1.5 hours in, no work done
1.5 hours in, no work done
I've been here for an hour and a half today, only taken 3 calls, done jack other work. On the brightside, I only have a half day today so I can leave town (Chicago) and drive to Novi tonight for my Grandpa's 100th birthday celebration this weekend, so I'll be visiting Ann Arbor tomorrow. I doubt I'll get much done in the next 2.5 hours.

Anyone know what happened with the Henry V themed "Dear Diary" that was on the home page a few minutes ago? It was the St. Crispin's Day speech. Gave me chills.
I assume it was just posted too early or something, and will be back up later, but I feel like I've been horribly teased that I only got to read what was on the home page. By the time I clicked the jump, it was gone.

Built-In Out Today
Built-In Out Today
I will only be in the office for another hour, which is probably just as well since I have not done too much other than look at the box scores from other games since I arrived here at 7 AM. Further, I probably would have snuck away in the afternoon regardless - if you've ever worked in a business / building where the majority of the people spend much of each day in the field, the day before a long weekend typically means that the building is a ghost town. The downside to today is that the bulti-in out involves taking my son for some tests because of what I shall describe as "lingering gastrointestinal issues", so it may not exactly be a fun afternoon off.
Through it all, thoughts of 8 PM tomorrow distract me. I am hoping that Saban's "Curse you, Michigan!" face is something like this:
"Funny isn't it, how naughty dentists always make that one fatal mistake."
