Fine, I can't have a fan that is plugged into the wall and I heard they don't allow USB fans either. Well that leaves me this option if I don't want to spend a ton on batteries:



I hooked up the dual Antec case fans to the internal power supply and routed it through an open slot on the back of the PC. Ahh, it works just as well as my poor old fan that has been banished to the bottom drawer. Take that policy!!!

I got served.


I am no longer allowed to have my fan at work. I have had it here for the last 6 years and they started cracking down on this stuff after the building almost went dark Monday. So my trusty fan will be heading home when it will find use in the office/bike room.

There are two things I find funny about this. 1) I have 2 computers, 1 server, a monitor, laser printer and a scanner in my cube. I would have to guess that the fan uses the least amount of power. 2) When I was talking to the guy who gave me my fan termination notice I asked about some of the other stuff they found. Some of the obvious are fans, little fridges, other lights. But these two threw me off. Microwaves and get this...George Foreman Grills. Who the fuck decides, eh, I fell like a little lemon chicken for lunch, let me whip out the GF Grill and cook some up. I bet some a-hole has a Fry Daddy up in the Customer Service area. Seriously, a Foreman Knock Out the Fat Grill.

Anyway, I went to the gym last night and the damn Mole was there again. I have been going a little earlier than I used to go so I miss out on his locker room shenanigans. There were 2 guys from one of the newly acquired Northwest Fitness clubs that had a hard time figuring out how to use the locker. Put the card it, close the door, twist the key, take the key. Tough. Took them 5 full minutes and then I showed them how it worked. :)

Well back to work for me, I need to spend the last few days at work with my fan.

Thursday Night: Last softball game of the year.

The Eagan Men's Corporate Lower(beer) League had their last game of the year Thursday night and to celebrate our .500 year so far we had ourselves a party before the game. There were burgers, brats and all the fixin's that make a good BBQ. We took up a nice green patch of grass in the shade near a biff. Ahh, summer and her 95 degree temps also greeted us.


Our Team, Six Minute Abs, ready to play some ball with our food holders full of beer and burgers.


Safe?!? Nope, someone made the call to send him home, could this be the downfall of The Abs?


Luckily we had good pitching and hitting to keep us in the game. Some people say this is my best side. #1 baby!


Did I crush a monster homerun? Nope, a nice single right over 2nd base. The Abs would come out on top of this game 12-4 and put is 9-8-1 overall for the season. Go Abs!


Friday Night:
Met up with Chris who was in town from Texas and we LRT'd it downtown to meet up with Dozer. So Anne, Chris and I hit the OC and waited for Andy to show up. We ate some food, drank some beer and made fun of people. Pretty typical. We decided to get a move on to drink some more, we hit Rock Bottom for a flight of beer, then the News Room for a drink or two more. We then ended up at Brits after Dozer ducked out because he was sleepy. Brits was good with a couple of 1/2 and 1/2's and a Bootlegger for Chris.

We paid up and headed back to the LRT. I had to piss, bad. Oh, man, after the last time I had to pee downtown and got shined by the police I had to think quick. I found a trash can with an ashtray on top behind a pillar. I pee'd into the trashcan and watched for the cops. I was going to pretend I was putting out a smoke if they came by. Lady luck was on my side this time.

We got down to the LRT and we missed the last train. Fuck. I spotted a cab and then we jumped into it and headed back to MOA. $32.00 later we were there and then heading home. It was good to hang out with Chris and see him drink some Summit. Can't get that in Texas.


Saturday:
Hangover. Just a little one for me, a larger one for Anne. We laid around most of the AM. Around 1:30 Anne dropped me off at Life Time Fitness, and picked me up at 4:30 on her way to the Andy and Jaime's place. Anne was to play video games with Jaime and make fun of people on MySpace while Andy and I headed down to Karl's to nerd out on some Xbox. We played Xbox until 1:30AM and headed back to see the girls. Anne and I headed home and went right to sleep. Still tired from the Chris night out.


Sunday:
Oh hell, Sunday was hot also. Too hot to stay inside and even too hot to keep running the AC. Headed up to Dad's to take a boat out and do some swimming. We were in the water for about 4 hours and got a little sun burn. Not too bad though. Fred didn't get burnt though.


Fredo isn't so scared of the water with his life vest on and stationed on a floatie.


Monday:
Worked then hit the gym. The Mole was there. God damnit, headphones turned up to the max. The gym hasn't changed since I was last there. Still the same people but it was fricken packed. I guess no one wanted to be out in the heat. Headed home, watched some TV, went to sleep.

The End.
