Oscar

Someone at work is calling me Oscar, and I don’t think he’s intentionally getting it wrong. It’s happened three times so far and the first time or so it was inconvenient to correct him, so I’m just letting it go and will see how long it continues. About to keep a tally…

Funny thing is he’s not the first person to get my name wrong and call me Oscar in my life. I think they just remember my name starts with an “O” and somehow that’s the first name that comes up. Do I look like a grouch or something? =)

Play Day

Our team hit our goal for the quarter! Regardless of hitting the goal, we decided to have a “play day” to rest from all the hard work we did, so we went to the lake and went kayaking/canoeing. Here are some pics:

As always, more on flickr.

I’m going to sore tomorrow from it, I’m pretty sure. =)

“Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I’m showing you the door

‘Cause I gotta have faith…” - George Michael

Why...

… hello there, Internets!

I decided to do something for April Fool’s at work yesterday and spawned a ticket related to our products (I’m leaving the attached image referenced in the ticket out, sorry =):

Klingon ticket

The ticket then got passed around to various parties including some directors and a VP. Here are some of the memorable ones:

This reaffirmed the notion that I’m working at the right company. =)

“Making young girls pine
I don’t have the time
Babies, get in line
I’ve got a protractor
Got a stapler now
it goes Ka-ching!
gotta have the math club crown me king
gotta rock the screen with the cosine graphing
on my calculator
If you’re up
and if you want a piece of me
wave goodbye and blow a kiss
Cause you can’t handle this” - Five Iron Frenzy
