The only people I know OF who have tickets are enormously wealthy (amd were on their way to Boston today). Grrrr.<BR/><BR/>Good luck on the VA, Jim! I didn't know you did NaNoWriMo. I look forward to hearing about your progress. Good luck with that too! I'll be participating too, but on a very limited scale.Anne C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09444051201220766948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-34340789970152726162007-10-23T15:47:00.000-05:002007-10-23T15:47:00.000-05:00I am saddened by my complete lack of World Series ...I am saddened by my complete lack of World Series tickets.

No details are being released, but I'm betting on some sort of DOS attack.<BR/><BR/>So my mission has continued into today - to noon mountain time, to be exact. Still needing luck, Stationites!<BR/><BR/>And Jim, good luck with the V.A.

Standing watch like that, you might as well have joined the Navy. Can't tell you how many times I had the mid watch (Midnight to six) and then had to work a full day on top of it.

I just got back from my halfweek of gallivanting around Indiana, haven't had adequate food or sleep in days, and now I'm signed up to be a night guard for a group of schoolkids visiting the aquarium next door. Naturally, the institute director has decided to call an all-staff meeting at 8:30am tomorrow morning, right after I'll have been nightguarding until 6am, so it looks like I'll be napping in the car until the meeting. Then I get to night guard some more tomorrow night. Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure out how to fit my dayjob work in there somewhere...MWThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446603415730525882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-71009975508969034352007-10-22T17:03:00.000-05:002007-10-22T17:03:00.000-05:00Today I'm on a mission - a mission, I tell you - t...Today I'm on a mission - a <EM>mission</EM>, I tell you - to score some World Series tickets for games 3, 4 or 5. I'd like all three, but will be ecstatic with one game. <BR/><BR/>At first I thought I was SOL, but it turns out there was some sort of <A HREF="http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/mlb/article/0,2777,DRMN_23924_5728556,00.html" REL="nofollow">server meltdown</A> at the outsourcer that does ticketing for the Rockies. <BR/><BR/>So there's hope!

(Not for me, but I've a very supportive husband)<BR/><BR/>I'm also installing open source games on a lab of computers for an after school gaming extravaganza that starts tomorrow at the school district. It'd tied in with tutoring At-Risk kids, so I'm hoping to tantalize those kids with multiplayer awesomeness.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to try the NaNoWriMo thing this year too.
