  1. Never was a playa, was never real good at it. And when you aren't a playa, EVERYONE (especially the chickas) can tell. I was always in a relationship, and gave my best until it fell apart. I would date around a bit, and find one I liked, and repeat the process over. Not any more of course, married for 4 years, and all is great.
  2. Oh yea, that's what all those calls and visits were about. I just thought my landlords really, really liked me. So you're saying they wanted money? Can't believe I missed that. Matt A well-informed person is somebody who has the same views and opinions as yours.

  4. ....moved as much as I have? Probably should have made some type of poll out of this. My wife and I are moving during the next 3 days, only 5 to 6 mile down the road. However, in the 4 years that we have been married, this will make the sixth move. Anyone top that? Matt A well-informed person is somebody who has the same views and opinions as yours.

    My cube... II

    Cube?....What's a cube? Office?....What's a office? I share a 'room' with 3 people, if we were in it at the same time. Most of the time, my office/cube is a room with about 10 servers and a core switch in it...other times it's any given classroom on the campus, fixing some teachers computer.

  8. I'm definitely a fan of trying all things 'natural' to get you to la-la land. But, if nothing else works....my wife was having trouble sleeping well a few months ago. She talked with her dr about it, and dr gave her some zoloft. Zoloft is usually used to treat depression, but as is the case with most medications, they have found that it helps with other things as well, and in this case, sleeping troubles. My wife swears by it...no noticeable side affects, it didn't make her stupid happy, didn't make her drowsy, just helped her to sleep better. Hope you get some rest soon.

  9. Jeepers, you ought to try managing IT for a public school in texas. A total of 3 staff memeber, yes that's 3 in the department for a 4A school distrcit (total STUDENT enrollment of around 3500). We manage, 20 servers, 600 PC's, 400 Mac's, and probably 25 to 35 network printers on 2 domains. We have about 400 'full-time' users, and we also maintain user accounts for our students from grades 5 to 12 (approx 2000). We have a multimode fiber backbone with around 50 to 60 switches and a t1 connecting one remote site and a t1 (about to add a second t1 for load balancing) to the internet. We have to maintain the the network infrastructure AND provide the end user/help desk support, with 3 people. We are GOOD at everything, but GREAT at nothing...sort of the jack of all trades in IT. Oh yea, the pay sucks too. Ahh, I love my job (actually, I really do).

  12. In the words of Homer J Simpson, and I quote..."WOOOHOOOO". I had forgotten I entered. Glad I came back for a look on dz.com, otherwise I might have gotten a shirt in the mail and been wondering about it.

    I hardly drink the stuff. But I remember when I was a kid, my mom wouldn't let me have any at my grandparent's on christmas eve because my grandpa would practically put an entire bottle of Jack in it. Matt A well-informed person is somebody who has the same views and opinions as yours.

  15. Same as you, except in Tejas, we can't get them year round. But, when they were, watch out, the guys were gonna have a big ol rocket war. The best was when a buddy of mine (on my team, too - thank goodness), showed up with one of those 'grenade launcher' type things mounted on a 'wooden gun' (he always was a little off balance). So the war commenced. My bother and his team, collectively put all their fireworks in one big pile, so they all knew where to return for reloading. Only 5 minutes into the battle, this buddy of mine fires the luckiest shot in all of firework battle history, from literally a 100 yards away, STRAIGHT INTO THE BIG PILE O FIREWORKS. Needless to say, the ensuing panic-striken, butt-hauling of my brothers team from their 'hide out' was hysterical. But not nearly as hysterical as the huge 'explosion' of fireworks that followed. We declared ourselves the winners of the war Matt A well-informed person is somebody who has the same views and opinions as yours.

    Welcome to the sky!! It seems that any job would be boring compared to skydiving. You're right, it is hard to sit behind a desk. All you do is think about when the next dive will be. I work as a net admin for a public school system. The good side of it is that I have 4 or 5 campuses to cover, so I never stay in one place too long (unless I want to), and therefore get to be outside for small stretches of time. The bad part is, when the weather is great, like it has been the past week and a half, I'm always thinking about what kind of skydive I would like to be doing.

  22. Against my doctor's orders, just about anything with caffeine, mixed with the prednisone I'm on gives me a wonderful buzz until around noon. Coming down ain't no fun though . Dr Pepper has a new drink called Red Fusion, very yummy - had one at 6:30 a.m. on the way into work. Give it try, if and when it makes it to your area.
