All About Bentley

I'm on call at work this week. I got paged an hour ago with a problem. I was praying it was something small and I could quickly get back into bed. I had to involve another department and wake one of their guys up. He's looking into my problem all the while telling me that the way we are doing what we're doing is wrong and there wouldn't be a problem if we had done "x...y...z". No kidding. I'm well aware of that. I didn't write the application, and I had the same concern during design. I passed those concerns along and was told that was the only option. Whatever. Learn from your mistakes. Except now its haunting me again a year and half later because *I'M* the one that has to get up in the middle of the night. Very frustrating. And then my laptop lost its VPN connection and I can't get back on. So...at least it's Friday.

I would like to propose a change to the English language. This change is in the area of our numbering system and would make it more consistent. I would like to start first with the words "First, Second and Third". I think it would make more sense if they become "Oneth, Twoth, Threeth". This would cause them to then fall in line with those that follow, "Fourth, Fifth, Sixth" and so on. Next I would like to move on to our numbering system, specifically the numbers 10-19. I think they should be changed as follows: Currently New Ten Onety Eleven Onety-one Twelve Onety-two Thirteen Onety-three Fourteen Onety-four Fifteen Onety-five Sixteen Onety-six Seventeen Onety-seven Eighteen Onety-eight Nineteen Onety-nine I think if we start with these changes, we can make the English language much easier to learn and friendlier to our foreign friends. Can I count on you? Come on, who's with me?

I really have nothing to say, I just wanted to express my love for Starbucks.

Having a vendor take you to lunch but then getting caught up in a problem back at the office that excuses you from the presentation of their crappy product.

For a minute. I needed my laptop at work today and forgot to take it. I had to go home and get it. Thats about 45 minutes round trip. Do I still get to take a lunch? Do I claim the mileage since I was asked to go home? Both good questions. I will assume the answers are "yes" and "yes" since they benefit me the most.

Well LTC is over again. We were in Tulsa for a little over 24 hours, but it felt much longer. We left the house at about 12:30 on Friday to do some work at church . Then we joined the caravan to Tulsa at 2. Got there about 3:30, and from then until we left Saturday evening it was just a whole bunch of hurry-up-and-wait. There were constant trips between the Tulsa Convention Center and the Doubletree across the street, where our church reserved a suite. It was our gathering place for meals and information. But there are only about 4 places to sit. Other than sleeping in my hotel room at the Courtyard, I was standing for the majority of the trip. It's exhausting. The kids looked most forward to swimming in the hotel pool. We got back to the hotel Friday night and got down to the pool at around 10:35. The pool closes at 11:00. The kids went in knowing they were only going to get about 20 minutes of swimming. Oh but wait. What's that? Some kid cut his foot on something in the pool

I took another one of those online tests. You know the ones, "What OS are you" or "What's Your Nerd Score". This one determined your color. I answered all the questions truthfully. This is what it came up with: "Your color is black . The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's
