Today was another crazy day for me running all over the place. I got up this morning and drove out to Buffalo to work for T-Mobile. Then I had to drive to Rochester to do some work up at Greece-Ridge Mall for them. This was my third trip to that store location. I was able to determine that their equipment there was faulty and we came up with a game plan to get that all taken care of but it will have to wait until Tuesday when I am back from Tampa. Then I had to run to the Marketplace and Pittsford Plaza locations that I was at yesterday to pick up a part that I had accidetally left at each of them. Andy met me up at Pittsford Plaza to take me up to my car deal, Vincent Mazda, to drop off my Mazda 6. I need to have a recall taken care of as well as an oil change and to have the hood repaired after having that incident with that chunk of scrap metal. We dropped off the car and Andy decided to come with me to do some work out in Syracuse on Erie Boulevard since there wasn’t any way for me to get him back to Geneseo and still make it out to Syracuse before the store was going to close. So we drove out there as quickly as possible. We tried to call the store ahead of time to let them know that we were on our way but they turned their phones over to night service early so that they weren’t hearing us at all. We got there about eight minutes after they had closed but two of the sales reps were still there closing the place up. It took a while to finally convince them that they needed to let us in. They were very adamant about not letting us in. But Andy finally convinced them that it was in their interest to have us do the work then (I am sure their manager would not have been happy if they would have found out the next day that we hadn’t been able to do our work and had to charge double because they had turned off the phones early.) The work went smoothly and we were out of there in about twenty minutes. They were still closing when we left so we had very little impact on them at all.

After work in Syracuse, Andy and I had to run down to Ovid to meet Nate with Min’s dress for the wedding that we are going to tomorrow. We were really pressed for time because we had Min’s car and Min needed to get to work with it and we had a lot of driving to do yet. It was pretty late by the time we got to Ovid. We made the pickup and headed out as quickly as possible to get Min’s car to her. We managed to get home in time for Min to only be 10-15 minutes late to work. There was a lot of rain from the hurricane and that didn’t make things any easier.

Today I am working a contract for T-Mobile / Deutche Telecom. I am working in Rochester today and Buffalo and Syracuse tomorrow. It isn’t much of a contract but I have done work for them before and they are always nice and low maintenance so I am happy to do the work.

The work ended up an all day project. Eric went with me to the first location up in Greece which made the time pass a little bit faster since I am just hanging out in back rooms installing new switches. The work is good and easy. Then I ran over to Pittsford and worked for a little while and then it was on to Marketplace. After hitting all of the Rochster sites, I had to run back up to Greece to fix something that didn’t get fixed previously. Min came up to meet me after I was done working and we got dinner up in Greece. Then she did some dress shopping and I went over to Barnes and Nobles. I wasn’t able to get the work done in Greece so I will have to return tomorrow.

September 8, 2004: Blogrolling Images

I am glad to be back home. It is nice to be here for a change. I get to be here for a week or two at least. Last week, I took an undeveloped roll of film that I had found in my camera bag over to Wegmans to get them developed. I found a great picture of Andy on that roll from many years ago. The roll was about seven or eight years old. There wasn’t much good on the roll.

I thought that it would be great to have some of the gang’s portraits on the site. I thought that it would really add something to the site. Especially since it will allow us to find ourselves when searching online better.

The word of the day is RAIN. The hurricane has brought a ton of rain our way and it is just dumping it all over here. It has been raining all day.

I spent the day doing some work around the house and doing homework. I have tons of homework that I need to get done right away so I am going to be around Geneseo for the next few weeks getting back on track.

Don’t forget, there is a big game this Friday night!

Min and I are driving north back up to Geneseo today. We slept in a little and then tried to drive up to Baltimore to meet John for lunch. We didn’t end up making it to meet him, though, because we got lost in Baltimore (bad directions.) So we lost a lot of time trying to find the restaurant.

We spent the rest of the day driving. Nothing much to report today. We arrived home safely. Min had to rush right out to work as soon as we arrived home.

September 6, 2004

We spent the day relaxing and recovering from partying last night. Neither Min nor I left the house today to do anything more than to shop for some ice cream. We watched a lot of television, lots of cartoons. We also watched The Russia House and Dreamcatcher.

Tomorrow we are driving back to New York. Min is back at work at the Fairview tomorrow evening.

For those interested in the Friday Night Game, there is going to be a big one this Friday night. Andy, Tony, Jeremy and I are already on the dockit and Min has to work so we will be going all night.
