Can't remember if we pulled the tree out before or after lunch. One other fact Sean left out is that we spent our lunch hour each day downing beers by the pool then went back to work.

I think the tree WAS afterwards because we had trash detail between scottsdale and tatum on lincoln that morning and then busy with the hula hoes (as you see in the pic). sean Wayne, ahhh yes, the keg at Jason Tennyson’s house over lunch… i almost forgot about that.

We're handed garbage Dell PCs at my place of employment, and I found my one holding me back. I sharpened my "rusty axe" of a Windoz laptop by trashing it, and buying my PowerBook... never looked back. As Apple says, in all their grammatically incorrect glory: "Think Different." :) But seriously, there is a ton of IT jargon out there that drives me crazy, too. "Think outside the box" is just one of those phrases, and as much as I try I can't help myself from uttering them incessantly during meetings; I guess it's just part of being an IT manager. Maybe I should just ditch the whole management thing and go back to writing code... sigh... :) - max Couldn’t agree more.
