New promotion in the Family


I decided to create gmail accounts for my entire family today. Not really sure why but I figured that way we could all have the same account format plus I just really like gmail. I even went in and added all of us to each other address book and setup chatting. I sent out an email to everyone telling them about my little plan and also included the fact that I have set up a family blog site though I have not posted anything on it yet.
About 5 minutes after I sent the email my sister calls and tells me that I should be promoted to CIO of the family. Since she is the CCO(Chief Creative officer) and Marketing head I figured that she new what she was talking about. So I would like to formally announce my promotion to CIO of the P Group.

I hope that with my years of expierence I can bring about lots of growth and business to the P group. The P group is celebrating their 37thyear in business this summer. They had some great additions to the company come about back in the mid to late 70's. I was lucky enough to join the company during this time and I have since worked my way up.

So tomorrow in order to celebrate my promotion I will be going to the cubs game and taking a half day. Its good to be your own boss.

TK421-Take 2



Okay, I am going to try and recreate my literary genuis that was yesterday ruined by Blogger insensitive feelings towards me. I have decided to not take it personal and understand that it was purely based on business reason. I am not going to move on.

Disclaimer: Since this is my second take at this like all Sequel it of course can be no where near as good as the original.


After 4.5 years living with my roomate, I have finally found out what his name stands for. TK stands for Technical Knowledge. On a glorious Sunday afternoon in the recent past my roomate(TK), decided he would like to burn a DVD copy of the game Riven(Myst 2). The file he download was a DDA file which I had never heard of. From there he found some software and which created a third DVD-Rom drive. We were all confused and began to investigate it. During this procedure we found a software called Alcohol and tried to uninstall it. Both times were tried it locked the system up. However, after the second try I tried to go into safe mode to see if it could be uninstalled there. At this point we had successfully caused the computer to go into Blue Screens of Death loop. Bill was of course really excited about this because all of his pictures and resume were on there.

The decision was made to just reinstall the OS onto the drive without removing any of the partition information. This would make sure none of the data was lost. While downloading a completely legal version of the OS, TK treated us to Blizzards at the Local DQ.

We tried installing the OS and the abort codes where called in by Billiam. The drive was showing that the whole thing was free which meant that all of his data was lost.

Stay Tuned later for the stunning conclusion of TK the TechKnow guy.

Work meetings-New rule


You can not cancel an 8am meeting less then 5 minutes before it starts. I specifically woke my ass up early to get in at 7:30 in order to make this meeting. Of course I get a message stating the meeting is cancelled right before I get ready to head to it. Boooo. The PM is on my shit list for today due to making me wake up early.

Blogger-made the shit list today


Earlier before lunch, I spent about 20 minutes writing a post for today that about yesterday. I went to publish it and I got an error saying server not responding. I tried to go back and at least copy out all the text that I wrote so I could paste it back once I could reaccess the site but all my work was lost. So today #1 on my shit list is Blogger. This middle finger is for you!

Holy Crap Golf Season has begun



Went golfing with my Dad and Keri yesterday. Here is a picutre of me after putting. Few things I learned yesterday:

1. Keri is a better athlete then me.

2. If I am going crazy I should go golfing. It really relaxes me.

3. Hutch likes dudes.

4. I suck at golf.

5. "God he is the biggest bitch of them all." (South Park)

Sorry Number 5 really isn't true. I plan to live my life from this point forward on these basic truths.

It's merely a flesh wound


Friday night Keri and I went to see Spamalot. It was freaky hillarious. Basically Holy Grail on stage. If you live in Chicago I highly recommend getting tickets. The music was pheonaminal. The coolest part about Friday's show was that Eric Idle came out and thanked us to the show.

This was the first play that Keri and I will see as part of the Broadway in Chicago series.

Keri's wide world of blog

Keri has now joined the world of blogging. I could not find a picture of her on my work computer but I figured this would be just as fun to post. Please check out her blog.

Did you miss me? Won and OH

So I am back to blogging again. After a few days off(trust me I needed the rest), I have decided to grace you with an update. My last post became inaccurate a few hours after I posted it. I guess TK got back to our place with Grass seed and a hose. So they started working about 2. I didn't get the vmail till about 4:30 so I joined them a little before 5. We ended up working till 8 that night digging up the dirt and trying to smooth it out then spread the grass seed and fertilizer. Keri then made us some yummy chili cheese dip. MMMMMmmmmmm..

Sunday night I went to my first Cubs game of the season. They simply put kicked ass. So I am 1-0 for the season. Barrett with his grand slam was definitly the play of the night for me.

Monday night Bill and I planted the flowers you see along the brick on the lefthand side of the photo. I will keep trying to post changes as I see that they are noticable. I also want to try and find a picture of how it looked before we started.

Operation Landscape-Aborted

So for about a few weeks now the third roomate has been saying we need to landscape the backyard. We rent our place so it kind of sounds a little weird to fix up the place but we have been in our place for almost 5 years now. I really dont know much about home repair or landscaping so any little bit I am willing to volunteer to help. Due to inclimate weather the operation has been aborted. I am a little upset but I guess it gives me time to study and just hang out on the couch today. So happy Grab Ass saturday everyone and enjoy the day.

Getting off on the right foot

So this morning, I am sitting on the bed trying to figure out whether my socks are inside out or not. So once I have step 1 accomplished I move on to my step two. Looking at which foot the sock belongs to. At this point Keri proceeds to tell me I am crazy and ask me where I learn this stuff from. She asked if my mom taught me. I really didn't see the weirdness in this. I had thought everyone did this. So she dared me to take a poll today and see how people put their socks on.
I understand that a brand new pair of socks have not yet molded to a foot though. So this is for socks you have had for a while. Do you check to see whether a sock is for each foot or you just grab two and put them on.

Lets go cubs!
