Come to the bathroom and see my hole

Kept busy at work yesterday. Ben came over with some additional requirements multiplying the JCL changes by about 3 times. Grrrrrr. At least it keeps me occupied. Had my bi-weekly meeting with my boss. I asked about the offshore plans since she said she'd be able to tell us by the 15th. Apparently they've had more meetings and are starting to realize that my department spends most of the time do analysis and very little time doing actual coding. Duh. Now they're still deciding whether to actually pursue offshoring my department's work. Hmmmmm.

Got home to find workers in the bathroom. They had made a big hole in the ceiling to fix the leaking drainpipe from upstairs. The wood is wet, so Arthur wants to leave the hole exposed for a couple weeks to let it air out before putting in a new ceiling. Meanwhile, it seems the wet, open ceiling might be giving Steve respiratory problems. Grrrrr.

Tom Kelly dropped by to pick up Steve for the playwright workshop. Steve gave him a quick tour, then they were off. I went to FCD for the evening. ( Read more... )

Events

Did I leave you off my sing-a-long invite? I ran into someone at FCD last night who I'd forgotten to invite. If you wanna come, it's next Monday from 7-9pm. Just let me know and I'll forward the Evite.

JC finally posted to BML about the Mr. Lone Star contest this Saturday. I hadn't seen any signs in the LS on Sunday, so I'm not sure how much participation he'll get. He did mention Bears in Boxers at the LS on Thursday from 8-11pm. I was planning to go to FCD club night, but maybe I'll have to do both. I love being at the bar in boxers.

Wicked

I just pre-ordered the CD for Wicked. It's due out December 16th. If you wait long enough for the page to load, you can hear excerpts of "Popular" and "Defying Gravity" at wickedthemusical.com.
