If anybody cared, my posting absence has been due to working 60 hour weeks and not wanting to bothered with anything else once I get home. It seems the last three years I've had fucked up projects to start off the year ( Read more... )

I decided to bail out of work after a normal 8 hour shift today although I could have easily stayed and kept working all night. Plenty to do and I'd rather get to it all sooner than later, but Beth and I decided to go out to the Steakhouse at the Injun Casino. She called her Casino host and got us a comp.

No one appears to be doing much work in the office today except the offshore guys. I had to come in to at least pass off the on-call phone since my duty ended this morning. It's also a bit of a waste to take today off since they'll probably let us go around 2pm anyway so everybody is just wasting time until then. This gives me the weekend to do my ( Read more... )
