I was invited over to my friend's for dinner tonight, and being that he's my friend and his wife is a great cook (and super cool) I gladly accepted.  I know the diet took a hit, but man was it good.  She made this Rueben dip that was so good I got a recipe for it, one that I now share with you:

8oz shredded Swiss cheese

1/4lb chopped corned beef

1 cup sour cream (fat free ok)

1/2 cake of cream cheese (fat free not ok)

1/2 can drained sauerkraut (not sure on the size of the can, looked about 8oz)

So late last year our facility got its own computer server.  What that meant for us was secured drives and some other speed-up stuff.  It also meant we could host a website for our facility on the company's intranet.  When the IT guy told me about this I was pretty excited...I saw the value in being able to upload instructional and informational docs for all (within our facility) to see, and some stuff for anyone else in the company to view.  Bottomline: great communication tool.

The Go-Gos are not only still around and performing, they're in their 50s:

And they're still hot, so there you have it.

Eventually I want to get a nice little condo, but until the job situation solidifies (ie, I know I'll still have a job) I'm not going to go looking for anything.  So that means it was time to renew my lease in the apartment again, which I did the other day.  To my shock, for the 3rd straight year my landlord did not raise my rent.  He's a pretty cool guy, he owns a Pakistani restaurant (which makes sense, being that he's Pakistani) and works 7 days a week there.  I've been over there for dinner, it wasn't bad.  The spices were a bit too exotic for me though so that led to...problems...but i

The last few weeks....well, truthfully the last 4 months, but moreso the last few weeks...we've had to buckle down at work and do a lot of self-examination to tighten up our game in preparation for the inevitable scrutiny we would come under from our new ownership.  This year the eye of Sauron (if you will) has turned upon us and fortunately all our ducks have been lined up and we've been able to show that our 99.999% (no exaggeration) accuracy rate at our distribution center is completely legit and achieved without smoke and mirrors.
