The slip

So I’ve gotten pretty good at running cables from the attic down the walls and into self made wall jacks. However, my balance still sucks. I was walking across the beams in the attic and stepped on a very small loose board which should not have even been there. It’s like it was put there for me to try to step on thinking it was solid. Well, I kinda lost my balance and well… see for yourself. Needless to say, 4 of the 5 people sitting in the living room when this happened found it quite amusing. Care to guess who the one that found it most UN-amusing?

Ubuntu, Beryl, VMWare

Probably the most fun I’ve had with my computer in a long time. It’s a lot of eye candy, which usually I try to avoid because it would slow down any computer without enough return, but Beryl runs so smoothly it’s just awesome. And VMWare running Windows at the same time with no delay is tits. It drops my RAM down to 512MB for each OS, but they can both run with ease on that. Bump my RAM up to 2GB (1GB each), and I’d probably never shut VMWare down. Check out some pics:

Rehearsal Dinners

So… I hate rehearsal dinners. This may seem weird for me to say, seeing as I’m getting married in November and will have a rehearsal dinner, but it’s more related to my job. I’m a valet, and I hate rehearsal dinners. We probably parked 18 cars for a rehearsal dinner tonight. One guy came in an hour early for it, another rushed from his day job to help out with this early crowd.
Of the 18 cars we parked, 9 left absolutely no tip. This is not abnormal. Weddings and rehearsal dinners always have a lot of people that just don’t leave a tip. What’s up with this? Come on people, you came to a really nice restaurant, pulled up to the door, had your car parked for you… and nothing? Because you are in the wedding party? Get screwed.
Just tip the valets, they are working for your benefit.
