    So in other news, I read this great article. "Former Valve Writer Posts Possible Half-Life 2: Episode 3 Plot Summary".

    I'm a Half-Life freak, and I'm one of the guys dying for either Half-Life 3 OR the 3rd damned episode in the series. Apparently, former Valve writer Marc Laidlaw has posted a fictional letter on his site that sure reads like a possible plot summary for Half-Life 2: Episode 3.

    It's good, and a nice read if you're a fan like me.

    Well I got my ass chewed because I didn't call the "on-call" man when he probably could have helped. Just called him for a hospital wide problem... NO ANSWER! WTF?

    Our on-call guys are really good about answering calls/pages. I still REALLY hate shagging engineers outta bed.

    I do as well, and I try not to, but they are getting paid 24/7 when on-call.

    I don't know what our guys get. They're regular engineers, so they're on salary.

    They all take regular turns for off-shift coverage, so it might just be part of their salary package.

    You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

    I'm off tonight, but woke up hungry.

    I wouldn't even know where to start...is it even worth paying someone to come out and look at it when a house call would be 1/4-1/3 the price of a new one?

    Dunno. Could be a few different things. If you're due for a new one then possibly. If it's already new/newish may be worth it, but I can't say.

    Also... Beer in hand. No rain here yet

    Love brisket; can't find amazing bbq up here in the northeast. There are some decent places but nothing mind blowing like I've had in the south.
    We just finished making home made baked eggplant parm, just waiting for it to cool.
