Bet, Check or Fold

If I just start typing, an idea for an update will pop into my head...  Waiting... Any time now... Hmmmmm.... I have lots of idea's, but they either suck, or I have whined about them enough already.

Well, there is this one issue...  The other day at work, I overheard a discussion in the cube next to me.  An employee that I know pretty well was inviting a new employee to a regular poker game.  I, have never been invited to this poker game.  I have previously talked to a friend of mine (who worked for this client briefly) about my relationship with the employees at this firm, and he said that everyone viewed me as "important" or "executive".  I never really saw myself as "important", at this company, just a mid-level IT guy trying  to keep all the systems working.  So now I am wondering (again) how the people I work with at this company perceive me.  I thought I was friends with the poker-playing dude, but yet I was not invited to his game.  I am not completely distraught over this, but I am more then a bit curious.  Years ago I would have taken this very hard, as a sign that I was not "likable".  But I know that is not the case.  I would like to know why I am not invited to the game though...

He may view you as executive who don't get invited to employee anything.

Ah well.

We are implementing VMware ESXi as well. Totally new ground for me but I love it so far. :)
