So far this work week has not been very exceptional, but today it got a whole lot better.
Last weekend was a lot of fun. I went to Smokefest which is a BBQ competition between a bunch of guys who are pretty much just looking to have a good time. It was a lot of fun. I'm amazed at what a huge production the whole thing turned out to be. It was a good weekend. I spent a lot of time with Dezi and hung out with her dad and some of the guys on Saturday night. It was the night before the competition and the cook and drink all night. The interesting part was what they were doing to prepare a whole pig for cooking. Dezi should have pictures up on her site at some point and I'll just point you there.
Yesterday my car decided to have some issues so it's at the shop and I'm driving a rental. Good news is it should be pretty easy to fix. Bad news... Car repair is always unexpected.
So anyway... On to the good stuff. Today I was given my very own peon. He's someone that is extra from one of the other groups we work with. He's not that familiar with Java and I don't know about the rest of it, but he's going to be doing all of the grunt work that I have been doing since I started. I know I'll have to teach him a whole lot, but just think... I have a peon. Of course you can call them a peon to their face, but I'll soon have him gathering resources in preparation for my domination of the rest of the world. My plans for world domination are proceeding right on track.
