Started out Thursday at home but Slick wanted me to drive in for the ESX remediation/redesign meeting.� Mostly as a show of solidarity since I'd already been collaborating on the project and I've seen all the data.

Had lunch with Cartman, Sper-dooge, and Grandpa Simpson.� Went to the Greek Restaurant up in north Scottsdale.

The presentation went fine, everyone agreed to move forward and we only spent 3 hours on it.� I spent the next couple of hours talking with Mr. T and Slick about various items of business.

- Brought the 64 Oracle server home to build at my leisure.� I want to get it done next week if I can, right now its just sitting on the spare chair in my office.

- Mr. T. said that if I _really_ want to move to Oregon, he might be able to persuade our CIO to let me continue working for the company and just commute to Phoenix once a month.�

-- I could buy my own plane or just fly Southwest Airlines, the only airline still in business that makes a profit and has loyal customers.� Maybe its because they treat the customers like they matter.

    CORALINE's Interests:

    About Me: Little Plastic Castle is an extension of This Child's Life which is not hosted at inboxjournal. This blog will make little sense to anyone other than myself. It's a stream of consciousness log of what I do on a daily basis in my job as a UNIX computer systems engineer. o/~ "They say goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine...so the little plastic castle is a surprise every time, and its hard to say if they're happy, but they don't seem much to mind." o/~ I endeavor to respect confidentiality and thus I use nicknames for the people I work with. (Mr. T, Ratface, Jerry, Cartman, Grandpa Simpson, Slick, and so on.) I drop system names in here and abbreviations, but any note that requires something like a FQDN will always be marked private. You can comment if you like, but I'll only respond if I feel like it.

    Interests: Cast of Characters: Just a few of the names I use for people, this is the nickname and what their job responsibility is.
