Good people are hard to find
Went to a goodbye party for someone who I've worked closely with in another department. He is one of those people who is extremely talented and sometimes during frustration even has colorful language. Not that colorful language is a bad thing. It's hard though to see one of those people who know their stuff take off to go to some place better. In his exit interview he did say that the place we work at isn't fun anymore. He's right. Even though it's challenging, it's not as much fun as it used to be and I can't pinpoint why.
I also got to see some people who worked in the newsroom that I hadn't seen in awhile. Last night I had a lot to drink and then a steak with some mashed potatoes at the Outback. Kris said her stomach hurt but I was fine for a couple of hours and then I just had horrid pains. Is it safe to eat at The Outback anymore?
I'm also working on relearning java. I did some stuff about 4 years ago with it but wanted to get into some of the newer stuff so we'll see where that takes me.
Oh and tomorrow we are going to go do the bridal registry stuff and go play with the laser scan guns. It should be FUN.

Outback is starting to suck if you ask me. I'm partial to Ruby Tuesday and Longhorn anymore if I want a decent steak. Hope you two are feeling better.

Did you eat the appetizers at Outback? I am convinved that the appetizers are the source of evil at the Outback. Too much grease for anyone to feel good about afterwards.

Yeah we usually have good experiences at Outback until this one. Hell we even had a good experience at the Outback in Bangkok, Thailand.
We skipped on appetizers so I don't know if it was just bad food or what. I had a couple of beers and she had a vodka and cran but I've never had alcohol make a meal bad.
