Yesterday was my last day at work. I was scheduled to work until 7 p.m. central, but they decided to take away my access to the systems I need at about 4:30. I stayed and helped out until 6:30, but once we forwarded to our after-hours bureau, I was out the door one last time. It was an emotional day at work. We brought in lunch for the office to celebrate my last day. It was good food and I think everyone enjoyed it.
I had a nice card, signed by everyone in the office, waiting on my desk when I arrived. I'll be honest, I had to choke back some tears when I was reading it. A lot of these people are more like family than co-workers to me after over seven years of working with them. As the day went on, people would leave for the day and we'd have to say our goodbyes, which was hard. As I walked out the door one last time, I couldn't help but to look back and take one last look at the place where I'd spent most of my time since I graduated from college.

Mavs up two games to zero!
Mavs win 99-85. They have a nice position going into these next three games in Miami. Shaq ended up taking just 5 shots and scoring 5 points. Who'da thunk it?
Keeping them at bay
The Mavs are managing to keep the HEAT down by 16 - 20 points, so they are basically keeping Wade and Shaq off the court. Hopefully we won't see either of them again tonight.
Mavs had a nice third period
Mavs up by 24 at the end of the third quarter. HEAT have only managed to score 58 points in three quarters.
I'm liking this game now
Mavs big guys are getting it going and Stack is providing a huge lift from the bench. If Dirk and Josh keep outpacing Shaq and Dwyane Wade, we're in excellent shape. And please, please let them keep passing it to Antoine Walker!
Stack is the MAN!
Stackhouse just killed the HEAT at the end of the half. Mavs up by sixteen thanks to Stack scoring the last 10 points for the Mavs!
Mavs on a run
Dirk and Josh have started hitting some shots and the Mavs are now up seven. Gotta keep big mo on our side.
Not a good finish
Mavs end up the quarter up by one, but it was an ugly end to the quarter. They're going to have to play better than this if they want to go up two games to one.
Need to finish first strong
There is a minute and a half left in the first quarter. They need to finish this strong. The last two minutes haven't been good.
Shaq looks tired
I was expecting an energized Shaq tonight, but he's looking really tired so far. Dirk just sat with two fouls and Van Horn is on for him. Uh oh.
Good Start
Mavs up by six and Riley has to take a time out. I'm not getting too excited yet, but things are looking good so far.
Prediction!
Give me the Mavs in tonight's game. I know a lot of people are picking the heat, but I'm thinking Mavs by seven!
Here we go!
Almost time to start game 2 of the NBA Finals. I hope Shaq isn't too upset by his performance on Thursday night or we could be in for a great deal of Diesel power tonight.
