Some people’s siblings!

So I get a call this morning to go fix a computer at my roommate’s shop. Of course he made a point to yell over the phone “AND YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HIT ON HER!!!!”. Well that’s a bunch of crap! I should charge him double.

Anyways I got there and go over to the (very cute) office girl’s desk. Proceeded to do a couple tests and figure out that DNS isn’t working but everything else does. So I put some good DNS numbers in and walah, no more internet problems. It took me under 2 minutes including the testing before and after.

So I really didn’t have enough time to hit on the girl anyways ;( I also was nice and since it only took me 2 minutes I only charged them $10 to be a nice guy. Hopefully they will have more problems in the future and will call me then so I will get more time to hit on the girl that I am not allowed to hit on.

I get home to an email saying something along the lines of “HELP I CAN?T FIND MY *expletive deleted*PHONE ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!”

So I gallop off on my trusty steed to go help my sister search for her phone using the ever so trusty “stand somewhere, and call the phone and hope you hear it” system. Well we did not find it but I was having a good time messing with her head (after she strong armed me into buying her lunch at Glass Nickel Pizza). After awhile we went back to her apartment and had eventually given up on the phone when my phone rang with her phone calling me. I picked up but got no answer. So I called back, oh I don’t know about 20 times. Then I started sending text messages to the phone offering a reward if returned, and pointing out that the phone would be deactivated in a few minutes.

The person who had found the phone obviously decided that the phone made a better paperweight to weigh down their guilty conscious, than a reward would make, and choose not to return it. My sister still had hope that they would return it so I loaned her my old phone and she activated that and was going to give them a day or two before she filed her insurance claim.

We were sitting around doing absolutely nothing, and I was not quite content with that so I decided to drag her to the new “Batman Begins” movie. Well good thing I did, it was the best Batman movie EVER. Even my sister was blown away by it. Hopefully they keep going with this storyline and this cast for future batman movies.

That got done and I decided to grill out again. So I told my sister she could come (of course when she shows up she wanted to make sure she was noticed so she dropped the phone I had loaned her on the ground, and proceeded to jump on it 20 or 30 times to make sure it was dead…. Ok perhaps that second part is an exaggeration, but I had a few to drink and it’s my blog so meh!). My friend Chris and his Wife also came. I had bought some more beer, and cooked up some brats, and once again had my mp3 player kicking out the jams. I almost had to slap Mindy when she insulted Ben Folds and called the music crap. I managed to calm myself down with another beer or 6.

Everybody eventually was cold and tired and so they left and I walked a good 20 feet to my neighbor’s driveway to sit around their fire and hang out with them. Normally they are full of good conversation at night, but their kids were all running around keeping them busy so there was not to much mirth to be had.

Still all in all it was another good day.
