So today I will recap yesterday and today. So work wasn't too exhausting yesterday. Just busy work. Made the day go by faster. Then right after work Carl, Jeff and I went to Madison to taste the delectible wings! They were JUST like I remember them. Covered in sauce, just warm enough to enjoy with your fingers and they brought me a cup of the Gold Feaver sauce for dippin' my curly fries in. JUST like I always like it! I got to see my buddies, Dusty, Jason and his gf Beaner, Miles, Bobby, Jung, and Phil. It was a good time! Pictures of the event are soon to come once Miles emails them to me....

Today I spent the whole day in a training class for the application that I support. It was pretty educational. Then I got off work and came home. I found out today that Clinton became a new father today. Congrats Clinton and Michelle! I got home and mom was not in the best of mood. I guess she's been stressed, I just wish she didn't think to take it out on everyone else. Not really fair. Dad decided that in his computer wisdom, that by unplugging the router that it would fix the problem with mom not being able to print. Those years of networking and printing experience paid off....NOT. So I had to go and fix the problem. Turned out mom's computer just needed to be restarted. So yeah, I am hoping that the night ends quietly and that mom's vacation (Friday and next Monday) will calm her down to normal levels.

Wish me luck,

So, my dad is trying to kill me. Late last week we started having issues with our water smelling like rotten eggs. Dad tried turning up the temperature on the water heater to see if that was the issue. It wasn't. It made for a REALLY hot shower though. So then yesterday he decides to pour 3 gallons of bleach into the inlet to our house water hoping it would disinfect our pipes or whatever that was in the pipes. What an awesome feeling to shower in warm pool water. For the entire day I smelled like bleach. I had a headache. My skin itched and my eyes were bloodshot. It was AWESOME! Dad then asked me later "How's it goin Chlorine Kid?". ARRRGGGG. He figures that at least I am disinfected now. Its so awesome to feel clean....who needs skin anyways? I've always wanted to be a blonde...NOT! Hopefully this is the end, but if he is really trying to kill me, please, let this be my testimony if it ever goes to court after I die.

Other than that...pretty uneventful day. I did some stuff with our Software DB application this morning and did some software testing this afternoon. Kept me busy for most of the day. A funny story from work though....I was working w/ Dan O. from Internal Dev and he was at my desk and my phone started ringing. Since I can't answer the phone, since I don't know how to help the customers yet, I have kinda zoned out the sound of the phone ringing, but Dan didn't. So he looks at me and says "You're phone's ringing" and I subconciously thought "well, Dan knows the phone system so he must have known that the call was for me" so I go to pick up the phone, then it occurs to me *DING* "Adam, you don't know what you are supposed to say or do with this customer why are you picking up the phone?". I said "wait, what am I doing...." But it's too late. I answer the phone a fraction of second later saying "....................Hello?" *long pause* since I didn't identify myself, the department or the company. Then he says "Is this Support?" VERY confused. So then I freak out, look at phone as though I was a monkey and it was a giant computer. Some how Tomi from across the hall heard me and saw on the phone system that I picked up the phone and came over and had the customer hold on and she transferred it to her desk phone. It was the funniest thing for me all day.

Tonight is Talladega Tuesday, so we'll see how that is....

That is all.

Ok, it's taken me a day to make one post for the entire weekend. I've been recouperating. I am not going to get into the details of the weekend, or the wedding, or any other events. I am just going to say that the wedding was fun...15mins of pure nuptial bliss, followed by a awesome meal, I got to hang out w/ my friends from USD, and then the dance followed. I had a great time, made some great memories. Congrats Heidi and Nathan!

I came home on Sunday and met up with Dirk and Jamie at Cabela's for awhile. Then when I left cause they said they were going home, I was leaving Cabela's and started to turn south on highway 37 thinking that I was going back to Vermillion as well. Didn't realize it until about 1/4 mile later and then turned around and went home....NORTH of town.

The rest of the day was spent relaxing at home. I talked to my buddy Clint that lives in Yankton yet. Who *says* he is gonna come up here sometime soon once he has a car he can trust to make it to Mitchell.

Work today was pretty uneventful, but I had a bunch of busy work so the day flew bye. I got to shadow another of my co-workers today too.

I had to take the Silver Bullet to the shop today to have the body work done on it. Finally I will have the scratches removed and it will look like new again! The guy said it should be done by the end of the week. They gave me a nice loaner car too. At least when compared to my experiences in the past. It is a tan '05 Ford Taurus, fully loaded. Not as sporty as my car, but it is comfortable and better than the beasts that Rasmussen Motors always gave me in Vermilion.

Jeff, Carl, I, and maybe some others are probably going to Talladega Nights tomorrow for cheap movie night. So that should be fun. Then on Wednesday we are going to Wing Night in Madison. That should be fun as well since I haven't been back there for about 2 years.

Alright, That's all,

Hafner OUT!
