80's Music Test

I only scored an 80.95...which really suprised me. After meeting Brent in '85, I spent the next few years catching up on my classic rock, and didn't listen to the radio that much...yeah that's the reason!

See if you can do better!



Let me know how you do. I know that JD and JP are gonna embarrass me with their scores!

 
New Picture Gallery!
O.K...I stayed up extra late after getting home...just to get some pics posted. It's a pretty good collection from late-June to present. Hope you enjoy!

Man, I'm lazy!

I KNOW, I KNOW....it's been forever since I've updated the blog. I've even received threats of hacks if I don't get something posted soon. Fall has come upon us much quicker that I ever expected.


ConocoPhillips is still keeping me busy during the night, and TCC is still getting a piece of me during the days, and on Fridays. The e-mail migration project that was supposed to be completed by Dec. 1 looks like it might be drawn out until around the first of next year. They've put me on five 10 hour shifts, so I'm getting quite a bit of overtime. The checks are nice, but burnout would be inevitable if there wasn't a end in sight.

I've been gettting a few hits on my "real" job search. The most promising is a site manager position with Pinnacle tower in W. TX. I had one (phone) interview with a couple of the regional managers last Friday...we'll see if they were interested enough to take it further.

Griffin's been growing like a weed...he's into everything, keeping Amy plenty busy with all her "free" time. I finally managed to upgrade my digital camera to a Canon S230...so I've still been taking pictures like crazy. I really will get some online soon to amuse and amaze you (or bore you to tears).

Still listening to lots of music. One thing about commuting for 2 hours a day...the car makes a great listening room. I'm anxiously awaiting the new Dream Theater album, Train of Thought. It comes out this Tuesday, 11/11 and is said to be very metal \m/ !! In the meantime, I've been listening to a LOT of new stuff, particularly from Porcupine Tree and Opeth. These are two bands almost unheard of in the states...with lots of originality and talent.

I upgraded to MS Office 2003 last week. It has a nice clean "XP"-type look to all of the programs, which I love...but the changes in Outlook 2003 are the best features to me. I'm sure I'll eventually have time to explore the other features (particularly the XML integration) in more detail.

Guess I better get back to work...still have an hour left before I get to head back to T-town for the night. Again, sorry for the lack of updates.

See ya!

Always the summers are slipping away - Porcupine Tree

Summer is miles and miles away - Opeth

But those days are gone now
Changed like a leaf on a tree
Blown away forever
into the cool autumn breeze - Dream Theater
