Not So Famous…

My name is Chris, and I will be your tourguide for today, and thank you for choosing Snafu Tours! We know you have plenty of other options when planning your week, and Snafu Tours appreciates that you chose us.

Up here on your right, you’ll see the biannual Timechange, ladies and gentlemen.  Only happens twice a year, and you are privleged here at Snafu Tours to witness this marvel of the space-time continuum first-hand, folks! Not only does this make you late for church, but it will completely demolish your internal ability to tell time!  An amazing feat of timekeeping before your very eyes! (That is, if the time change hasn’t wrecked your sleep schedule, and you can actually keep your eyes open.)  Just one of the marvelous things about this Monday that you will see today on Snafu Tours!

Ahead on your left, (and please don’t be afraid, folks, it’s completely harmless) is the dreaded Monday “Strange Message on my Computer”!  Yes folks, this message will pop up on the screens of everyone in the company, at which time they will call you so you can tell them what to do!  Of course, this is not the user’s fault, for some reason, every time anyone changes nearly anything in the Lotus Notes server, the users get a message that says “Security Execution Alert!”  You’d freak out too folks!  Just another Monday Madness joy!  We gotta move on ladies and gents!

Keep looking to your left, my friends, or else you’ll miss….THE EMERGENCY OF DOOM!  That’s right, folks!  It wouldn’t be a Monday if someone didn’t toss you something that had to be done 30 minutes ago, OR ELSE! Better hurry along, people, or you’ll get caught in the backlash!

Well folks, we could continue, but there’s really no need…I see you’re shaken up enough as it is!  Please, join us tomorrow for TUESDAY!  That’s right, you’ll wish it were Friday afternoon, but you’ve still got 4 DAYS UNTIL THE WEEKEND! (Don’t worry kids, everything will be fine…you can stop crying now.)

Stepping outside of my carefully conceived tour guide image; aside from the MANY error message calls I’ve gotten, and the emergency I’ve had slapped on my desk, and the timechange that has left me so confused as to what time it really is, I’m feeling pretty good.  :)  (Told you things would get better.) I’m still a little “blah” as I mentioned in my last blog entry, but my weekend was very enjoyable.  Got to spend a lot of time with a good friend, drank some really tasty beer (and some not-so-tasty beer….Purple Haze, Gabe?  Yeesh…never poured beer down the sink before, if that tells you anything.)  Overall, the weekend was relaxing.  In other news, 2 more weekends until Brew Day, when my cousin Erin comes down!  WOOOOO!!! It’s gonna be such fun!!

edit: To be honest, the Purple Haze thing was not Gabe’s fault, contrary to what Daniel (the Bearded One) has said.  You see Purple Haze comes from the Abita Brewery.  Those of you who are fans of the Brown Ale style might recognize this brewery as the creators of Turbodog. Now Turbodog is a darn good brown ale, and I knew of no reason to suspect that their raspberry flavored malt beverage would be any worse…it was.  Daniel likes to claim that the label told him that it would be a bad beer.  Here’s a man who (read in your most effeminate voice) absolutely LOVES Buffalo Bill’s Orange Blossom Ale.  (/effeminate)  At least Purple Haze doesn’t have the word “Blossom” in it.  In this one, I think Gabe’s definitely up a few points, eh?  To close, Gabe introduced me to Turbodog, which is a tasty beer, as well as Old Rasputin’s Russian Imperial Stout, which is a MAJOR stout, in my book.  He’s still ahead!  :)

Edit Again: Daniel tried Purple Haze and didn’t like it.  Maybe he’s not as bad as we thought?  LOL
