I’m in trouble now.  I’ve become addicted to BottleCaps.  Remember those candies that came in a big roll and they tasted like soda pop?

I really only eat them for the Cola and Root Beer flavors.  The Cherry, Orange, and Grape aren’t so original.  I always take a handful out of the box, eat all the Cherry, then the Orange, then the Grape.  When only the Cola and Root Beer are left, I alternate off eating one then the other.

Target sells them in jumbo size boxes, and I’m buying them two at a time.  Someone help me, please.

Koopa and I here in the blog have a little friendly competition. We’re trying to create blog posts that create lots of hits. So far, I’m totally kicking his ass, but I’d like to continue doing that, and I’d like to ask for your help.

Actually, you’ve already helped, and thank you. You are being counted as one of the people who viewed this post, and given it a hit. You can count once every day (based on London Time), so bookmark this page and check it often. I will post updates in the comments section, and I’m sure Koopa will post telling us it won’t work. I don’t think he likes to lose.

If you want to help kick Koopa’s ass even harder, ask as many people as you can to do the same thing. Send this link to your friends. Put this link in your message board signature. Digg this story, or whatever you use. Add it to your own blog. Be creative.

Again, thank you very much for your help.  Together, we are going to kick Koopa’s ass really, really bad.

As usual, the drive in this morning was horrible.  There was a couple of interesting things though.  First, 84 was backed up much more than usual…I wonder if there was an accident past the exit I got off of. 

Secondly, there was an awesome fog on 684.  I took some pictures with my cellphone and I would hope that one comes out.  The fog was looming over the cars but did not affect the driving.  It was about one foot above where the cars were.  It was quite cool to look at though it caused some more delay than usual.  I am sure me whipping out my cell phone and attempting to take pictures did not help.  Oh well…that causes traffic behind me (suckers) and not in front of me.

I then get off of 684 and this moron tries to turn down the street while I am driving straight.  He almost hits me (or I almost hit him depending on your viewpoint) and then RIGHT after this, a van tries to back up into me.  I had to beep my horn at two different incidents within 30 seconds of each other.  It is quite amazing!

Never doubt the idiocy people have while driving!

I am sitting here at work feeling completely unmovidated.  The only - I repeat - ONLY thing I have to do is update documentation which takes all of 20 minutes and I just do not feel like it.  I have been putting it off for 2 weeks now…and my boss is really into documentation.  There is no reason why it is not done.  I totally need to get my ass in gear.  I am hoping that coffee helps….

So Project Failure seems to be a success.  I am failing nicely :)  It seems that without any advertising, one person made it to this site and felt to comment on my topic about me being an IT GOD!  So far, in order to have traffic come to the site, GOD must be mentioned.  I will therefore, mention GOD about 50 times in this post to increase the floor traffic! 

GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD

In conculsion, I believe that I am keeping up with my promise to continue to fail at the whole blog thing.  And this is why bloggers hate you

I don’t quite understand why people complain when they get the email of “System Administrator.  Your inbox is full” This email is generated about 20 times a day (to make sure that you know, your inbox is full…” if it was generated less than this, people would complain that they did not get notified. 

I just had a person on the phone arguing me about how this is too many emails and started deleting emails from 2 weeks ago with this generated message….TRY CHECKING YOUR EMAIL AND THEN YOU WOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM!

 I do not understand people and why they think they are better than everyone else.  Oh well another day!

I just did my first presentation for how to use Outlook Web Access…it was interesting to say the least.  I really didn’t think that people would be interested in learning how to use OWA but apparently, I am wrong.  They were asking all of these wierd questions and just wanted to know how to do everything in OWA.  All in all, I believe that this was a successful attempt at a presentation…

So my wife has this 20 year old friend that she met through a christian group that she is a member of.  She calls me yesterday and was like, do you want to go get ice cream with Adam?  I was like….uhh…sure I suppose.

As we arrive at friendlys we approach a table and there is 20 year old Adam, 35 year old Father of Saint Marys church, 15 year old boy, 16 year old boy.  It felt like I was in highschool all over again except now I WAS the person sitting at the table where everyone was like, I love those people while deep down they hated them.

I now remember why I hated highschool. :)  Needless to say, I do not have much to relate to the younger generations so I minded my own business for most of the night.  I did get to eat ice cream, so who can complain? 

 My wife really needs to find people closer to her own age to hang out with.  At least we are only 26 but that is still a 11 year spread.

Well I figure I will update you all on my ghost project.  I have imaged all machines.  I am now going to all the machines with the following process:

1. Label them with machine name.  CTM###

2. Join the computer to domain with labeled machine name

3. Add Eastern Admins as local admin

4. Reboot

5. Login as me and install Macafee and Landesk

6. Turn off.

Exciting I know!  Hopefully I will have these computers done today because I am going to pack them in my car tomorrow.  DON’T LET THE FUN TIMES END!

I would like to take a moment to remember the loss of life due to September 11th.  I remember clearly where I was when the towers collapsed.  I was in a computer class in college with my favorate professor learning about information systems.  The class was cancelled that day but we continued because the towers had only been hit and had not fallen.  My professor was Russian and he proceeded to tell us his viewpoints on terrorism and how it will affect the world.  He was pretty close on a lot of his points.

Lets take a few seconds to remember the past and hope we don’t make the same mistakes that caused such tragic loss of life!
