Mr. Z was nice again.

We are all using the Virtual In/Out Board I built as part of ISMan. ISMan is an intranet application I have been working on the last year plus. In the old office we share a large room and it was easy to see where everyone one was since we had a white board by the door and we would write on it where we were going. Now we are in a new office building. Here I can not easily see where other people are. I built an In/Out board that is online. It will update itself every few minutes so I can say where I am going on the board without making announcements before I leave. At first the other guys did not want to use it and the women did. But everyone is on board with it now. It is cool to see my application get use.

I went to class. It was one of my last classes. I have two more and that is all. Then I am done with that class. After the class I was sticking around Pullman since I had a doctor's appointment at six thirty. I am finally getting my ankle looked at and my sore muscle in my right arm. That has been hurting for a while.

I went to the fire station to try on a few different pair of boots to replace my old ones. I found a pair I liked so Capt Van Ness issued them to me. We were talking about fire department stuff when the second alarm tones went off for WSU and Pullman fire. There was a kitchen grease fire going in a house. So they left.

While I was talking to Capt Van Ness I got a phone call from Michele about going to Zeppoz to hang out. I headed up there and had a few beers and played some cards in Mr. Z's casino. I won pretty well at Mr. Z's. I had a one hundred dollar chip with me. So I decided to play it on one card of black jack. Russell was dealing. I was dealt a seventeen. Russell had a six showing. I was still slightly worried. His bottom card ended up being a two. He had eight. He flipped a seven. Now he had fifteen. I was feeling better. He flipped another seven. He got twenty-two. I won. I walked out up a lot then.

I paid my bill for the beer and food. Michele, Heather, Ron, Dan, and I all sat down at a table. We drank some more and chatted. Then I went back to the casino. I won about two bucks after I did some tipping of the dealers. I did well over all on the night.

I headed home and watched Futurama and the Family Guy and headed to bed.
