Gotta Love Getting Monday Off

Usually Im in bed by midnight on Sunday nights, normally have to be in the office by 6 AM on Mondays.   But since I had to work Saturday, I get Monday off.  My boss apparently wasnt listening when I told him I was taking off Monday, because he simply agreed and asked me to close his office door on my way out.  Gotta love asking questions when the head honcho is distracted. 

The fact that today was my first day away from the plant in 10 straight days (4th of July included, those bastards) apparently did nothing to dissuade the weekend supervisor from calling me at 7 AM and asking me to solve  a problem with a plant scale/PLC issue.  Its like someone shaking you from a deep sleep and saying "Quick, solve this differential equation while I beat on your head with a rabid squirrell."  After dealing with yet another crisis at the plant via the telephone, I got back in bed and tried to catch some more sleep, but Im afflicted with a brain that doesnt like to "shut down" once its been kicked into action. 

I got up, helped my wife get my son ready for church, we actually left on time and got there before the service started.  Maybe my job should intrude on my weekends more often?  Its like the worlds most irritating alarm clock! 

Enough bitching.  Im kind of in a gaming lull right now.  Believe it or not, I just put Halo 2 in my 360 for the first time.  I got my rig back in January, and I havent played Halo since last year on my old Xbox.  Im insanely rusty.  I could use a refresher course on Live if anyone would like to offer any suggestions, Id be totally up for them.

Im patiently awaiting NCAA 2007 and looking forward to playing a decent Next-Gen football game.  Madden 2006 was a travesty on the 360.  I think I had it 2 weeks before I traded it in. 

Ive been playing Guitar Hero lately, trying to get through on the highest difficulty.  That game ROCKS.  If you havent played it yet, go out and buy it now.  The sequels supposed to be coming out in the fall, and I cant wait for it.  Saw a review of a wireless guitar peripheral on IGN today..

Check it out if youve got 50 bucks to drop on it.  Ill stick with the one that came with it, until the sequel comes out, its supposed to have dual guitar multiplayer, two tracks at once from what Ive heard.  Should be fun.

Ok, enough of my ranting.  Im off to play.

Sheesh
