Carol and I went to a Chicago Wolves preseason game at a local ice rink. It was nice seeing the ol' boys again. Somehow, this year it seems easier for me to make the transition from watching baseball to watching hockey. I was happy to see Kari Lehtonen with us again, even though I'm sure it's because of the lockout so that he can get more time in the net. We've got a few really tall guys this year, like rookie Lane Manson who is listed as 6' 9", along with Brian Sipotz who is listed as 6' 7". Hopefully, they will stay with the team and contribute. That's the problem with preseason - you just don't know who you've got on the team and you try not to get too attached to them because they could be gone in a week. Speaking of a week, opening night is a week from this Saturday. They better work on the Power Play before then...

Well, I started a new job tis morning, working for a company that had a long-standing Deskside Support contract for a company and has since lost the contract to another company who is supposed to take over the duties "soon".
I don't want to do Deskside Support, but, hey, it's a job. But talk about going back in time... It's NT 4 and Token Ring! Yuck! And it's about 5,500 people in one complex of buildings. Talking about walking! Oh, and I don't have a cube - there are none availble. So no cube, no chair, no phone. Oh, and I have to start at 7am tomorrow. *yawn*
Flipside? It's nine miles from my house. Nine. Know how fast I can get there with traffic flowing in the opposite direction? And the main cafeteria (yes, there are multiples) is bigger than some Food Courts I've seen at some malls. And the quality is way above average.
