Update from the President and CEO of Top Class Actions 

Good morning! I hope you’re doing well! Did you get yesterday off? I worked a bit more than a half day so I consider it off! We upgraded our servers over the weekend so I hope you notice a BIG performance improvement! We have! Things are super speedy now at Top Class Actions. If you got any page errors in the past month or so (especially on Tuesdays) you shouldn’t any more. We switched hosts, moved to our own dedicated server architecture, and are working hard to make sure that you can easily and QUICKLY access all of the settlements and lawsuits updates on Top Class Actions. That’s what I got to do on Friday night and Saturday morning. IT migration and QA work to make sure the site’s performing as needed. Monday morning was spent spinning down the old host. Thankfully my beautiful wife took girls out so I could get my work done. Marrying an entrepreneur isn’t easy, as she will attest!

On the home front, today should be fun. We’re heading to a friend’s house for a small BBQ. It’s one of those big life changes that happen when you have kids. Before kids it would be have been a big party with lots of people and no kids. Now it’s a small party, just our two families, and our kids who all love playing with each other. Nowadays the friends I hang out with the most are those that have kids my kids love to play with. I still have my old buddies who I can call if I ever need ANYTHING, but, I just can’t see them as often as I used to. I never understood that when I was 30 and didn’t have kids. WHY CAN’T MY BUDDIES COME AND HANG OUT?!?! WHY DON’T THEY WANT TO HAVE SOME BEERS AND WATCH SOME FOOTBALL?!?!? Priorities change for good reason. I’m looking forward to seeing our friends and instead of hearing “Hey Scott, check THIS out!!!” followed by a crash I will hear “Daddy, watch this!” followed by a crash and occasional tears. I guess some things don’t change. ;) I hope you had a great holiday!
