Carpe Diem

[ ]   —   9:35 pm

I was looking to update on Sunday morning at work, but who would’ve guessed I was actually pretty busy the whole time I was here on Sunday. That was somewhat of a nice change, but I definately could’ve used some sleep after Saturday night.

So after work on Saturday, I decided that I did not want to go ahead and just do nothing all afternoon. But I was also not particularly motivated to go and do anything requiring a whole lot of energy. I called a few people and watched part of the Arena semifinals. Then I decieded it would be a better time if I were to go ahead and do something. I called Tod and ended up grabbing some beer and heading over by his place to chill out. We had good times, beer, video games and a small fire of scrap lumber. Since I had to pass on the opportunity presented to me on Friday night by Tyler at 1:30am, I decided to give him a call. I ended up meeting him and his buddies down at the Anchor. That was fun, some attractive gals down there.

Sunday morning came entirely too early. I don’t know what it was, but I didn’t even hear my alarm go off until 5:30a. That would be fine if it didn’t take me 25 minutes to get to work. I got dressed and skipped a shower :sad: and booked into work, to only show up 2 minutes after I was supposed to get there. I arrive in the middle of the DataCenter upgrades again. This time there seemed to have been less problems. Only the Citrix stuff took a while to propogate.

After work I booked it over to Dundee, and by booked it only took me about 2.5 hours, maybe a little less. There was some horrid traffic and construction along the way. Once I got there I was really kind of amused to see that Abby really lived a lot more out in the country than I would’ve thought. She just doesnt exude country girl qualities. But that was a good time, chilling out with her family. I love that group of people as well. Everybody seemed very easy to talk to for the most part. I had some fun talking to Abby’s old man and her attractive :shock: mother. That was enjoyable, then some time watching the Pistons game, and the halftime trip over to her old man’s place to catch the end of the game. I had a decent amount of beer for the day, so I ended up crashing over at Abby’s place. We had some great conversation as always, and eventually around 2 we decided to call it a night.

Today I woke up over there and took a shower. Then after Abby was ready we headed for some lunch over at Tubby’s. They do make some delicious sandwiches over at that there Shell station. I also got to see where she has spent so much of her time over the last couple summers. Then a quick trip over to Cabela’s just to browse the camping section. They had some fun toys, but it was just a trip to browse. After that the drive home was fairly alright. The band of rain that I had to drive through was horrid, there were times I couldn’t really see anything on the road. But maybe that was my fate for taking 94 to 131 to get home to avoid all the damn construction. I made it back to GR by about 4, just in time to go sign my lease and get the keys to the new apt. I like it, at least as far as I looked at it today. I need to spend some time over there with the windows open to air out the paint odor. But it is all good.

Tonight work was horrid. Darrin called in sick, I guess he could barely speak. But there was a really decent number of calls that came in. Thankfully, a few letting us know that the circuits were back up. But my average time between calls for the night was 3 mins 27 secs. That was a busy night. Though there was really only one call that I wasn’t sure on. I will have to ask Joe when he comes in. Or just clear it up when I come in tomorrow for second shift. I do have off on Weds, so I should still be able to have my folks come up and help me move. I look forward to that. I have a bunch of stuff to move, maybe I can get some of it before I come to work tomorrow night. I also want to knwo if the food over at Founder’s is any good, I might want to take the parents there for dinner.
