First Post From Work
Hopefully I don't make a habit of this, but I'm not that busy this morning yet, so why not write a blog.
My excitement is building with every day we get closer to baseball and Opening Day. Since I don't really care who wins the Superbowl, I need the baseball season to start right now. Till then I guess the Illini will have to tide me over.
Speaking of the Illini, man was that a frustrating game to watch yesterday. Losing to that queer-looking bunch of Iowa Hawkeyes is not cool. But at least that queen fairy of them all Puke Retcher isn't on that team anymore. We'll be fine, it's just one loss, but our defense on the road doesn't look so impressive. Especially Stick Smith, he's just terrrrrible.
One thing that doesn't excite me that much is the Sox getting Bartolo Colon. Somehow I think he's just gonna continue the tradition of offseason free agent pitcher acquisitions that come here and don't do jack once the season starts. David Wells started it, then Todd Ritchie continued it and took it to another level of sucking. Have I ever mentioned how much Kenny Williams blows goats? If not, maybe I will have to write a whole blog on that. Maybe when the season starts.
Just got my first Performance Appraisal System (PAS) report done with my supervisor. My score came out to be 3.54, somewhere between "Met Objectives Completely" and "Met and Exceeded Objectives". And apparently I "demonstrate a conscientious attitude" towards my work. Nice. Hopefully next year I can raise my PAS score to the 3.6 level or above?
One thing about my supervisor, he's one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I think he's great, but I have to say it's hilarious to watch him type. He's been here 35 years, is well respected and when he talks at meetings, everyone shuts up and listens. But he still uses the "two index finger poke" system to type on the keyboard. Seriously, it took him like 5 minutes to finish 1 sentence, looking for each letter individually, pressing the button, then looking for the next letter, screwing up, then looking for the backspace button. A little hard for me to avoid snickering in that situation, but I was strong.
Haha that reminds me of when I was trying to teach someone how to play Tekken Tag Tournament. I will protect her identity, but it was a girl and that probably explains the difficulty right there. I think girls just aren't born with the ability to tap buttons quickly on a controller. So that basically rules out pretty much all of the combos and special moves you can do in Tekken. I was like, "OK, tap Circle-Circle-X fast" but no matter how hard she tried, couldn't do it. Now this girl is not stupid, when we took classes together at school, she almost always beat me on the tests. But she just can't tap for the life of her, when to me and most of my boys, it's a way of life.

Someone just paged "Frank Thomas" here on the PA system. Once in a while "Jerry Rice" gets paged too. I wonder if those are real guys who work here, or it's just a joke. But those are pretty common names I guess. And I don't think people here would joke around on the PA, cause Security is nothing to mess around with at this place.
