it’s late. i’ve been having a hard time getting to sleep lately. then, when i get to sleep, i tend to wake up around 3 or 4 sneezing and needing a drink. i’ll get up, then sleep in and be late for work. yeah, it sucks, if i’m going to be late to work, i’d at least like to get extra sleep in return…
i leave for london next wednesday. i’ll be gone for a week and a half. most of my time will be spent helping with the office move, relocating several servers, and getting the new internet setup with the new voip system, the isp is bringing in.
work has been going better recently. we’ve finished the first round of pci tasks and now we’re just nailing everything down and getting things lined up to complete our full baseline audit by year end. we’ve got a lot of small projects going on here and there, but things are becoming more manageable with better communication taking place between all the worker ants and the management.
the dogs are good, and mandy and i are doing great. we spent this last weekend with our friends and family, and mandy seems to have gotten a lot of photo edit’s off of her plate. the rest of this month and on into october look pretty busy for us, but we’re looking forward to our cruise next march.
we watched the first episode of the 9th season of the shield tonight. looks like this season is going to be good, but bitter sweet knowing this is the planned final season.
you guys take care.

it’s been so long since i updated. i need to get back to writing some real content… think i’ll put it on my calendar…
quakecon was alot of fun. i went in without any expectations, and it really turned out to be a good relaxing time. jason even came up from work friday night.
this weekend, hambone and i went out to rogcon to watch the hardworkshop. it was interesting. i remember when quakecon was that small. my advice to the rogcon guys would be to offset the quakecon even, by holding their weekend-o-games in the late fall (it’s not like texas fall’s hold much bad weather).
anyway, back to a work week. all of the directors and senior managers are at a staff retreat this week, so it should be pretty quiet around the office. hopefully i’ll get some good time to push some PCI stuff on through. the PCI compliance audit we’re doing has generated a lot of work. not hard work, but very time consuming work. our deadline is august 31. i’m sure i’ll be putting in some serious hours over the next few weeks. then, the second week of september, i’m off to london for a week to assist in the office move going on. i’m looking foward to going to london, i’m not looking foward to the travel.
mandy got a d-300 this weekend. she was messing around tonight and snagged this picture.
we went walking around the stockyards tonight, i’ll get my pictures up sometime soon…
happy monday, talk to you real soon.

this weekend turned out to be quite productive yet more stressfull than i would have liked. saturday morning, mandy’s car died on the way to her mom’s house. hopefully the parts will be cheap and brandon and i can do the work so we’ll skate by for a coupe hundred dollars. :( after getting mandy’s car towed to the house, her dad took her to their house to work on our wedding invitations with her mom. i went and moved the rest of the boxes to the house and then went and picked up new hoses for the washing machine after finding out that the rubber hoses i have now leak.
saturday afternoon, after the hockey game, hambone and david came over and helped me move the washer and dryer to the house. afterwards they hung out playing hockey on hambone’s xbox and i went to benbrook to pick up mandy. on our way back we stopped off and mailed out all of the wedding invitations. we all eneded up having an adventure at taco cabana then rounded out the evening playing counter strike. sounds exciting right?
sunday mandy and i both slept in. mandy and i spent the morning being lazy and finally decided we needed to get around to lunch and then try to go register. by 9pm we had spent the afternoon registering at crate and barrel and had spent 3 hours registering at target. needless to say, i never got around to taking new pictures of the house or posting our registry information on chucksandboots.com.
and now, we’re back to work. well, most of us, mandy has the day off. :-p

work is quiet. i had to work till 1:30 christmas eve, then today and tomorow, and i’ll have my friday off work tomorow. i took monday off work so i have a full 5 day vacation. jenny and josh came over last weekend and josh really helped get the paint primer knocked out. he also helped me knock out the quick set left on the floor after pulling up the tile in the front entry way.
this weekend, mandy and i hope to finish out the paint and the floor should be in sometime, so we may start laying it. monday evening we’re having bunches of friends over for food and games to bring in the new year. :) if you want to come, let me know, i’ll give you the address!

Well you and i
We’re buddies
And we’ve been since we first met
Me any you
Well weve sure been through
Our share of laughter and regret
Lord knows weve had our bad days
And more than once weve disagreed
But youve always been a friend to me
You can be so stubborn
Theres times I think you just like to fight
And I hope and pray
I live to see a day
When you say I might be right
And theres times Id rather kill you
Than listen to your honesty
But youve always been a friend to me
Youve always been
Time and again
The one to take my hand
And show to me its okay to be
Just the way I am
With no apology
Oh youve always been
And you will till God knows when
Yes youve always been a friend to me
