Drew convinced me to go to the AYWKUBTTOD* show at the Annex last night. It was loud and rocking and much fun, moreso than their Source Tags & Codes release. The main craziness was the bass player swinging his instrument like a bat, breaking it and other equipment.

Thanks to a tip from this week's trainer, I stopped by a fitness club this evening. I'll probably join soon. There are perhaps 300 active racquetball players there so it must be good.
So far this week I've captured over 30 dreaded Asian lady beetles.
I'm gearing up for an exam at work on Friday....wooh!
Someone with my name has unclaimed property being held by the State of Wisconsin. I received a claim form which shows the account ($50.40!) was not mine.

Orientation has been easy.....mostly overviews, demos and finding out who prefers video games over bowling.
The commute to work is just over nine miles. Today this took 30+ minutes morning and evening. Rock out!
SBC set up my home phone today just like they said they would.
Work was a lot of introductory stuff. Training will take three months and should be fun.
