Unruly Behavior

We're trying to do some power manaagement on our network as our crappy Samsung LCDs are burning in our network login screen. And before you e-mail me and tell me that LCDs are not supposed to burn in, I am aware of this fact and that is why I preceeded Samsung with the adjetive 'crappy'. In the meantime, I found this free GPO software from the Government, so I figured, hey, my taxes paid for this, we ougt to look into applying it to the network. Go Energy Star!

My last three jobs all promised "Comp Time". You know, you work extra today, we'll give you some time off in the future. First one laide me off with about 40 hours of comp time never given. Second one I got my comp time only by going into a coma. Last one I got one of the Comp days I was promised, but left with about a week of comp time due.

Now, at my new job I've been working 50-70 hours per week since day one. No promise of comp time, just doing what needed to be done.

My boss made me take today off as a comp day becuase I have been working so hard. That's right, made me stay home and do nothing today. And I have done nothing!

Well, I did answer some surveys over at Gaming Lagoon to get some points towrds free stuff, but I didn't do much else. Played some XBOX and browsed on the internet. Overall a a great day.

Now it is time to go drink some beers with some friends and eat some seafood. Boiled Crawfish are in season! Yum!

Ok, I don't usually do this kind of thing, but a buddy got me to check out gaminglagoon.com, said he already had gotten a free Microsoft 1600 Point card for his XBOX 360.

So I tried it out, during the Daytona 500 I managed to get 15 points. Last Monday during lunch I ran up another 5 points and got a Free Microsoft 1600 Point Card two days later shipped directly to my house from Amazon.

Just fooling around at lunch and during yesterday's NASCAR race I ran up another 40 points. Two more cards headed my way. Pretty easy stuff. They also have prizes for Wii, World of Warcraft and some other stuff. You can also get XBOX Live memberships and accessories.

So, here is what you do: Setup a free e-mail account, at Hotmail, Gmail or some other service that you want to be able to throw away. Sign up at gaminglagoon.com with your real info and the dummy e-mail address. Make sure your name, address and phone are good at Gaming Lagoon, they won't send you prizes otherwise. Now, start doing the surveys, follow the directions below the links at Gaming Lagoon carefully, using the dummy address. Some of the sites will send a confirmation e-mail before you can click completed and get the award. Get your 20 points and get a free card. Get 40 points and get a free wireless controller. Simple.
