UPDATE!!!!!

Alright, the much anticipated update is now here...

I will break it down into nice little sections for your enjoyment:

Work: Tomorrow is my last official day working full time as the Help Desk Manager, so what will I be doing after that? Well it turns out that I am going to be going back to my roots and working in the computer lab for 5 weeks. I am going to work 8-12:30ish every day at a pretty good payrate for what I will be doing. I guess I consider it payback for all the work I did feeling totally underpaid. So what am I going to be doing? I am going to sit on the computer all morning, play games and what not, and monitor the computer lab. Basically I am going to be punching print cards and sometimes helping students. It should be alright and I still have my afternoons off.

Guster: Last night C-bob and I ventured up to Omaha to see Guster in concert at Sokol Hall. The opening band was New Amsterdams from Lawrence, KS (great town, btw). They were pretty good, I had not heard them before (unless you count the ride up to Omaha) so I didn't know their songs well, but they seem pretty cool. I had a great time at the concert. Guster played a tight show and the crowd was pretty good, at least from my perspective. I spent the whole night standing by the stage, which is an interesting point of view really. I told C-bob I should have brought a camera so I could start a collection of pictures looking up people's noses. Who knows, it sounded good at the time. After we got back to Lincoln, we stopped for tacos, I do like the tacos.

Thursday(today): Today was not a good day, more like one of those bad days from hell that everyone seems to get from time to time. Work was just crazy, we were way understaffed being I was the only technical support person in the building from 8 to 9:30, so I was running the Help Desk and the Computer Lab at the same time. I had someone walk in with a laptop running Korean Win2k who needed his network drives mapped, people lined up to print, a student needing help with Publisher and the phone kept ringing. I also had to help set up the technical aspects for a video conference on Monday between to systems that don't seem to want to communicate with each other. We figured out a good work around and hopefully it will work out fine on Monday. And do to a freak accident, my cell phone no longer functions, I tried to get it replaced but they told me we would have to pay for a new one, which was really confusing to me. Ah well, I made it through the day and even didn't totally suck at pool over lunch, I can finally start hitting some stuff in. Pool is fun once you start actually being able to play.

My Evening: After the last week of business, added with the overall stress of the day, I decided to just chill for the evening. I watched the movie Slacker, took a couple videos back to Hollywood Video, filled my gas tank, grabbed a slushie and headed to my bro's. I am house sitting for him, which is pretty awesome considering he has a sweet home theater type system in the basement and a wireless network. I've been watching TV and plan to watch a movie or two before I head home.

Well, there you go... you are all in the know now.
