Oh, no worries les!

Got home about 20 minutes ago. Nice day! Fun evening.

While I was out... My boss emails me. We have two new people starting on our team to replace the two that left. One starts 11/2, one starts 11/9. My boss is going on vacation starting 11/9-ish. I am traveling. I've told her I will be traveling. She has told me I need to be going to these office events. I've booked my travel. Tonight she's like "oh, can't the agency go in your place?" No, they can't. I've booked travel. You're the one on vacation, I'm actually working. There are others in the department that can keep these new people busy till we get back.

Happy belated birthday.

Mornin' Lodge.

As expected, it's rainy and dismal here. And not that hard rain that last a few minutes. It's an all-dayer.

That'll make tonight's festivities a little interesting to deal with...

The bar at the top of the Reply to Thread/Quick Reply box is still the old color, as is the Notifications highlight.

Good Afternoon, Lodge!

Fried, or at least I think I fried, my laptop. Thus why I have not been posting much.

Seat at the *HT is starting to get warmed up.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #179: Crisp Autumn Weather, Football, and Hockey

Meh HT. or more aptly named- the tie/bye/sushi bar.

And I need a drink.... of chocolate milk
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #179: Crisp Autumn Weather, Football, and Hockey

Tie bar for me. It was an exciting game, but a couple of mistakes leading to goals hurt us.

Also, New Yorkers (or maybe just Union fans) are some of the most annoying people I've ever sat near.

Finally I'm buying at the HHT! Gmann drinks for free all night.

There must have been a full moon at the ice arena tonight. I get there at 6 PM, ready to work a 7 PM game. There was already a game going, so I watched that, thinking it was the 3rd period, and I'd just catch the end of it before the one I was working. I couldn't figure out why the goaltender wasn't being pulled, being down by a goal with a minute to go. He didn't budge. No one told him to. Turns out that it was only the 2nd period, that game started at 5:30, and my game wasn't scheduled until 8 PM. So here I am, 2 hours early because I can't read a schedule, and wondering why the goaltender wasn't being pulled in the 2nd period, because apparently I cannot read a scoreboard, either.

We knew that game would push ours back about a half hour. Then, late in the 3rd period, the scoreboard freezes, and then goes out. Lovely. We're already behind by a half hour, and darned if this game doesn't get tied in the last minute of regulation (we think. We're not sure exactly how much time was left), so off they go into overtime, without a functioning scoreboard. That game ends, we do what we need to do to get our game going, and off we go, minus a scoreboard for our game, too. We go the first two periods without incident, and without scoreboard. Right after that got fixed during 2nd intermission, the goal judge lights go out. So here I am in the goal judge's box for the 3rd period without a light. Even better. Naturally, I see 3 goals in about 8 minutes, where I just shrug my shoulders when the puck goes into the net.

It's just one of those nights where you sit and laugh, knowing that everything that could go wrong, will. During the first game, I was telling people that we were headed to OT, about 5 minutes before the game got tied, just because. It was that kind of night.

I suspect that you will find an entirely different atmosphere at the HFH. The mainly local crowd in the south grandstand is older and therefore fairly subdued. Because it is family Weekend, the students in the north grandstand will probably be on their best behavior. Due to poor acoustics in the HFH and the layout of the arena with for example a walkway between the rink and the grandstands and a fairly gradual slope to the stands, it is typically more quiet than most arenas anyway. (The goal horn is quite irritating if tuned to full power, but you may not hear it. :( )

I will be interested in any report.

BTW, Union fans have a very long history of being annoying.
