Weekend is here, but working today

I get to go to work today, so great. Bad week for a couple of our machines at work this week. One of our box converters lost the hard drive to the computer which runs it causing it to be down 12 hours.
And we also lost two of the knife options on our 3 knife capable corrugators meaning it could only trim one knife or just one order against itself. For example, a 51" wide sheet order could trim itself out twice against itself out of 106" of paper. If it could not trim itself out of 110, 106, 100, 94, or 89, it would have to run on our other machine. To say the least, it caused a lot of headaches the last couple of days.
Off to work.

I have been away and yelled at for not blogging

Karen was disappointed to not see anything posted on here for awhile. I could say I was boycotting from writing anything until I was given a prize which was to be given for coming up with the best lines from the Neil and Sammy Christmas picture which I was told I won, but no prize has been delivered. I have had 4 guitar lessons and learning some things here and there. It is fun to actually play the instrument and hear the song- or at least hear a bit of it which sounds right. Thinking about taking longer lessons, but they are more expensive. It could cost almost 120 a month then. I am thinking that is too much now. I am going to buy the Metallica guitar hero game for PS2 when it comes out, just need to get the guitar. But the game doesn't come out until May anyways for the PS2 system.
We could get up to 18 inches of snow today. That is just crazy. I pulled a Kowalski the last three days and took naps in the afternoon. I slept Saturday before playing poker, Sunday before the Super Bowl (which I would haven't seen unless I took the nap) and yesterday after work.

Still looking for suggestions for what to do with my TV and entertainment center when I finally buy a new TV for the downstairs. Options are:
a. Put the TV in the living room with the entertainment center,
b. Put the TV in the living room without the entertainment center and convert it into a dresser
c. Same as above, but sell the entertainment center on Craigslist.
d. Put TV and center in the backroom (thinking no already though)
e. Put the TV in the backroom on different table.

Vote now. I got nothing more for now. Just dreading having to go outside and push snow around today. Jeeps are good for going through it though.
