vernardSo this past weekend was quite busy. Friday night I was at work until 7:30pm. Wasn’t upset this time though. I was gettnig lots of work done and it was quite nice. Had ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reprobayt and the lovely chitownshae drop by for conversation. Managed to split a bottle of wine between us. I think reprobayt had a geekgasm when he saw all the look that myself, servingdonuts and skellington managed to acquire during a clean out of an old data center facility. I’ll be posting a list of the available loot that is up for grabs in the very near future. Should make a lot of you quite happy.
Saturday morning I hauled myself out of bed to go help a co-worker move. The good news: she was moving from one apartment in the complex to another apartment in the same complex. The bad news: It was one floor up for both apartments. Which meant a lot of stairs. I was also the only relatively strong person there so I did most of the heavy lifting. Oh yeah, that was also another perk, being surrounded by 4 lovely ladies the entire time :-)
I had to bail early though to make a meeting at 1pm with some fello ex-graduate students on a side project. I won’t get into the details but we made some nice progress.Now I just have to remember to work on the action items assigned to me.
That evening, we had the Casino night. And what a night! The guys built an honest-to-goodness crap pit. And we had three tables rotation in Pai Gao, Texas Hold Em, and Baccarrat. And yours truly was the bartender for the night. Just call med Diamond Joe :-)
Lots of well dressed gents and lovely ladies. MUst’ve been over 20 folks there. Lots of hor dourves and plenty of booze and soda. I even got to make a few of my lovely “Her Lady’s Aura” drinks. Although I finally ran into someone that I couldn’t place a flavor. I’m still working on that.
And the end of the evening, we announced top winners and awards.skellington took best dressed male and reprobayt took third place overall int he monetary category. And yours truly took “most popular staff member”. I think that it was a bit unfair as I was serving alcholo so effectively I was bribing people all night. I’m surprised that folks remember to vote at all with some of the drinks that I was making.
And on Sunday, I got to catch up withuxmal and his family which I have seen in a few years. The little ones have gotten decidedly non-little but are still well behaved and wonderful. And I managed to get my butt only mildly kicked playing Spades. I might even learn how to remember what cards are played eventually.
All in all, a fantastic weekend. And it helps make a crappy monday easier to bear :-)
