well the move is on. this friday we will be packing up the house and moving back to Nixa. I know, my profile says I already live in Nixa but right now i live in Monett. a perfectly shitty little town full of illegals working at Tysons. the whole damn town smells like chicken parts and shit. Nixa is home to me so were moving back.  ive been looking forward to this for amost 5 years. thats how long weve been in Monett. we moved here for my job and that was a huge mistake. the one downside is that right now i live 5 minutes from the office and where i am moving to is 45 minutes.

well so far this month has been a little crazy. the first week i was on vacation. i already need another one. the second week found me in Boston at TechEd. for those eho dont know TechEd is a Microsoft conference that is held every year in June. ther is lots of training and vendors giving away stuff and it is a pretty good time. it is generally a giant gathering of geeks but still a good time. i learned some cool new stuff and made off with a shitload of freebies/ :) now this week i am in the office for the first time this month. you can imagine how far out of the loop i am.

i havnt posted in a while. mainly because i am on vacation. which means i gave the world a reciept to kiss my ass for a week

I hate tuesdays. hate em. everything freakin breaks on tuesdays. everything. I went on call Friday night for my week. everything went fine for the weekend. no calls all weekend. until F-ing Tuesday! i got called at 2:46AM, 6:40AM and 7:30am. each call was because a server went down and the damn helpdesk is too stupid to tell the guy on site to just turn the damn thing back on. the one good thing that has happened today was lunch. i got to go home and see my wife and boys. the whole morning was shit. this afternoon i get to have a meeting. oh boy. so im sure the afternoon will be shit too.

Ok. Im new at this but here goes. just thought i would put alittle bit about myself here to try to get me started. Im 32 and have been married for 11 years. we have 2 boys ages 5 and 3. I also have one old dog, she is a 12 year old Lab Chow mix you got dumped on my front lawn when she was about 4 weeks old. it was during a sleet storm on Super Bowl sunday so i couldnt leave her. and shes still here. She is also about the only thing i have left that i have had longer than i have been maried. Oh well.
