The LazyAssGeek’s

This year’s affair was much more traditional, especially when compared to last year’s Perfect Storm. While we prefered the music of LeCompt, those of us amongst the beer drinking crowd were probably better off that this year’s band, however loud & stereotypical, left us… feeling better on Sunday, shall we say.  The food was very good, as always, and the the music pure cliche German oompah.  We did let ourselves down a bit this year by letting the bar tab actually be LESS than the food tab.  I blame all the ladies, who ordered dessert!

This year’s crowd was Joe & Nat, Rich & Debbie, Jack & Katy, Rich & Christina, Rich’s brother Ed, Bill & Debbie and their neighbor Gina and Val & me. It was great to get everybody together and I’ll take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Geek Christmas has come twice so far this year!  Another round of liquidation from my buddy Mike’s closing office.  This time it’s Optiplex desktops and Latitude laptops.  Yes, I know, you’d like a laptop… get in line!

So my buddy Mike works for a finance company that got taken out in the first wave of the sub-prime collapse.  He’s gotten some very nice retention bonuses to stick around during the dismantling, and today I got one.  He had 12 servers that were removed from regional offices that needed to be liquidated.  Being my father’s son, I can’t pass up on a deal, so when he said $500 for the lot…. done!
