Well done, Echo!!

I've got tons of work to do, but I can not proceed until a developer finishes with some programming changes I need done. So I sit and wait.

i actually have my hands full, so life is good: office is empty today, but we have a brand-spankin' new exchange server (that no one is relying on yet, so little pressure). said exchange server wasn't receiving email this morning :eek: so i actually had a project :D

and 84 seconds, whoa

Nothin worse than being hung over at work...I'll probably be hung over next Wednesday...going to a concert...I'm considering being designated driver so I'm not tempted to get phucked up and feel like crap all day Wednesday...

and I'm bored today and every day as well...

I should have played hooky today to go get my 7" travel frame and get all the parts swapped over to it while I await my DC fork that is on the way! :devil: :D

Sigh - I am in no attitude to work. I just want to leave. Little thing called "short timers attitude".:p

I had to deal with that yesterday. Played at a bar on Tuesday with an über guitarist (I say that because he had a loop station and was covering 3 parts all by himself). Some ass out in the audiance thought it would be funny to send us 2 shots a piece every few songs... we were pretty hammered by the end. I got out of there at 2:00 and had to work at 8:00 :dead:

Nothing like not giving a rat's ass about stuff that used to seem like a big deal. Puts it all into perspective.

Boredom is the word around work these days. There is drama at the company blah blah, so work has been slow.

That's fine with me. I've perfected the art of zoning out. I've researched things I've always wanted to know more of by way of surfing the net.

Things like:

Brown rice vs. White rice...what's the real difference?

What has the cast from Step By Step been up to lately?

How is your poo affected by the types of food you eat?

That's how my days have been going lately.

Basically yeah. He had a boss loop station and would play 1:00 of a song then loop it and play some complimentarys stuff... loop that, then sometimes he would solo. So he was playing 2-3 parts all by himself at all times. It felt like there were more than just the 2 of us on stage... he was extremely good, I hope he wants to play more.

84 Seconds?! Wow. I think I was able to get down to 94 once and I felt immortal. Yup, I'm a dork.

Work is finally starting to pick up for me again. I was getting kinda bored for about a week when a lady came back from maternity at work and took her work back. Well, long story short, I made it known to one of my bosses that I was at a stopping point with EVERYTHING. The past two days they started reviewing everybody's workload and have already started giving me some stuff I've never seen/done before. I'm stoked, I HATE boredom.

What's new with the cast from Step by Step? Check out www.wtbr.com for some old school sitcom action.
