Whataburger no more

So, had a bad experience, and I have no problem not eating there any more. There are lots of places to get food, and Whataburger will no longer be on my list, since apparently their motto is "go to HEB, get the ingredients, and make it yourself" (which in my mind is a big F you to the loyal, patient consumer).

CP and Becca

It's just me and Becca chillin' in the (former) office of the (former) CARPOOL apartment. We are getting ready for the move by making sure nothing moves on its own.

Accenture and more GH3

So I had my first office visit today with Accenture . I thought Tiger might have been there but he must have been strategizing on another floor. The interview went well I think. If I don't get an offer, then at least I tried. Other than that, I have been dominating Stephen at GH3. I have blown his wimpy scores out of the water. He is no match. I think that's it for today. It's been a busy couple of weeks, and I think I won't get much of a break til after finals (mini-break over Thanksgiving).

Guitar Hero 3 and Sore Fingers

Wow is this game fun! I am not sure how I am going to get any work done this week. We will see. I had an interview Friday, but it got bumped, so I am getting to go to Houston instead to see Meg and work at Fluor. Other than that, it will be guitar hero, and CP apps (due tomorrow). See you from the apt (maybe).

Sunday night and GHIII

Guitar Hero 3 is out and I think I would like it. I am gonna get leopard as well, so thats exciting too. Makes me want a whole new imac. Oh well. Too bad macbooks can't dock very easily. Inclusion Workshop was fun. I am glad they get interesting people to do them. KBR interview tomorrow, and I think I need to iron my pants. We will see how that goes in the morning.

CP and BUSY

Just a quick look at a busy night of CARPOOL. We are taking a TON of people home tonight. It is pretty sweet. But I am busy and tired and want the phone to stop ringing. Here's to breaking records and patient patrons.

UNT and Accenture rocked

Well, I am here in Dallas. It was a nice ride up yesterday (we must protect this house). I am here with CARPOOL to make a presentation to some bigwigs at UNT so they may hopefully start a similar program. As far as yesterday goes, it felt like I knocked the second Accenture interview out of the park. I would have preferred different days for the third interview (if I get one), but I will just have to wait and see.

Accenture and CP

It was a nice little tuesday. Got some school work done. Took a test and feel ok about it. And (much to my surprise) scored a second interview. I say to my surprise because he asked me a lot about Accenture and I was not prepared. But, perhaps he liked me and wanted me to be more prepared at the next interview. Time will tell, but if so, I'd like to say thanks to Mike. Anyways, more CARPOOL about to take over my life. See you tomorrow.

New York and New York

Wow what a great trip. Got to see some great art, see some great culture, eat some great food, and watch a great show. And best of all, I get to share it with my wonderful girlfriend Meg. Love You.

The Office and night before

Well, one night til we leave. I'm excited. The Office was very well written. Many subtle one-liners like "my family hasn't spoken to me on the advice of council " from Jan. Just awesome. I am out for the weekend, but I will be back Monday with lots of stories and hopefully not a lust of NY.

Back and Pre-NY

I'm back. We will see for how long (a long time I hope). I am making a commitment to be more into this, so here's to the comeback. If it wasn't for school and work and CARPOOL and relationships and Halo 3 and the Wii then I would be doing a 5 minute ze frank-style show everyday.

CP and up early

The most disappointing part of my day thus far was when I got up early and went to this little donut place that is way out of my way only to find out that they are out of business. Seriously in today's fat world, how does a donut place go out of business.

American Beauty and Shiner

Well, today was fairly productive. I got some office work done, I got some CP work done, and I watched some movies and drank some good beer. What a nice day.

Rome show and back in CS

Well, I'm back in CS and it feels soooo good. Sleeping in, eating pizza, watching giant TV... Life is nice. But it looks like I have some work to do tonight, but I'll be back tomorrow for sure.

Jury Duty

So, I am in the courthouse waiting area right now. I've got my macbook hooked up to the internet via my bluetooth cellphone. Technology is a good thing. I am gonna go back to checking stocks every 15 minutes.

What's a JMOment?

Maybe I should have done this one first. Yeah, I should have started with this. Oh well.

Work and AAPL

AAPL is up! Despite the iPhone only selling 270,000 in the first 2 days (the first of which began at 6 PM), Apple still managed to rake in $5.41 Billion. As I write this on a Macbook, and own a Mac Mini, and wish I had an iPhone, I can see why they are so successful. Keep it up Steve.

More movies and Baby Party

Doing this at night is much better. Maybe I'll wait til later to summarize the end of my day. This one is too long I think. 1 Minute target from now on.

Woot Off!

What a great time for a Woot Off! I am off of work tomorrow, so I can stay up late and check out all the good deals. Maybe this will be my first time to grab a BOC. Hopefully there won't be too much to buy. I get paid next week.

Entourage and Bluetooth

So, I am pretty excited, because I am sending this from a laptop in a car! That's right, it's internet anywhere from here on out. Nothing's holding me back now.

Loving Entourage

What a great show.  Nothing helps the summer season of no network TV like the boys from Brooklyn.  I guess most of the good stuff (24, Lost) doesn't come around til 2008 anyway.  Who's idea was it to make a hit show, then start cutting back.  Either way, Scrubs and The Office will make for a very nice fall.

Walmart = Bad, but Associates are worse

If you hate Wal-Mart and all of that, then why would you work there for 6,12, or 17 years? Plus, don't show me 1.5 hours of how people here have it so bad making $7.00 an hour, just to then turn around and show me 10 minutes of millions of other people who make $7.00 a week.

Long Monday and Office Space

Well, yesterday was pretty tiring. I hope today I can get some more done.

Design is happening

Well, I finally got around to changing the design last night. I can't seem to get away from blacks and light blues. For now, here is a quick vid from Friday night.

First Post

Just a trial run here. Thank Meg for the name.
