OK so they got to work on the office today.  It’s about 1/2 way done.  They say we should be able to move into it tomorrow.  I will snap some shots of it after we get everything installed and hooked up.

Happy?  Yeah for the most part, somethings I wish were different already, but who am I to complain.

Here you go:

I really like the overhead cabinets and shelves..

I have added or maybe I should say that I installed a Do Follow for Comments plugin so all comments will now be followed.  I hope this might encourage anyone out there who does read my blog to comment once in awhile.

I have also installed the commentluv plugin which will enable you to have a link to your last blog post show up in your comment if you wish to choose that option.

Things have been nuts at work today and with soccer tryouts this week, I haven’t been all there mentally so hopefully I will find some time later tonight to get some posts moving along and get my drops back on entrecard since I haven’t had much time to spend dropping my cards on other people’s blog..

Wednesday I’m supposed to be getting my office at work re-done.  When I say re-done, it’s actually going to be re-done.

About 1-2 weeks ago the guy (Jordan) who is helping out (Phones and Desktop support while I focus more on servers and back him up) moved into my office due to space issues out on the floor (we just keep hiring people).  So right now it’s a little crowded with 3 full size desks.  Tomorrow we need to start moving things out to get ready for the re-do.

First they are going to slap some paint on the walls just cause it really needs a new coat.  Then they are installing some custom desks and matching shelves and a custom whiteboard.  Yeah I’m pretty excited.  Should give me some more space and for it to be a little better organized.

Tomorrow I will take a picture of the before shot and will take one after they are done.

Yeah…

I started off the weekend Friday night by going out to dinner at one of our favorite BBQ places.  It was really good and we ate way too much,  I’m getting hungry right now thinking about it. LOL

Saturday morning I was off to soccer practice (like most Saturday mornings).  Today we were having two practice games against 2 teams in our same club.  Our team showed up 45 minutes to 1 hour early to start warming up, and then we started shortly after 10am.  We lost both of our games.  The first one was really bad and the girls acted like they had chains staked into the ground and their ankles were tied to them.  The second game wasn’t as bad, but still bad enough.  After the 2 games, the 4 teams that were there all had a water balloon and soaker fight. (the temps were getting really hot).  So 3 weeks till tryouts, so I hope we get some players showing up at that time to add to our team.  After soccer I ran home and then off to target we go really quick, then off to our friends house in Alvarado for some games and dinner.

Sunday came quick and off to church we go - Servanthood was the theme. (John 13:1-17) was the focus.  After that a quick lunch and I was off to work for 3 hours since we had to upgrade some of our NIC’s in our Exchange, SQL and File servers.  All went great until we realized that DELL screwed up again (this isn’t there first time) and didn’t send us the right card for the Exchange Server.  Oh well I like to work weekends (NOT) and this will just make another weekend visit.  After work it was home to relax the rest of the night!

Well if you are one of the 4,600 who work for AT&T you might not. 
According to the news, AT&T announced today it plans to cut 4,600 jobs or 1.5 percent of it’s work force.

Article Blurb:
The nation’s largest telecommunications provider said most of the layoffs will be among managers, particularly in wireline operations, including local phone service and service for large corporate customers. Jobs in corporate functions in like finance will also be cut.

I’m glad that I do not work for them.  If you do I hope you are not management…!!!
Good Luck.
