Izumi, my brother from another mother! I to am a Sr. Network Engineer for a gas company that has 40 locations in 3 States. I to have been banished to work from home for the rest of my career. My company sold our corporate headquarters (3 multistory buildings), where I had an office for 20 years and bought another property with only 2 buildings and a plot of land to build a 3rd. Covid hit, and they decided to never build the 3rd building as we work so well from home. I have been working for this natural gas utility going on 22 years now, prior to that I was a TAC engineer for Cisco system, a supervisor for Hitachi laptop support, and I started my carrier as PC support for Gateway Computers (Windows 3.1 / Windows for Workgroups). So I have been in IT for 32 years now. 
  
These are our two new buildings.

Thank you to all who participated n this month's happy hour - it was definitely a great time, and I think we set a record for the longest running happy hour.  I left around 2:45 a.m., and a couple of people did stay a bit longer 😎
The games were fun, the silly holiday sweaters, shirts, and accessories (many with lights) kept us all laughing, and it was an overall fun evening.
Our best "costume" goes to @AthenA, who actually had several costume changes throughout the event lol.  I will get with you about your prize 🙂 
We had some new faces once again - @Qball1 @StormCrow @Bamm @Izumi  - great to meet you all!
And thanks to our hosts, @YACCster & @piglo!
We even got to see @Ruggerxi throw a strike as he joined from his league night at the bowling alley 😝
Also attending: @Chris @Draygunnar @Unexist @E-raser @Icequeen @El_Terrible @Wardogs411 @blackwidow @SAPPER @ANGU5 @baldie @Hogan @Cooper @Sourtap @Hefe33 @Buddy @Johnny3Time @Thunder @Janey @ShadyBrady @McGrim @ScRiPt3r @timinator @HotRod55
There were a few minutes where I was afk, so if I missed anyone please let me know 💕
Please consider joining us next month if you haven't before.  Would love to see us reach 50 people in one session - this time we hit 33 throughout the evening.

Yay ! Thank you very much XI family ! I had a lot of fun doing it  This last happy hour was so much fun, thanks to you all ! 

I'll be there! As I am west cost, I will not be there at 1:00 PM PST but I will be there.

I was playing the Beta tonight and realized that my opponents were anticipating my actions as if they could see through walls. But this is a beta... I thought, I was not alone.  It seems that the pig F*ck*rs have already  owned this game in beta!!!
 
I will not be buying this game. I hope that Google Stadia will help with the hacking problem. 
 
Let me know your thoughts.

Ever wanted to try Overwatch? This weekend, Play free! If you like it, it's $20.00 off this weekend as well! Give it a try, and don't forget to join us on Team Speak

 
FYI it's $20 off the full package, and $10 off the basic, which is all anyone needs.

I know you were all dying to know what I look like!
 

A driving game? Should have known with a name like JohnnyNashville

Anyone else playing Overwatch? It is a FPS shooter that is very team oriented. Also can we get an Overwatch channel added to the teamspeak. 

I agree with Jay, but to be more specific, I don't like that you need a 20 players to start a game. The fact that they have no client side anti-cheat like PB. Server Admins can't punish in any way so obvious cheaters rule the server.  
I heard that there are changes coming, but I don't have any details. Can anyone confirm this?

My two babies!
