Just some pictures from my day off and surfing the web

THIS IS A GOOR REASON TO PICK UP SMOKING!!!!!!

My wife tells me this every day.....

Another weekend

My dear friends..... Another weekend and I am resting after a 90 hour week. It has been very busy here lately with about 100 linguist and staff coming down for the program in Iraq only. Who said that we were leaving Iraq?
Among my 12-16 hour days, I find time to fix some computers. One linguist asked me if I could help him, because the "Geek Squad" at Best But had told him that his computer was old and his hard drive (the Geek Squad was asking for $200 to replace) was bad and he needed just to buy a new computer. So he asked me if there was anything I could do for him. He gave me the computer and went home. After an hour of troubleshooting I got the computer back to life and repaired his Windows Operating System. I am so smart that on the same day I took 2 hours to troubleshoot another computer when a real Network Administrator, that is also a linguist, asked me "why are you going through the elbow to get to the nose?" He showed me an easy way that will probably save me a lot of time next time. Talking about a humility check.....

SOCCER season is over. We have wasted so much money just eating out going to all those soccer games that I think I could have made an extra house payment. Both girls were injured this year but recovering fine. They will need a few months of rest before they start Karate or Kick Boxing or something to keep them busy and NOT drive mom crazy.

Take care and please be safe.....

Another week goes by

What a week!
My girls have broken the spell! They won two of their last three soccer games. It was great, my daughter was awesome last Saturday. I have been telling her that to play defender she has to have the mentality that if a player from the other team comes near her, she has to either take the ball or take her out. She did a few times and I was so proud of her.
My daughter D. was injured a few weeks ago and had to watch the games on the side line. The Doc cleared her to play but I want he to wait for a few days until she gets her stamina back but she wants to go out there and play on Monday.

Have a great weekend that I will be working my hot Hispanic butt off. By the way, the location that we work on at Ft. Benning was hit by a tornado a week ago and everything looks like a WWII battlefield.
Wish me luck!!

An IDIOT by any other name is still and IDIOT.

Sean Hannity is probably the third most stupid person in the world. Just an ode by a great mind and a genius.

Aping urbanity,
Oozing with vanity,
Plump as a manatee,
Faking humanity,
Intellectual inanity,
Journalistic calamity,
Fox Noise insanity,
You’re a profanity,
Hannity.

* John Cleese, Ode to Sean Hannity


Enjoy everybody

Holy Crap

I am very sorry for my long absence from this blog. I had been working hard, but at the same time I am very happy that I have a great job.
As you might have seen and read on the news; the Afghanistan contract is expanding and we are in the middle of it. The Iraqi contract is also expanding and the company that had it and we were supporting is about to be sent packing by the US Army. The reasons for their abrupt departure is that they sucked to high heaven, I have yet to meet a linguist returning from Iraq that said DynCorp is a good company.
All of the linguist want to come and work for us, but because of restrictions by the US Army, the linguist can not just jump ship and start on a new contract. The linguist have to be either terminated or fired from their current contract before they can be rehired by any other company.

On the plus side, my brother had a little girl that came out smiling and so alert it went straight for the nipple. We will be going to Washington DC for the baptism.

The girls are very excited about the trip, but the best part is that we are going to see the whole family and we are going to spend the whole day walking around the Capital.

I will be taking a million pictures of my babies and wife.

Have a great day everybody.
