Basketball Jones…

I met up with my wife for lunch today. The food was provided free by the East Tennessee State Alumni Association. She’s an alum. The team is staying two blocks from my work, which is where they had their pregame pep rally type event this morning. They are in town to take on Cincinnati in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

I’m not an alum but I will be rooting hard for ETSU this afternoon. (In between my busy work projects, of course *wink, wink* *nudge, nudge*) I’ll be rooting for them because, well it will make my wife happy if they win, they just gave me a free lunch, being an Ohio State fan, saying “Go Bucks” and rooting against Cincy comes pretty naturally anyway, even if it is “Bucs” (Buccaneers) instead of “Bucks” (Buckeyes), and did I mention the free food, and the happy wife? Yeah, you see what I’m saying…

Go Bucks Bucs!

Other days, well, many things don’t work and everyone needs something from you now, and you just don’t see how you can possibly get to everything. Needless…

    That’s what my coworkers gave me today, when I told them of my after-work plans. I was making a trip over to my former employer’s to interview the consultant they are considering using to replace me as their emergency technical contact. Since they don’t have any IT people on staff, they needed me to meet…
