Day 3:

My boss moved into the conference room, too. The VP comes in for the first time, smiles real big, and says, "I LOVE IT! Wires and computers everwhere!" He approvingly nods his head a few times, turns and walks to the door, and says another "love it" as he's leaving.

My boss plugged speakers into my computer and said, "Alright, dude, you're the DJamer."

Some of the odds and ends I've learned about my boss: He just took his family to Florida. There were five or six kids/friends of kids along and they rented a van. The kids are all his wife's and the youngest is 14. He met his wife two years ago. They took the kids to Florida so they could go to their dad's wedding. Their dad works at Disney as a costume character, makes like $9/hour, and ended up divorced because he liked partying with 20 year-olds too much. He told my boss that he'd take care of the rooms and my boss discovered three days before they left that he only meant that he was making hotel reservations, not paying for them.

how come the vp won't relocate to the conference room?  he doesn't seem like much of a team player.

This is pretty awesome.  At the same time, that's a lot of pressure.

I pulled up NPR and selected an alternative rock station in Seattle from their list of featured streams.

I forgot my headphones, so I'm thinking about gifting him with Talk of the Townies today.

Holy crap.  I just check this thread after having not looked at it a billion years and wow.  Chum's situation would make my head explode from uncomfortableness.

Start slinging chips Tuesday. It'll be good to get back to work. Not sure what the status of the Denver job is. But for now I'll focus on me and improving my quality of life.
