Big highlight of the workweek was probably a new system in the IncidentBase where it should automatically handle a large portion of the need to track whether users need to be called back a second time or the Incidents closed - both are now handled automatically. Hopefully that'll go well. Other than that not much interesting. Finished up some stuff and started working on stuff that had been sitting around for a while. Friday was break for students, but we had to work. Sorta annoying since there's nobody around so it feels like it should be a vacation day but it's not...

Saturday I didn't get to sleep in since the plan was to leave my parents' place at around 9am to head up to St. John's for the football game. Was a good trip, and took a lot of pics. Ended up using a 70-200mm 2.8L lens with a 2x teleconverter on my Rebel for the game. That was nice since it meant I had an effective lens length over over 650mm and could sit up above the stands and get good shots of guys on the field. :) At one point some security guy even came up to us and asked if we had media passes. Which is sorta funny when you realize St. John's doesn't really have them. And that we were out on the way to the parking lot to do some tailgaiting after being in the stadium already. Unfortunately Bethel lost horribly, which was bad since Bethel thought they had a good chance and the St. Johns team had been sorta freaked out about the game all week. After the game took some other pics over one of the lakes with the chapel and the trees on the way out. Then some more scenic stuff too at Lake Maria state park. Now my arm is a bit sore from carrying that thing around all day though. :(
