Got the Office Pool Running

October 29th, 2005

Today started out with a call about the IM basketball tournament. That I did not need to work it. That was good because I wasn’t even scheduled to work it.

I talked to JT about doing the office pool in the FFL league. He said if someone else wanted to run it, he would run the money part of it. So I decided that I would look into it. Then I got a call from Josh to see if I wanted to golf because it was a nice day and “we” did not need to work the basketball game. I told him that I thought golfing was an excellent idea.

Before I left to go a call came out in Colfax close to where I live. So I went to the scene and met the engine there. I helped move the patient to the ambulance and then headed to Pullman to play some golf. It was an okay day for me. Some bad putting, but I ended with a sixty-four.

After golf I was meeting up with Ron and Heather at Zeppoz to watch the Cougar/USC game and have a beer. Dan came in later and we played some video-golf. I got a butt-kicking there. Just as the Cougs were getting beat. I can say that today’s game is the first time all season the Cougs have been beat.

After the Cougar game I played in the Zeppoz poker tournament. It was a twenty-five dollar buy-in. I started with two-thousand worth of chips. I made it for about forty minutes before losing on two straight hands that I had the best cards pre-flop, but the flop allowed others to get paired up.

I went to my office and started to work on the Office Pool. I created a database and all the pages to run it and view it. It took a lot of hours to do that because I had to figure out how to build the database to hold the data the way I wanted to do it and figure out how to make it so it would be as automated as possible. I finally got it running nicely around midnight.

After words I headed to Colfax. I wanted to take advantage of daylight savings time ending so I could get the extra hour of sleep.
