Life on Mars

Howdy, as you can see a new logo for 2008. That is just a start and I will do some more changes as time goes on - fresh year needs a fresh lookin blog.

Well, I am off for two days. Maxed out on the vacation hours - 200 - so I had to take some time off. It is needed - work or should I say this project is getting crazier. We are not going to make our deadline and it seems the powers that be finally got wise and are going to push the date - not enough in my opinion but I'll take what they give. I have been given so much to do and to solve that my workload is now being listed as an issue or risk in QA meetings.. not sure if that is good or bad. Good because they have faith in my abilities to get things solved and done but bad cause I am getting tired and turn-around times are not fast enough.. I just do my job and have fun when I can and let mgmt. worry about that crap.

I do take pride in the fact they rescheduled some meetings once they found out I was going to out - just so I can be there. As many Merc. people know - there is not much in the way of kudos you get so I take small things like this as my positives and kudos that I am doing a good job and am valued.

You are missing out on some good times Audio!!!! Come back!!!!!

The contractor who sits in front of me came back from Europe and brought me some KICK ASS chocolates from Switzerland. Damn they were good. I thought that was really cool of her. Kids and and wifey enjoyed as well.

Supercross at Angel Stadium this sat. This is the family outing... me and the girls, my bro and his daughter, my sister's girls and maybe my sister or bro-in-law. Plus....... Unkie Avman is going too.. hahahah - my girls really like AVman and I think it is cool. Did I tell you the 6 year old is way to good at Connect 4 and has beat all of us (including AVman) straight up. Here normal comment to me before we play: BRING IT ON OLD MAN!!!!! - gotta love her.

Finally back to the title of the blog. My favorite show - Life on Mars - on BBCA. I watched Tuesday episode and it was followed with "make sure to watch next week's SERIES FINALE". WTF???? It has only been on for two years.... so I check the web site and it is true. It also appears that it was over a year ago in Britain and the shows run later on BBCA. Damn it all man!! At least I found out many of the characters are going to a new version of the show called Ashes to Ashes. Where Life was a cop who went back to 1973, this time a female cop goes back to 1981. The show is done so well with all the period stuff, etc.. No idea when we will get it on BBCA but not soon enough for me.

Now who can tell me what is the common link between Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes... hint.. what connects those show titles?

Hope you have a good one
