Day In The Life of Baz

Well someone told me some time ago that I should be more sociable and try to make more friends. So when some of my coworkers offered to have me over for poker night, I figured why not?

So this is how night one goes. There’s a $20.00 buy in . That’s what everyone pays to have a stack of chips in front of them for the night. Now, from here it varies depending on how many players there are, but usually the 1st place winner gets most of the money and the 2nd place gets $30.00 back .

Now, night one was the 1st time I’ve played this game. I even brought along, what I now call, my lucky cheat sheet. It’s just a list of hands and stuff, nothing useful. I actually managed to stay in until 2nd place and got back $30 bucks. So I’m $10 up and loving it.

Night two, didn’t go as good. I can’t remember when I got knocked out, but it was way before 2nd place so I was out $20.00, for a net effect of $10 under.

There is a process that we run on a particular client (our largest) every week. It runs at 7:00 PM on Sunday evening and another process is supposed to pick up and complete on Monday at 1:00 AM.

We recently made some changes to the process and we are using this week as a sort of test run. So I just decided to pop in a have a look see to make sure that everything was running smoothly. Well, it wasn’t.

Phew! It’s a good thing I decided to pop in and look it over. I knew what was wrong and could fix it. Still trying to figure out why, but that could wait till tomorrow. But then something strange happened. Now keep in mind this was at 10:35 PM on Sunday night. While I was Remote Desktoped into my computer at work, I noticed an email pop up. I thought it might have been some residual message that didn’t pop up in Outlook for whatever reason. But no, it was a current email sent out seconds ago.
