I cannot believe its been over 2 months?!?! Are there metrics on this thing? I'd like to see my reach and know if anyone actually reads this blog. The lack of activity here shows just how busy I've been I guess.
Quick Recap
- got a new car
- went to Anime Expo
- Disneyland
- Been playing lots of paintball
- shaved my head
That's whats been new. Work wise, I've they've really been working me. My days are long, my mornings are short. Not enough time in the day and not enough sleep in the night. What else is new amirite?
Sometimes I think of going back to school and maybe even go to a different path. I think when I hit my 2 year mark here, I'll really start reevaluating my career.
Upcoming events: Blizzcon, Vegas, CES(I hope!)
If you really wanna stalk me, I update my Twitter daily. It's the widget on the left of this page.
well.. so i rarely post. twitter has taken over my blogging life, but i should update this from time to time.
in response to my last post, i'll say that i did it. i got one. it took a couple weeks, but i finally did it and im happy. i wont go into details yet, but i will say i got the full package and its good.
so now im really determined to buy a new car. i keep bouncing back around with all the different cars id like to purchase. this shit is annoying.
i hate the pressure of having to get a "nice" car. everyone around me is trying to get that new lexus or beemer. i wouldnt mind a lex, but i cant afford a beemer. and a lex would probably push it. aint trying to spend all my bank on monthly payments and shit.
this past month, ive been eying the mazda3 and the genesis coupe. its hard to get a test drive for the genesis, the dealers are hella chintzy with it. i test drove the mazda3. nice package, drives smooth, the most practical choice. but i still wanna floss, so i keep looking up those damn acuras, lexuses and infintis. fuckin christ.
im learning how to drive manual now too. im pretty good at it, but ill stall every now and then. i think its fun and im up for getting a manual car, but everyones telling me not to. yea its auto is more convenient, but i think its pretty fun shifting and shit. maybe ill just get one of those sport shift things. ehh..
this sucks man. ive been talking about this for the past year and a half, and i finally wanna get something, but i feel like im back to square one again.
convinced the girl to get a blackberry. hell yes!
the latter half of last month was fuckin busy. work took up all of my weeknights and the weekends were dedicated to snowboarding.
this month, i also snowboarded on the weekends, but watched.... oh i gotta go now.
What's a little thing you do every day that brightens the lives of those around you?

activity on my blog!
What keeps you up at night?
this month, work stress has been keeping me up at night. ive been working with a particular business unit in my company to get some content ready for their section of the site. i set deadlines, resources and a time line. they aimed at the 24th. not sure why, but thats what they wanted. anyway, they missed all their deadlines, they dont deliver the content i need to post and im basically holding their hands through their own project. its a real pain in the ass.
i gave them a deadline of this morning or else the 24th wont be reached. after they hand over the content, they call me up saying they want more changes to be done. the content is on rev9 now. how many times do you really need to write up a few pages of text? soooo disorganized. theres about nine writers in this project. the point of contact has changed around through 10 different people now. its stressing me out because i know my team will get yelled at if this doesnt work out. i dont understand how its our bad when these kids arent doing their hw, but thats how the breaks are out here. annoying as shit.
gotta say... best marketing pull ive seen in awhile. the set up was great, the execution is pretty good so far. great job jack in the box! ingenious way to do some pull and penetration. *applaud*
Ughh. What do you do when one of your coworkers constantly let their emotions run wild at work?
I've got this person that has no fucking tact. She's always bitching about something, someone, everyone. Hey, the great thing is, she doesn't discriminate right? She HATES everyone equally. No matter how cool you are with her, no matter how "close" you are, she will shoot bullets at you like a fuckin terrorist.
You should see the emails she pushes out. The tone in her writing is always demeaning and "holier than thou." One day, I'll be on her good side, the next, I'll be on her hit list. Bipolar is the best way to describe it.
I bet if she reads this she'll get all butthurt and try to defend her attitude at work. I had another coworker that tried to talk to her as a friend since she asked for advice. What does she do? She pulls rank and says "You can't talk to your boss like that!" Why the fuck did she ask for advice and criticism? If you can't take the heat, I don't gotta type the rest. BTW, she ain't my boss in case you're wondering.
Fuckin attitude problem. Hey, its good to be proactive, its good to be on top of things and get shit done. It's not good to be aggressive, its not good to be pushy, its not good to be a douche. They can be good traits, but have some fucking tact please.
The bitch damn near yells at me through email because I ask a question. COME THE FUCK ON IM JUST THE FUCKIN MESSENGER.
I can go all day bitching about her. This is the first time I'm documenting it. I guess the steam is blowing off the lid now.
