Wow, another loooong work day today.  Spent over 3 hours on the phone with one
customer.  I'm beginning to really not enjoy this job.  Stage 1 reached for
Roger to jump to another group.  Talk of travel now.  Stage 2 is impending at
this rate.  Got 2 more customers to try to support now on top of my normal
internal projects to support.    

In better news, my weekend was pretty good.  Spent the weekend down in Ames
with a couple of friends.  Ended up playing some hot seat Might and Magic 5. 
Unfortunately, we never did complete the campaign as 2:30 am came too quickly.
 After a few hours of restless sleep on an ancient couch, I was alert enough
for a food run.  We then went over to do a home brewed campaign world composed
of Final Fantasy and D-n-D version 3.5.  I played a character for a guy who
couldn't make it.  Had a good time rolling the old dice again.  Home and
asleep on the ancient couch by midnight.  Up Sunday morning so I can attend
church.  Went to the church I attended when I was in college at Iowa State.  I
even had a minor epiphany while I sat in those old pews.  Something I can
apply now to my life as I looked back to those college years.  Here's to a
little divine wisdom. 8)

Otherwise, I found out Sun. night that my brother lost the engine on his race
car due to an oil filter fault.  So, he is pretty bummed out right now.  This
won't be a cheap fix.  He has a backup engine, so he'll be racing come this
weekend.  Looking forward to the 4 day weekend I have coming up.  Doesn't look
like I'll be getting the week off with the rate that work is piling on. 
Although, I have to spend 2 weeks of vacation yet before Oct. 1, so I may just
say 'screw it' and take those days anyway.  Depends on my mood come Friday I
guess.  Tonight's blog entry brought to you by "Fire Starter" The Prodigy.
