Super Bowl Sunday?

The NY Giants win the Super Bowl. Having been born and raised in NY one would think I'd be more excited, but alas! Actually, I don't really care all that much though.

Football's never been one of my interests. I find it hard to even follow the Seahawks. They did pretty well this year, but unfortunately they didn't make it past round two of the play-offs, so my interest quickly waned thereafter.

I'd be more than happy though to share my interest and enjoyment of Tennis, and how many hours I spent watching the recent Australian Open. Needless to say, I'd be hard pressed to have even considered the fact that Federer wasn't going to take it again. It's too bad about Roddick though. I was hoping he was going to make it further!

I ordered the complete West Wing collection today. Boy, do I miss that show! I don't lament the loss of many tv programs, but I'd have to say that West Wing is the show that I've missed the most. Even more than Seinfeld! It's due in a week or so, so I'm sure that first weekend will be spent reacquainting myself with all the old friends, via a complete review of at least Season 1 (see 1/31 posting if at this point your exclaiming...wow...he's kind of a geek!) :)

J and I also picked up the Rock Band game for the XBOX 360. We haven't purchased the 360 yet because there is still some work to be done on the game room but hopefully in the next week or two we'll be able to pick up that system and complete his collection.

Oh yeah, and I have tomorrow off. For those of you getting up for work tomorrow, my apologies. I know how most of us feel about Monday's. However, my employer has a strict 'Vacation Cap' policy, and I can't keep more than 160 vac hours on the books so I've got to take a day or two off a month. If I don't, I'm not able to earn any additional accruals and the hours are lost.

I know I'm a confirmed work-a-holic, but one of my work goals this year is to not lose any vacation accrual. Last year, out of a potential 120 hours, I was only able to actually earn 80 of those, because the other 4 mos I was at the cap! This year, I can earn 160 and I'll be damned if I'm going to lose any accrual this year. So far so good, beginning of Feb and so far I've managed to take enough days so as to earn both Jan and Feb's accruals.
