Yesterday was the Christmas party for our company. I learned that my co-workers like to drink. Big surprise right, well that means we just get along swimingly, cuz I like to drink.
We went bowling, I sucked bad…the lanes were really oily, so the spin I usually (uncontrolably) put on the ball did absolutely nothing. So I won a prize for worst bowler, which is cool cuz that means I get to go out to eat at Chipotle for free sometime here soon. We had free drinks (my boss bought them) there, and then went to eat steak. The steak was really good, and they had a great potato bar. More beer there, then back to the building for a white elephant…which is OK. Then I had to go home because it was getting late, but everyone else went out for drinks at this bar down the road.
In all, it was really good to get to know some of my co-workers in an interesting situation like this. I had a good time, and I think I might go out sometime with some of them just for kicks. Good to know what people like to do, that way you can participate in it as well.
Also, A big two-page ad was taken out in the NY Times today. Read the slashdot article to see the picture of the add here. I liked the add…good stuff.

Guess what…. funny funny story…
Today, I had the little “Windows Update” thing appear on my screen’s lower right corner, and not wanting to be open to vulnerabilities, I clicked on it and then proceeded to update my computer, and even did the restart while I went to the ladies room.
Anyway… since then, Firefox was super-duper slow… like wouldn’t launch for forever, and then would launch like five windows b/c I’d have hit it five times in the time I was waiting – and I am not an impatient person, and then wouldn’t go to the sites I wanted it to go to. Finally, it quit launching at all. Coincidence? Perhaps. Either way, I opened up IE (which opened like a dream, go figure) and went to Mozilla and got the final edition like you said I should have, and installed it. I think it was a bug that I was experiencing, because now I can right-click and open new tabs of whatever I want. And now also, Firefox works again. Curiouser and curiouser.

The other nice thing about open-source software…it gets updated faster as long as it is popular.
I’m glad that worked for you.
