Back

After a long week in Louisville, I am finally back home in Chicago. Got in last night around 8:30-9 central time. I actually managed to see more people than I thought I would have time to see.

Work was very busy last week, I logged more than 40 hours in only 4 days. A few high impact projects were bumped up in priority and urgency. The worst was a huge query that I had to run to generate a report. When dealing with large amounts of data, the shear volume can be overwhelming. I spent my evenings after work hanging out with friends, and also managed to see my mother and grandmother. I stayed at my Dad's place.

Friday and Saturday was the big wedding for Bobby and Nicole. I checked in at the Brown on Friday afternoon and then began helping with the set up of the AV system for the rehearsal dinner. The head unit (amp, mixer, whatever you want to call it) was damaged and would not come on. After a couple phone calls, Bobby's dad and I made a quick run to their location nearest the hotel and got a new one. We got back and got it set up, then made it back to the Brown to get ready for the rehearsal. Tim and I were both late, but we managed ok. The rehearsal dinner was at the Seelbach Rathskeller and the meal and drinks were excellent.

Saturday was a fun day as well. The wedding set up was fairly simple, but I have never seen the Crystal Ballroom look more beautiful. The reception lasted until midnight and the after party until almost 3. I think everyone had fun.
