

Tropic Thunder that is. What an awesome movie. Great premise, group of actors filming a Vietnam War movie get involved in their own war. Some great gags including fake movie trailers and some great cameo appearences by well know actors. There was even a surprise casting which worked out well. Not gonna spoil it, but it really did work. I want to see this one again, anyone want to go?

Mizzle causes Deathstorms in Texas...

Cause I am super powerful like that? According Kristi down in Las Collinas, I like to cause deathstorms...and Sharepoint to break...but that's another story entirely.

Nothing much has been going on with me. I am done with Hockey for a couple of months, both Gatchateam and the Vandals have been knocked out of the playoffs. It was a good run for the Vandals...Gatchateam had a season to forget. Hopefully in the winter things work out differently. The high turnover really sucks and leads to 2-9-0-1 seasons.

Next Sat is my birthday. Should be goodtimes, making plans. I have the next day off thanks Princess Kitten swapping days with me. Should allow me to recuperate from any 'festivities'...

Another little annoyance at work...

In the spirit of Wiwille's post about 'reply to all' (Reply-all), I'd like to point out another annoying email habit of co-workers. There are a number of people that email our cellphone enthusiast list complaining that certain rival phones do not work with our email system or network due to security. These same people also complain that our phone discounts do not apply toward those phone products also.

Are they stupid? I have to side with Wiwille on this one, how do these people make so much more than me? Why would we support rival devices like that? Its nice when a director level person who was involved in the process tells them to STFU about it, but still, should they even be asking about why?

Mizzle Movie Reviews...Pineapple Express

Last night I saw the newest Seth Rogan comedy, Pineapple Express. I thought it was an good flick, had some good moments and some moments where it tried a little too hard. Decent story, involving corrupt cops and drug wars, with comedy and stereotypes. The acting was pretty good, James Franco plays a good stoner. One thing I didn't get was during the previews there was an ad for a really bad chick flick...most people in the theatre were confused about that. I would recommend seeing this one with some friends in theaters.

Something to rant about this morning...people that cut in the coffee line. What the hell? Is it that important for you to get your morning sludge?
