Well, I suppose there’s no way around it: the merging of Social Wars and Network Wars was a failure. Too much social for most, not enough network for everyone. On the bright side it’s usually Rob getting mad at us for not focusing on the network games, while this time he found himself addicted to the same thing half of us were.
Guitar Hero.
Vince brought his brother’s Playstation 2 along and a copy of the game. Think Dance Dance Revolution with a five-buttoned guitar controller instead of a dance pad. The game is insanely addictive and a few of us just took turns going at it over and over again. Kudos to Rob for being the one to actually finish “Bark at the Moon” on Medium.
The brewery tour was highly entertaining and very informative, I’d strongly urge anyone with even the most remote amount of interest in the production of beer to head to Nobleton and meet up with Phil DiFonzo at King Brewery. He took a lot of time with us, showed us all there was to see, and even cracked open a fresh bag of dark Munich malt for us to taste. Rob and I snagged some official King glasses and I picked up the new Ontario Craft Brewers book as well.
So now it’s back to the grindstone for a bit, but I’ll definitely have to book a proper Network Wars before the end of the year to make up for this debacle.
BTW, Mary started her new job as a Human Resources Pharmacy Associate today for Zellers/HBC. The new co-workers sound very nice, and it’ll be great to see her working for a company that respects their employees rather than the previous one who worked her to death for years only to let her go with no reason given. I’ll refrain from saying the things I want to, but suffice to say, anyone familiar with said company knows exactly what I’d say anyways.
