Smiled: Working my way through 4 seasons of Breaking Bad. Just finished Season 3, Episode 7 where Hank was attacked by the Salamanca twins and took care of them. Awesome! Can't believe that I didn't start watching this show until recently. It's definitely one of the best ever TV series. Looking forward to watching all of the shows and then checking out the Racketboy thread on the series.

Thanks, it does go by fast. College and even high school still almost feel like yesterday or just a couple years ago.

Fogo de chao is a nice brazilian steakhouse. They have an incredible salad bar (has things like smoked salmon fillets on it) and all you can eat steaks and other meats. Workers walk by with steak, filets, ribs etc skewered on swords and cut off pieces that you want until you can't eat anymore. It is amazing but expensive.

Ticked - our VP was fired today. Meaning the new guy can come in and axe off most of my department.
Smiled - VERY good chances that my current boss, and the sycophant, will both get axe and I go back to my old job.

This does not in any way, change my plan for my certs (though that has changed a bit. MCSA and CCNA are the two primary now).

I never got past (nor do I think I finished) watching season 1. :( I suck at keeping up with shows on tv. The episodes I did see were awesome though, and I think I've caught glimpses of other seasons here and there.

@gtm - did you find that the show picked up or did you love it from the get go? I wanted to love it and it was recommended by my bff, netflix, because I said I enjoyed "Dexter", "Six Feet Under", and "Sons of Anarchy" - but my wife and I just couldn't get into it - we got through episode 4 and gave up on it. To note, I like Rome, OZ, etc - but did not like Weeds, and it felt like Weeds to me. A show that seems to think its funnier or more shocking than it is.

Crossing my fingers that you emerge better on the other side of the shitstorm.

Thanks Hobie. The good news is that they probably wont do anything for atleast a month, meaning Ill hit my five year. After that, if they fire me, they have to pay me my bonus AND a severance package of my pay for the rest of the year. It means I cant work for a competing company for the rest of the year, but thats fine.

In other good news, one of my old reps came up to me today and told me that he bought me a 360 for Christmas. Turns out his mother got sick and he has been out since New Years. A nice little pick me up that I will get tomorrow. So now I have two 360s...
