Ramblings

Looking back, I’m not sure if I did mention my trip to Dallas. I’m here for the IT support trip. Every six weeks they send one of us over to Dallas (since there isn’t an IT person there) to handle all the tech support stuff that builds up that can’t be done over the phone easily. Today, that person is me. I’m typing this as Office 2003 installs in the background (which is taking forever).

One nice side effect of the trip was that I get to use a LeTourneau vehicle for the trip. I picked it up about 4PM yesterday and will return it tomorrow morning. The vehicle that I’m using is a Honda Accord ES, not a bad driving car. It’s been so long since I’ve driven anything other than my van that it is taking me a while to acclimate. Even with my dusty driving skills (in a car) the Dallas traffic was a joke. The only place that it got bad was on I635 (the loop here), and that was only in about three spots. The speed limit was enforced just about as well as it is in Houston (posted: 60, actual average: 70).

Well, my Office 2003 install is wrapping up, so I need to go for now.
