the price is right

  

Rajon Rondo is the MAN! Holy craptacular crapbags, Batman! Woo! That was fun to watch. Well, the parts I got to watch anyways. For some reason I told some friends I would come look at their wireless router setup at 6:30 on wednesday, the game being at 7:00. D'oh! Anyways, listened to the game on the way over, watched it while I was there.
I had originally set up this access point, so I felt obliged to fix it (getting paid helps too). Doing trouble shooting over the phone the week before, the wireless signal strength had steadily decreased over time, probably due to neighbors getting WAPs for christmas. I was able to get it fixed over the phone, but it eventually stopped working again. After coming over to look at it, I found the wireless link was fine, but they were getting a private IP from their ISP. So I sit on hold for about 20 min waiting to get through to tech support, and it turns out they didn't pay their bill. So no big deal, I get paid for my time, and leave. I was watching the game most of the time anywho. So on my way home, April calls me and tells me that the neighbor of the people I was working for called because he had hit my car. I didn't even notice. So I ended up getting paid about $20 to get a large dent in my drivers side rear door. Good thing my car is a complete POS or i'd be pissed. At least the guy was nice enough to call me. I'm sure it must have been embarassing going over to his neighbor to get my number...
In other sports news, Joe Crawford is still dumb. He admitted to leaving because of lack of playing time, and now is bitching because UK won't let him out of his letter of intent deal. Don't see how that's UK's problem. It was his premature, selfish decision to leave. He wants to go to Michigan State, but I doubt Tom Izzo would have his team ditching ass. He'd be smart to come back here and see if he can just finish out the semester. I hope it happens, Tubby lets him back, and makes him sit the bench for the rest of the year.

So in the IT dept., we just all happen to eat lunch the same time 'The Price is Right' comes on. It's become a bit of a running joke since one of our co-workers, Tony, hates the show (although I'm starting to think it's just an act). I dunno why he did this, but he found a site that has links to tons of TV Show theme songs. So now every day, at 11:00, 'The Price is Right' theme blares out across the NST area, serving as a makeshift lunch bell. Hilarious.

I haven't really talked about Vocare at all, so I suppose I should. I had a great time. It was a chill weekend and a lot of fun (plus awesome domain food). I almost always have fun at the domain, although more and more people have started to disagree about the direction some things are taking. We had some lame weather at times, but sunday was beautiful. All the candidates (read: non-staffers) had a good time, which is what's important. Staff (especially Amanda) did and awesome job, my small group was awesome, and I got some hilarious video on my camera phone. I will post it as soon as I get some bluetooth action with which to transfer stuff off. The most important/promising thing that I saw was a lot of people in my age group that were ready to take some action and get something done. The church doesn't really offer shit for people our age, and the only way to get them to is to make them. Certain people think this is an impossibility. The old "sure it sounds good but it will never happen in real life". But we have an awesome Bishop, and a lot of very cool people, so I don't see any reason that we couldn't do something. Even if we all just get together for beers occasionally, that's a step. Oh well, I've got lots of things that I think the church should do. Some day I will be King of the Church. And my proclaimations will come down from on high. All will be right. Yessssssss....

Somewhat related to that, Justin Gabbard gave an awesome talk at Vocare. Unfortuantely it wasn't written down so I can't post it. Maybe I can convince him to put it in written format, although some of it will be lost. The content was awesome, but another part of it was really good delivery. I just wish many of my friends could have heard it because I think they would have gotten a lot out of it. I guess I will have to start tape recording my life so I don't miss things like this in the future.

I know everyone is sad to hear that my screenshots from World of Warcraft didn't turn out so well. They were all too dark for some reason. I will try to get some better ones soon. I know everyone is itching to see pics of my badass Night Elf Hunter.

I'd like to write more about work, but I keep reading stories about people getting fired for blogging disparraging comments about their workplace. I don't have anything negative to say at all, but now I'm paranoid. Oh well.

TTFN!
