Happy Aloha Friday!
I have been trying to start "Aloha Fridays" in my office for quite some time. Every Friday (at least during the summer) I wear a Hawaiian shirt to work. Check out all of the people who are participating today!

So exciting. Maybe some day we'll be as big as "Red Shirt Thursday".
Work Calendar
Work has been busy lately, but that's probably a good thing given the consequences of an idle workforce in this tight economy.
I just wanted to share a snapshot of a very full day of meetings - do other people's "busy" days look like this, or am I a statistical outlier?!

Big Winner
We had some of my coworkers over for our semi-regular poker game, and guess who was the big winner:

It was a great last hand - the other guy (Vincent) had a full house and I had four-of-a-kind with an ace high. Very exciting when we both went all in!
Another BSOD
For the second time in 4 weeks my Windows laptop treated me to a beautiful Blue Screen of Death:

This brand new laptop crashed so hard that I couldn't even access, let alone repair, it's hard disk (mostly due to the very shitty Sanctuary device control software). A deadly one-two punch by an incompetent operating system and an overly protective device manager.
Want icing on this cake? Tech support says the whole problem is due to a Windows update that they distributed themselves. Argh!
