Baby Finances

My boss (for the week at least -- who really knows who I'm supposed to report too, or when my new boss will actual return to being my new boss) the CTO told me straight up that he had seen my resume online. It was a very Bridget Jones' Diary moment. FUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK! I posted it about a week ago after a talk with my then new boss (not my acting boss last week.) He had called me into his office earlier in the week for a "brainstorming" session on how the inside sales group would need to change to support all the new sales people we are trying to hire. The majority of the solutions that I offered were basically changing my position from a mainly technical position, to a mainly sales position. Then, later in the week, when we were meeting about something different I made a comment about how I knew I did not want to go into sales. He says "but all the suggestions offered up were basically making your position into more of a sales position." ...

I would like to throw one of my co-workers overboard of a cruise ship... Yet again, I had to suffer through a terrible smell of horrible fake maple syrup. Real maple syrup smells good, and real. Fake maple syrup smells .... fake. The secretary at work INSISTS upon eating a maple flavored oatmeal every few days. She absolutely refuses! to eat it in the cafeteria. Instead, she prepares it there, and then walks down a long hallway between cubes -- making the entire company able to smell it. I smell it in my cube, I smell it in the copy room, I smell it in the reception area where she sit. I smell it when I go to the bathroom. I litterally smell it everywhere in the company. Everyone else smells it too. The vast majority detest the smell, and have told her so (including me -- repeatedly.) I even went so far as to suggest that she eat it in the cafeteria to contain the smell. (I don't think this is unreasonable -- do you?) One person has said that they like the smell -- fuc...

What is up with people from high school and the facebook lately? I've had like a bigillizion people from high school request to add me as a friend or in some group, or some "friend detail" whatever the fuck that is. What is up with the re-hashing of high school? Do you people think that it was better times than now? Are you just nastalogic since you are a year out of college? Lonely? Bored? WTF is up with it this weekend? And what the fuck is up with everyone getting married already???? Jesus Christ -- it's like an epidemic. I know some people who read this will never understand the complete disinterest I have towards the facebook -- and others will totally relate. I have no want/desire to gain "facebook friends" IE people who I barely recognize pointing out that I'm their "friend" because it makes them feel more popular or something. I adimently refuse to add any friends on facebook -- and thus the only people I am "friends" ...

Well, DC was fun if you consider standing on your feet all day answering asinine questions and everything around you is soaking wet -- because you are in a tent in a parking lot. I did have a chance to go to downtown DC for a couple hours. Stopped by Neuhaus and bought a whole lot o' chocolate. Then walked down part of the national mall, but a lot of things were closed b/c it was like 5pm. Didn't take an pictures b/c I didn't have a camera. The first day of the show was pretty bad -- no demonstration stuff available b/c other people at the company hadn't gotten it together. There were a few people that stopped by -- and I got a little bit of market information. The second day was terrible. I didn't have access to email b/c the night beofre the hotel internet went out. It had rained that night, making everything in the booth wet -- soaking just about everything. Then the wind started to blow, not only making it cold -- but it tipped over a couple displays fro...

I bought the COOLEST kitchen gadet on the face of the planet. A culinary torch. At was a little fussy at first -- but once the flame really got going it was awesome. After eating tons of creme brulee in france, I knew that the next kitchen gadet i was going to buy would have to be the torch. It is litterally the most fun thing in my kitchen. Who needs a stove when I've got a torch! So after eating one of the three creme brulees I made yesterday (which were actually pretty easy to make -- email me if you want the recipe), it is very clearly that is is the best kitchen purchase EVER! Well my body definate does not like the excersize I've been making it do lately -- and has been protesting heartily in the form of shin splints. If you've ever had shin splints you know how disabilitating they are. Really freaking obnioxious. Just when you're getting into the swing of things -- your body bites back and basically just screams at you anytime you try to walk. I guess n...
