Wizzer's World

You know, I really miss writing in my blog. There was a time when I could get away for 15-20min or so and type out what was going on. Now I get so busy I have to force myself to go down the hall to the restroom! Things at work have stepped up at work a ton! I am now the lead on building an entirely new network with all member servers. Right now, active directory is kicking my ass. I’d like to be able to deploy all my required software using group policy, but for some reason I can’t get my MSI’s configured to run correctly on each users account. Of course I also need to copy over the group policy from our existing network so that the security settings match. That means going over the current GP with a fine tooth comb and matching it to the new one.

See why I haven’t posted? And that’s just 2 small things I am working on. I have a board of like 30. I need more time in my day.

I do have some exciting news though. We are making a road trip this weekend down to Fredericksburg. It turns out that Amy won some contest and we may be getting a pretty cool prize! Of course we have to go down and listen to some 90min speech on how a timeshare would make our lives easier. But hey, I can sit for 90 min and then say no just as easy as the next guy! I am sure they will probably come back with some off of like $500 or the Mystery Box. Because you know, $500 is just $500 but the Mystery box could be anything! Even $500!! And you know I could use that!

After the wonderful time we are no doubt going to have at the speech, we are heading to Woodbridge to a car dealership there to hopefully get Amy a new car! Well, not a new new car but a “new to her” car. We haven’t had the best luck getting her a car of her own lately. Sadly her credit got extremely screwed over by a former party and she has had very little luck getting it rebuilt (Yeah, it got screwed over THAT bad, Thanks former party!) We tried going to Eastern motors “Where your job is your credit!” and they were absolutely horrible! They overpriced their cars beyond belief, they openly admitted that they sell personal information to anyone they want. They actually wouldn’t let her proceed without signing a waiver that stated she was ok with them giving away her personal information. And we wonder why there are so many telemarketer calls and spam in the world. These people endorse it! Want some free blog advice? (and who doesn’t) STAY AWAY FROM EASTERNS!

Anyways, we found a good little Honda dealership that specializes in second chance credit with no BS about how your Job is your credit. With any luck, we may win enough from this timeshare speech to pay for a good chunk of the car! We’ll see. I will do my best to report next week on how this all went. In the mean time, it’s nice outside! You should go out and enjoy it!
