Pseudo live blogging my day

I had the idea a few months ago, but never really tried it.

Be warned! My days are usually very boring, so far today has been fairly eventful.


6:10 Alarm goes off

6:45 I am out the door with my school age children: MasterP and G1.

6:50 Bus comes and I am off to work.

7:45 Longer than normal trip to work. Drive distance ~15 miles. Did you happen to know that traffic in Atlanta sucks ass?

8:00 I make a flash with November Announcements and publish it to our intranet and welcome kiosks.

8:15 IT meeting. We discuss our victory at the Halloween contest yesterday. The sketch provides us with all the chances to make fun of the rest of the company to their face. More office politics BS ensues as it is announced another department will share 1st place with us. We're planning revenge.

9:00 I do all my SMS crap for the 1st part of the day.

9:30 I get my 2nd cup of coffee and oatmeal.

10:30 Zoned out and listened to the iPod, read some stuff and posted here. Copier dude is here to install big time new copier/printer/fax/coffee maker. I draw the short straw and am designated to hold his hand.

11:45 Set up the new print queues, send shortcuts to the new printers to the proper users. Explain to my boss how everything was done before he asks about it.

12:00 Lunch and a Haircut.

2:00 Run Afternoon SMS reports, Play a game of Pinball.

OI! I almost forgot to mention it is MasterP's 8th birthday!! Woot! He got what he wanted... a REAL football. Thats my boy.

2:15 Just read this: http://www.pokernews.com/news/2006/10/online-poker-players-rally.htm
IIINteresting.

3:15 HMM, Waffles left me a comment, and he was nice....I wonder if he started drinking early today?

3:30 I've read almost all the Bloglines from over the weekend.didnt leave a single comment...I suck..I'm ready to go home, but now I have to troubleshoot an Oracle problem....

4:00 Planning my escape.

4:45 I'm gone after a rousing game of ping-pong. Job is boring sometimes but the office rocks!

5:50 I pick up the little ones and come home. The kids go out to play and I fire up some spaghetti and meatballs for them....

6:00 Noodles are on, I sign up for the MOOK, I suggest you do the same!

8:09 Kids are fed and read to, they get 30 minutes of TV

8:24 Kids in bed. I started the Razz tourney with a tolken, I win the 4th hand with 8,6,4,2,A wow!.

8:27 I get $20 with jacks in my 50/1 table on this flop [Td 2h 5s 7c 2c]. Villain has the tourist. Donk half of that off on the next hand.

8:41 Dealer: iam23skidoo wins the pot (2,170) with 8,6,5,4,2 Zoinks! Thought I was dead for sure.....I'm in 4th place.

8:48 Win (1,270) with 7,6,5,3,2 2nd Place.

9:00 Back to my comfort zone. 23rd place ;)

I do hope you appreciate the genius of my play last night! I am extremely proud of my reading skills and patience. Hee Haw.

Tough break on the finishing hands. I fully expected you to take it down, you were on fiya. See ya next time.
