HighSide!!

The command to have everyone jump to one side of the raft to avoid rapping the boat around a rock called a banana rap, and jumping in for a swim over some boulders. Went Whitewater Rafting last weekend. Yeah it’s Thursday WTF man… I’m a little slow at updates at this point, I know. Gotta say though that it was fun. The Kern river. I had only been on the Sacramento (north and south), America(both forks) and the Russian. This was probably one of the more consistent ones. With routes through Dead Man’s curve, Horseshoe, and Heri-Kari you’ve got to have a good time. Also had some Cliff jumping and rope swinging and it’s all good!!! Picks will be loaded in a few days when I get copies. *gotta get the digi* Plus we had a personal guide that worked with us. Thanks Mike! I might be up for the Kayaking next month but I want to head to HI.

On the market watch. It’s damn crazy these times. All I hear about these days are layoffs. I wonder what’s next, who’s next? No one is immune I guess. I guess the market’s on it’s own Highside…the wrong one. In fact though this will actually be a blessing in disguise for many people. I can’t imagine wanting to go back to corporate after this. My recommendation is to take off! Go live some where else! Move out of your bubble and find something new. There’s so much world out there, why stop at Silicon Valley?

Corporate Softball

Our bad news bears softball team played again today…we celebrated today!! the ump didn’t have to utilize the mercy rule on us today. first time all season we completed a full game. whoo hoo!!! — this is another test post cuz I’m checking the damn code. debug is only fun if you get it fixed the first time…

Well to actually preface that last part. I started the first company softball team… hey I was feeling lazy sitting in my cube all day… and well its a success from a turn out standpoint and the fact that I got the company to sponsor us – provided we have a co-ed team… which is great! but getting the girls to come out and play is like pulling teeth or in their case breaking nails…

I can see this being a great thing for the company I just hope they stick with it…despite our losing record.
