So I'm sitting in the IT guy's office here at our Ohio facility asking for help with a problem and I look up above his window and notice a clipping out of a magazine he's cut out and taped to the wall. It reads: 70% of e-porn internet traffic occurs during 9-5 daytime business hours. Yikes I think to myself. This guy is pretty cool, but I'm paranoid enough to believe he's reading this as I write it. I wonder if our company was ever to enforce it's internet policies if we'd have have anyone left?

House is sold. It happened shockingly fast. Now we need to get cracking looking for a new home. We're closing so quickly on the sale of our home that it's clear we'll be gypsies at least for a while.

So last night I was here, out of town, at our Ohio facility. This week is a crazy stress week here as we wrap up a major project. I decided I'd be a good guy and get to bed early last night. Ha. I laid down around 9:30 and didn't get to sleep until after midnight. So much for getting extra rest in exchange for sacreficing my usual hunt for debauchery.

I found the blantant difference in the commentary about the republican national convention between fox news and cnn startling and disturbing. I refuse to watch the local news and generally stay away from any TV news. I loathe reporters - and don't trust any of them. Bono rules. Zell Miller cracked me up.

A really talented engineer fucked us today. He's a bright guy but he opened his mouth in front of a certification person and was very effective at giving the impression we have no idea what we're doing within just a few sentences. A number of us are stuck here at work late tonight capturing documentation of how some of our processes work. As a member of management I plan to look the other way should the group decide to give him a swirlie or blanket party.
