Fathers Day

by

For my fathers day we took my dad to dim son. I can’t spell it. He loves that stuff. He extra special gift was that Morgan slept over last night with my mom and dad. Oh my sister did also, but I don’t think that was as big a deal as Morgan being there.

We all went out for brunch, except mike. he had an overnight shift at the CCU. Carrie and the baby are doing dinner with him after he sleeps. I went with my parents to their customary sunday dinner, pizza at my dad’s favorite place. they are such creatures of habit these days. I guess that is good.

I tried to fix my dad’s printer, but it looks like the motor is jammed or something mechanical screwed up. I told him it is not worth trying to fix a 4 year old $100 ink jet printer. He doesn’t think he needs it anyway. he will print color stuff at work. if he needs a printer he will let me know. I may just give him my old laser printer and get one that works on my mac. not sure yet. Money for the next couple of months may be tight with the move, so I want to save for a while. that means no major purchases unless I go on an ebay selling spree.

Productive Day

by

I got allot done today. Some days I get allot done, but it doesn’t feel that way. The majority of days feel that way. It is the nature of what I do that the work I do in a day is not always (almost never) what I plan on doing when I get up in the morning. I mean some of what I plan on doing usually gets done, but there are always things that pop up.

Today I was able to work through my back log of issues. I got allot of the requests done. I only have a few more to clear out. I am under 10 issues in my “ticket box”. that is good for me. That does not include the 57 open tasks my department has. I am just talking about issues that crop up throughout the day.

I also was able to go out for lunch with cari and jayson. We went to the Old Town Tavern. it was nice. We don’t normally get to go out for lunch.

I am off to home to do my laundry, and take a nap. I have to be up by 1AM to do some work on our Fulfillment servers. I need to put them on our automated update schedule.

I hope I can nap. But I am not holding my breath.

Tuesday At Old Town

by

Tuesday night Jayson, Cari, and I went to old town tavern for dinner. Jay and I of course cut out early to go home. That is a classic case of me needing to have an apartment in the city. I really think that if I did, I would be able to stay out later. No rushing to catch a railroad train home every night.

My luck no one will want to go out anymore when I am in manhattan:)

It was a fun night. No drinking for me since I have a cold, but still fun.

Cari Night

by

The local bar we like to goto after work has a special deal it does. They publish a months worth of names. One name per day. If your name matches the name they have on a specific day, and you show up you get free drinks for the night. They give you a special cup and you can get beer on tap and well drinks for free.

Friday was Cari night, so our Cari at work had us all come out and drink with her. It was a good time. Jeff, Dave, and Nick meet me out. They are friends from my first tech job. They work across the street, but we don’t always get a chance to get together. It was a nice night. I drank a bit. Recently I have been feeling the effects of alcohol allot quicker than I am used to. I have always been a light weight, but I haven’t been this bad since college.

I cut out relatively early since I had to take the rail road home. I can’t wait till I am in the city.

Hanging Out

by

Saturday night I got together with Rich, and we went over to Alison’s. They never meet before so it was good to get that over with. We went to Chillis for dinner. I like that place, but don’t go that often. Then we went to Jillian’s. Alison beat both rich and I at air hockey. I didn’t mind. At least she beat him! We hung out there for a while. It was fun. Alison likes that place. The only problem is they have a limited amount of games, unless you spend allot more and go bowling, drink, or play pool.

It was an early night. I needed to catch up on my sleep…

Surpirse Birthday Dinner Friday

by

I forget the name of the restaurant but we all meet in soho for a surprise dinner for Dari. The place was half a block from the Apple store in soho. I just remember the really weird yellow chairs.

The problem with the whole surprise was Dari wouldn’t leave work. So we were late for our reservations. We didn’t want to leave and have her leave at the same time as the group. So we all waited for her to leave. The problem was she never did. By the time alyssa said lets go, Dari was walking out. So what we tried to avoid happened. We all lied and said we were going to dinner some place. then we walked the really long way around the block so we didn’t end up on the same subway as her. It was really funny.

We ended up at the restaurant first, and it was a real surprise. It was fun. I had the chicken with crab cakes appetizer. I got really buzzed off of one kamikaze. I had a second but ended up giving it away since I didn’t want to get smashed. I am a light weight when it comes to alcohol but 1 drink usually doesn’t buzz me. Oh well…

Birthday Lunch At American

by

It was Dari & Jennifer’s birthday’s at work friday. We went out to America for a lunch. There was like 22 of us. It was a huge table. it was a nice time out. It was the first of 2 celebrations for their birthday. Dari’s boyfriend had setup a surprise dinner for her so we didn’t want to have her figure out she had a dinner that night, so we went to lunch.

Birthday Lunch Special At Angelo Maxi’s

by

Went with Jayson and Dan to angelo maxi’s steak house for Jayson’s birthday today. It was good food like always. We had the lunch special. For $20.99 you get soup or salad (i don’t eat it) a steak of some kind, and desert. I get the cheese cake. It is awesome for like $26 after tax and tip. It is not an everyday thing, but once in a while it is nice, and allot cheaper than their regular meal at dinner time.

Drinks With Dave

by

Jay and I met up with Dave and his cousin for some drinks after work today. dave still doesn’t know what he wants to do for a living. His cousin johnny is always interesting. I cut out early so I could rest up a bit in order to install some backup agents tonight for work.

We went to a cool bar on 35th and madison ave. It had over 100 beers. I think on tap. I am not a big beer drinker, but they did have some interesting stuff. I just stuck with Jack Daniel’s and Coke. Can’t go wrong with Jack and Coke.

Mortons

by

I had dinner at Morton’s steak house last night. It was good, as always. It was a little hectic with Alison’s nephews around, but not too bad. I had a small filet and I was stuffed. I didn’t drink more than 1 jack and coke since I had to work after dinner.

Because we were running so late at dinner I had to cut out early to get to the office for our scheduled maintence. I missed out on the godiva chocolate cake desert. It sounded exactly like what amanda made for me for my birthday. Mmm, molton chocolate center cake. I don’t want to ask how it was because I wanted to have some. Oh well, next time for sure!
