Kansas City Shuffle
So work continues on. I kind of stopped blogging last week, but basically work continued on as normal through the end of last week. We did do our water balloon raid on the Harney Lastoka team Thursday, but while the kids got an A+ for stealth (our rivals never knew what hit 'em), they got an F in aim (they only actually hit a couple of the team ( Read more... ) -
Damn
Even though I more or less predicted the ending of The Departed, it was still a hell of a suspenseful ride getting there. And you know, a movie like that can't really end any other way than the way it did. And there were some hella fun plot twists that I wasn't expecting along the way, not to mention 2 and a half hours worth of unbelievably ( Read more... ) -

WAY too much time in the van
I really wish our project sponsors had more consistent work for us to do. I like the variety of the change of locations and projects, but at this point, it's getting frustrating because we spend so much gorramn time driving!
Today was definitely the extreme example of how much time we can waste in the van. We literally circled the freaking county. ( Read more... ) -
Weird Day
Ropes course with facilitators who didn't seem to know how to handle 14 year olds and who didn't seem to like us all that much
Having to sit in the vans for a half an hour to wait out a lightning storm which begat a number of things:
Van rocking contests with other vans
Being squirted with wiper fluid from my neighboring team leaders in their van

Looks like we got some imminent violence!
I think two of my team members may be forming a couple...great, that's all I need. They certainly have been pairing off a lot lately and worked together all today, and Ted also noticed it and the other corpsmembers were ribbing them a bit, so I know I'm not the only one to have picked up on it. So to that I say...gah.
But at least they worked hard ( Read more... ) -
A couple of the million reasons I love Firefly
Mal: "Well look at this. 'Pears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? "
Zoe: "Big damn heroes, sir."
Mal: "Say there, doc - Now don't you think you're takin' this persecution complex of yours a mite far? Why don'tcha just... step down off the pyre. "
Simon: "It's a stake, sir. Not a pyre."
Mal: "Cut her down."
Patron: "The ( Read more... ) -
I Love my Freakin' Job
Other than the fact that my nose is seriously stuffed up and my eyes are so itchy and bloodshot that I look high, I am doing quite well and had a very good day ( Read more... ) -
Hooligans! All of them!
Last weekend was great. I spent it up at the cabin with the fam, celebrating Father's Day with my phenomenal Dad. A good time was had by all as we hiked, picnicked, took in the scenery, and relaxed. Sunday night I came back to Boulder and had dinner with Greg, Meevs and Adam. It was a great time and after two weeks of trying to blend in with ( Read more... ) -
Comcast can kiss my ass
I don't have the energy to go into detail about all the time I've spent this week on the phone with tech support trying to fix my cable and internet, but suffice it to say I came home last night at 11pm to find my internet not working and my TV completely out. Needless to say, I was furious. Three calls to tech support and one visit to the Comcast ( Read more... )
