Under Construction

Patrick was putting sheet metal up his new barn last summer. His dad was helping him and his 2 year old son was playing nearby. A gust of wind caught a piece of the metal. Patrick, not knowing where his son was exactly put his arm out to stop the fall of the sheet metal and protect his son. The sheet metal sliced his arm so badly he required 26 stitches.

Dude that's nothing!

I was helping Patrick add onto his garage a couple of years ago and he SHOT ME IN THE CHEST with an air nailer.

Patrick says he didn't do it. He'll tell you that I was standing on a ladder reaching my arm up and over a beam and aiming the air nailer back towards myself in an effort nail one board to another and that I shot myself. But it's not true. He totally shot me in the chest.

Restore From Backup

Last night, Patrick worked until 12:30 AM to get the BizTalk server running again for the demo with an important government agency. He had to restore from back up at around 8:30 pm and then redeploy the software.

Dude that's nothing!

This one time, I had to work for 128 hours straight to get this server up for a super secret branch of the CIA.

I had to set up double mojo encryption on the box, but then Jerry download a virus that Scotty on Patrol couldn't recognize and I ended up rebuilding the server from scratch with cornflakes.
