So after using a q-tip to remove one-to-many gants from behind my eye today I decided its time to invest in a pair of sun-glasses to use while I ride.
I figure if I shop at the end of the summer (or start of fall, I’m not too sure) I should get a pretty decent price right? Ugh, something else to spend money on, but if I never have to go through the above experiance again, I can die a happy man.
Apple you whore… why does 1 gig of RAM from you cos 300 bucks!? My computer only cost $479! That means the memory to upgrade it cost 63% as much as the machine!!! Agh… something else to spend money on…
Sorry for the lack of post / entertainment value by me as of late.
I’ve been feeling pretty ‘not so good.’ It started early last week and then followed into a case of food poisoning on Friday, making for a weekend mostly spent in bed.
Here’s to hoping I’m 100% on Monday!
I was working in this building today: Center City Shaken.
Basically we heard some loud sounds (which were apparently explosions.) We took the elevator to the lobby (we should not have.) And there was black smoke and fire trucks and crazy amounts of people.
Read this excerpt from this article:

Pope Benedict XVI “sincerely regrets” offending Muslims with his reference to an obscure medieval text that characterizes some of the teachings of Islam’s founder as “evil and inhuman,” the Vatican said Saturday.
But the statement stopped short of the apology demanded by Islamic leaders around the globe, and anger among Muslims remained intense. Palestinians attacked five churches in the West Bank and Gaza over the pope’s remarks Tuesday in a speech to university professors in his native Germany.
Um… does anyone find this response a bit dumb? The pope called the teachings of Islam “evil and inhumane,” so the response of the Palesinians is to attack churches. Talk about fulfilling a stereotype.
Ok. One of the ost amazing places I have ever been! Alma de Cuba. So good. We went there for a happy hour after work today and it was so much fun. Really good mojitos and tapas.
I seriously considered taking my grand parents there in a few weekends but I am thinking its a little to trendy for them. But it makes me want to go to Cuba that much more.
So in the past four weeks, I have flown four times. Two out of those four times I have had problems with US Airways. The first time they lost my luggage. The second time, my flight is about 8 hours delayed and it’s the last flight out. At this point it’s the last day of training and I want to get the hell out of Orlando.
On the advice of what I’m going to call an airline veteran I went to the airport, stood in the first class / preferred line (of which I am neither) and put a smile on my face as I approached the ticket agent. I told her my predicament and asked very nicely if she could put me on the earlier flight (which was leaving in about 30 minutes.) She mumbles, types a whole bunch of things into her computer and out prints a ticket. Woot! My fellow collogues followed my lead and tried the same, they got charged a $25 change of flight fee, hehe, must have been the smile.
Moral of the story, pretend you’re important and people will think you are.
Now that training is over, I am back in Philadelphia and ready to start work on a client in center city. This should be interesting, as I worked for them last year and remember the structure of their organization. However it’s going to be very weird being an associate, not an intern. I no longer feel as if I can do no wrong. I can be fired and out of a job and bankrupt so quick its not even funny.
Rent’s expensive.
P.S. I love fall and sort of can’t wait for it to happen.
