OTP

I do have to admit I am tied to my Blackberry. We are on a family vacation in Hawaii. I made a committment to not use my phone for work purposes while on the trip unless it is an absolute emergency. So I have not done so. For my wonderful spouse it is a bit different. Here are just a few pictures of her on the phone in the last 6 days we have been here ( I left a lot out):

WIFE SWAP

There is a reality show on TV called Wife Swap....Anybody interested?? Hawaii next week and a potential trip to the Cayman Islands in April

Restaurants

If anybody would like to know how not to be welcomed back in a restaurant, I can introduce them to someone who knows how

The Gauntlet

There was a movie in the 90's called The River Wild with Kevin Bacon and Meryl Streep. There a dangerous part of the river called the Gauntlet where nobody came out alive. Based on my bride's recent posts on her blog I have been ridging the Gauntlet and am not sure when I will get out.

I am.........Good

This post is dedicated to fellow bloggers and is meant in complete jest. The email thread speaks for itself. Here it goes:


Gents, (sent to my boss, the sales rep, and our Area Sales Manager from my project manager)
Here are Andrew thoughts on Mark's performance at our client (actual name kept out for confidentiality I'll be addressing Andrew's concerns about the training this week in a separate email. Netapp will be providing some of what he thinks he's lacking in their training.


(this part was sent by our client to my project manager)Mark has done a superb job with the installation and configuration services so far. He has been a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with him on future projects with Sirius (like VMWare, etc) should they materialize. As you mentioned, we lost nearly 3 days of configuration and knowledge transfer time that was outside of Mark’s control, so I’m certain that we have lost some significant value in his services. As a follow up, Mark has gone out of his way to work extended hours to facilitate the minimum requirements that we need for our scheduled training this week. I’m certain that if we had the full time to work together, I would bring much more to the class and be much more confident in the management of our NetApp.

You can never be too safe!!

About 3.5 years ago we bought a small safe. When we arrived home we did not open the safe or put anything in it. We stored it somewhere. After 2.5-3 years of not using it I returned it to the place where we bought it in the box and with the receipt. I did not communicate that with the spouse. Not one word had ever been said about the safe except for a couple of times I had mentioned returning it until yesterday. I received a phone call from my lovely wife asking where it was. I had mentioned to her that I returned it. That was apparently unacceptable, disrespectful and rude. Asking me where she wanted to store these things, I responded by saying "Put them in the safety deposit box that we pay for every year."

We will be getting another safe that we may or may not use.
