Poolside Thoughts…

Posted on August 10, 2008

Last night was fucking kewl. Doctor Samuels came to chill at the beach with us. It has been a while since I seen him. We swam, puffed cigars at the beach, went and had a phat steak dinner, hit the hot-tub… fucking bonus! We had planned to get up while I was down here and we made it happen!!!

So I’m sitting by the pool reading my book and the weather is fucking perfect AGAIN! Saweeeeet. Its kinda funny tho. Saturday is the day that new peeps come into town down here and fill up the place.

There are totally new faces, new tattoos, new personalities & new accents. This is the first time we have stayed down here for longer than a week. It is pretty neat to see. 95% of the place must be newbs. Heh.

I still hold the record for tattoos and beard mass from what I have seen. Peeps keep givin me props on the beard. Fuck. Yeah!

One thing I find myself shocked at is the amount of moms with fake boobs. Seriously… like 1 of 3 has a job. Zoinks yo…

Most Awesomest Week Evar!

Posted on August 8, 2008

Fuck yeah. Vacation is just what I needed. To get the hell out of Virginia. To run away from work. To not hear from anyone for 10 days. It has been working out to plan pretty well. The weather has been absolutely perfect the entire week. Low 90′s, partly cloudy, not a damn drop of rain in sight. Some pretty neat heat lightning in the evenings but that is kewl.

Lots of time on the beach, lots of time in the pool. Lots of drinking. Lots of shopping. Lots of reading. Lots of just fucking relaxing. Soooooo nice. I snuck a peak at my work email and things seem to be going smoothly in my absence, which is relieving.

Lots of crazy shit in the news while I’ve been away… Brett Favre (its Fav-ray people) – this missing girl in Florida. Lots of crime on the news down here. Pretty crazy. Most of the talk has been about the weather though. So perfect. Last year it was craptastic. Thankfully this year has been much better!!! I am getting a tan, which is nice. I was able to swim from one end of the pool to the other underwater with just one breath… that was fucking kewl. 2 years after quitting cigz I can… Continue Reading

Vacation, FINALLY

Posted on August 2, 2008

After a fucked up couple of weeks I finally got to run away to Florida for my summer vacation. Work was insane this week. I guess that is kewl cuz its over now, and I get to party for 10 days without having to worry about it. Well, try to. Hehe.

We launched the new Autos main page Thursday. One of the biggest things we have done this year, which is surprising cuz we have been having a killer year. I think its pretty solid. We pushed it live and have only been notified of a few minor issues so far. No news is good news in my book. It is super hard for me to just walk away from it the day after, however.

I also found out that my team is getting split up a bit. Kinda bummed about that – kinda happy about it. They are going to be moving away from me. Good that the old stompy guy is moving, but shitty that my fellow dev lead is moving away. Sometimes, she’s the only reason I can make it throughh the day. Sigh. They are talking about moving my other engineer down by me which is kewl.

Lots of mixed emotions this week. Not really something I wanted to… Continue Reading
