Well, it's offical, my project in social engineering is a success. After watching a bud light commercial (I'm pretty sure it was bud light) from a few years about "Johnson" and his steaming cup of coffee (you know the one where the guy puts a steaming cup of coffee on his desk, leaves the door open and lets the rest of the office believe he's there all day while Johnson is off having sex, watching the baseball game, etc). Well I did that today with a bottle of water at my bosses desk. And would you believe it? I had people claiming they saw my boss today. Note to self, next time I need a day off, I'll pay somebody to open the door to my office, and put a bottle of water next to my keyboard. People are dumb. Time away from work is good.

Hmm...it's been about a week since I've last posted...what's been happening in Stu Land??? Lets see...Friday night I had a serious lack of energy...stayed home, watched old school with Charlene and was passed out by 11:30pm (urgh...i'm getting old)...Saturday we played football in the afternoon (always good...seems like we're slowly getting together a weekly game) went to Niagara in the evening...always tons of fun down there...hey is there any better feeling in the world than putting some old random CD into the CD player while hammered, and realizing that you had some pretty kick ass music on that CD and you forgot all about it?? I had one of those moments Saturday night...all the classic songs from 2000-2002....ok maybe not ALL the classics, but just enough to make me want to play Counter Strike again.

Went to Daily Planet afterwards...almost got caught up in a brawl...back to the hotel with the gang (we had 10 people in a room!!!)....well 10 does sound like a lot, but the room had 3 double beds and one pull out couch...it was huge, great for partying though!!!! Woke up around 4am...put my arm on Charlene when I realized there was another body there...thank god it was a female (get your minds out of the gutters...nothing happend!!!!!)...it was a strange feeling...being in bed with somebody who I had no clue who it was...turns out it was just Ana...but I was upset I wasn't consulted on this first.

Lets not talk about Sunday's Lions game...up $20 in poker last week though...that's almost 3 lunches!!!

Here's another update from me..down $30 in the last week at poker...that includes one tournament win (dammed 4 player tournaments)...got around to re formatting my computer at work...it's sooooo much faster now, I should have done this a long time ago...still looking for a new job though...just getting tired of this commute each morning.

Anybody else try that the new google desktop...it's pretty cool..I love the constant slide show...keeps me entertained espically through the boring work day...it's always good to see friends and family flashing by...which reminds me, I gotta bring the camera with me this weekend for Christina's birthday party...all of us will be there so it'll be a great time!

Man, I have a massive craving for a pizza sub right now...it'll have to wait 5 hours until lunch though...anybody think it weird that the HR department gives you a thank you card after you get them a printer? Strange...and kinda creepy if you ask me....but I'm not going to complain about being recognized for me work efforts...even if it's only HR and not a real department...Vegas in less than a month...that'll be good...I've got my wallpaper as a picture of the strip I took from the Eiffel tower...with a great view of the Alladin (the hotel I'm staying at)...I guess it's a motivation of sorts...I heard Try Honestly as soon as I got in the car this morning...followed by Wonderwall...not if that doesn't start off my day the right way, I don't know what will.

Well well well...where have I been? Complaining about gas prices a lot lately. Now seriously considering leaving my job (well...first I gotta get my two vacations paid off after that I'm free to go). Probably sometime around the begining of December. At least that way I can use all of my vacation days at work up and collect all the benefits I have coming my way.

Football season starts really soon! I'm excited about it, time to watch some Lions football. Speaking of which, I made it down to Buffalo last friday to watch their final exhibition game. I know it's tottaly meaningless, but it was good to see the Leo's win in person for once!! A ton of fights at the game too. It's bound to happen when there's that much alcohol going through that many male bodies.

Ended up losing $100 at the poker tables at Seneca on Friday night too...had top card on a king high straight...some guy kept fishing with A/K and hit it on the river. That cleaned me out.

I've been watching a bit of the coverage of New Orleans sinking. Very depressing to see how slowly a goverment reacts to a tragedy like that. Makes you wonder though, if it takes 5 days to get troops in, then we can take over Washington DC in that time!!! Lets do it!!! Repeat the war of 1812!!!! Hahahahaha...alright enough of that, needed my one crack at the US government and their historic military defeat at the hands of the Canadians and British soliders.
