Hoffa, World Cup, and the IRS
I thought it be a good idea to recap what became of some of the blog posts that I wrote over the last month. For all those inquisitive minds… here you go.
Email insanity lasted for 4 days... I can't believe that someone didn’t loose their job. This general list had hundreds of supervisors, managers, and several VP’s on it. We even had a senior manager respond to all during this event. It got so bad that at the end we had responses to all with questions on how can I get something done, does anyone know how to contact such and such, and who wants to go to the bar.
The World Cup fever is still on fire as the quarter finals are 3/4 done with only the Brazil v. France match to. Home team Germany keeps got past the Argentinean team on penalty kicks. The Italian soccer team keeps its fans happy by outscoring the young Ukrainian Team. The much-anticipated match between England and Portugal ended as Portugal won on penalty kicks. Give England credit for playing shorthanded for over 60 minutes, as Rooney was red carded and David Beckham was substituted for after an injury. I wonder if it outdrew the previous English TV viewership. Evidently, the Ecuador v. English match drew a 79% English TV audience. That is why the World Cup is so hot.
We got our “Tax Return” back from the IRS. They even gave us interest on the large sum of money that we overpaid. That’s right folks… we got a check for $2.01.
Hoffa is still missing and the fly situation has calmed down a bit but has not been fully eradicated. Unfortunately, we still haven’t found the source.
My sleep pattern has gotten much more manageable. At least I can sleep soundly for 4 – 5 hours before waking up and the multiple rock music stations playing at the same time have subsided.
And finally… As my buddy used to say “the fix is on.” Who would have known that that the NBA wanted Miami to win the series. Shaq and Dwayne got all the calls to win the NBA “world championship.”

Great recap. . . summed up the month of June on your blog really well.
Ciao
Here are some viewing figures for the World Cup:
England's World Cup exit at the hands of Portugal was watched in 19 million homes across the country.
According to overnight ratings an average of 16.2 million households tuned in for the game, shown live on BBC One on Saturday, with viewer figures peaking at 19 million.
However the game failed to match the 19.9 million that watched England's group game with Sweden on 20 June and was almost five million viewers down on England's exit from Euro 2004.
That's a heck of a lot of people!
