Oldroyd Family Life and Times of an Oldroyd

• Hated the drive to gymnastics – at least I made it. Grrr. First Lexi and then pick up pizza for baseball. #
• Delivered a laptop to Scott. I think I got all my tasks completed. My documentation could have been better. Now, heading into the office. #
• Stuck in traffic. Just heard that WJ won the Oracle data center. More oracle in the valley is a good thing. #
• Ran 3.5 miles today up and down the canyon. Neither steep ups nor steep downs are much fun, but it was good to get out. #

• Work is completely dead before 8:30am. I was going to workout this morning, but was too tired. Just hit the steamroom and enjoyed it. #
• Back from a nice lunch with my boss – ready to try to get some real work going. First, have to head off over-anxious web developers. #

• Wow – T has got to control himself – he just jot himself pulled from the game by his coach. Gotta lose the attitude. #
• Glad he pulled him – T deserved it. T is a great player if he keeps his head. #
• Kris is off at the temple. I’m gad she is getting there. Had a bit of a difficult time getting kids down. I hate being the grumpy bear. #
• Day 2 at the new job – trying to get my hands around what is going on. Suddenly feeling overwhelmed. #
• Halfway through day two and my badge still wont get me anywhere. I have to rely on lax physical security measures to even go to the restroom #

• Enjoyed a farewell lunch with my co-workers. Just pondering my time here. It has all been very good. It is hard to leave. #

• Next to last day at this job. It is really kind of weird not having much to do in an official capacity. #
• I finally bit the bullet and did a hard reset on my phone. I have successfully restored contacts and things are looking up! #
• churning hard-drives and frozen windows…. oh I hate this feeling. #

• Sasquatch siting. Check out the blog. #
• T walked and stole home to tie the game. He is pretty pumped. #
• Bases loaded 2 outs – T is up. #
• Excellent single! Right up the middle. Hooray!
  T is now playing 3rd. #
• We won 12-2. Things are going well. Tanner is eating his baconator and then its back for the next one. #

• Got fuel, big gulp, and nachos (lots of jalepenos). Walked to the car and a strong wind ended up with nachos all over the parking lot. Doh! #
• Small fix to sqlserver function – client can’t make up their mind on exactly what they want. Oh well – I get paid every time they change. #
• Moving on to more familiar consulting ground. Back to oracle. It is so much easier – even on 9i. #
• Taking the day off. Getting the lawn mowed and running errands. One quick con-call with Minneapolis then back to errands. #

• Home from work, home from baseball, ready for consulting. When does the rollercoaster ride end? #
• @CaliLewis I have an invite for you – What email should I direct it to? #
• Ah, the consulting project went swimmingly well – I should do more but I’m sick of SqlServer for the night. #
• Man, I am so tired this morning. Not quite sure why. The van ride awaits and hopefully a bit of a nap. #
• Finished about a 4 mile run. The last part was in a light rain. It was great. The spring rain smell was perfect. I love runs like this. #

• Let the baseball begin. Parker starts things off. We may have to leave the game a bit early to get to Tanner’s game. #

• Staying home today with the kids while my wife and daughter fly to see her dad. #
• Left my phone on the vanpool van. Luckily someone found it. I was sick to death over it. #
