Big changes happened at work last week. Quite a few people lost their job due to promises not kept, or at least that's what we were told. Alot of other people were moved to other parts of the company. The manager for my group was moved to another part of the company and our Oracle DBA was let go. This all basically means more work for everyone who's left, which thanfully includes me.
The SDSL modem started having some annoying issues last friday and, unfortunately, it wasn't under warranty. Ended up having to replace the stupid thing because it was getting errors at 768k. The new one has a warranty of one year though so hopefully everything will be good, havn't had any problems yet at least.
Had a very cool cook-out on Memorial Day (this past Monday). Picked up some patio furniture over the weekend for real cheap (60"x60" table and 8 chairs for under $300) and that worked out very well. Also got to use my new grill (finally). The grill worked out very nicely and I managed to cook up some burgers and chicken without killing anyone. I expect to be using the grill more in the future, it's pretty fun to grill up burgers and stuff.
My second set of summer classes have started and I'm afriad they're going to be rather evil. The books for the classes cost around $100 new, each. It appears that there's going to be a fair bit of calculus used in each of the classes as well. We went over set theory in the probability class which was pretty simple but I'm afraid it's just a trick to lull us into thinking the class is easy. I hate it when they do that.
