Happy New Years!

So tonight should be fun. Going over to Chris' house for a rockin' good time. I've decided to pass out in one of his chairs or on the floor so I don't have to drive home tonight. Probably a good idea. I'm hoping for this to be a good time for all to be had. If you want directions.. here they are:
New Years Party: Go East on Poplar towards Germantown. Turn Left at Kirby. Follow that down and turn Right at Cottingham and cut an immediate Left on the first street on the left. You're going to follow that down a little bit and his house will be on the right. I don't know the exact address. But I'm sure you won't miss it.

Have a happy new year.

The day before New Year's Eve

Today work is going slower than ever. It's not just the fact that there is very little work for most people to do currently. It's that the work that my workgroup consisting of Don (Changed the first letter from "R" to "D" to protect his identity.) and myself actually has, Don insists on claiming it all only to do absolutely nothing. I mean honestly, I've never seen anyone so incredibly bad at multitasking in my life. I've also never heard of the term "half tasking", but let me tell you, he just invented it. This guy literally sends one email and then waits minutes, hours, even days for a response before he can tackle his next huge, intricate task. What's worse is this guy has actually complained to me about not being able to move into management 2 years after he's been at this company, which led me to my next thought. Maybe there's a GOOD REASON. When I complete some trivial task which is usually extremely redundant and Jon tells me good job and that sort of thing. That's fine, but when Don says "Uh, didn't he only do this much?" and then Jon says "No, he did much more." That is absolutely ridiculous. "Ever heard of the concept of other people?" Obviously Don never has and also has no concept of a team.

That being said, I think I may take a late lunch and just not come back assuming I can track down Zach. We're supposed to see Wolf Creek at the Majestic today. We'll see if this movie is worth the hype. Then tonight I'm going to the HiTone to see a reunion show of Snowglobe, a local Memphis band that I actually like. The one local band I actually like and after the first show I saw them at the Young Avenue Deli they broke up immediately. Anywho, hopefully I'll be seeing you at Chris Covington's house for a great New Year's Eve party. Remember: Don't drink and drive. Crash at your friend's house who doesn't want you staying there.

For Reeal

So Nick finally made a blog and I thought I'd join him. http://luckycan.blogspot.com Now I get to keep track of stuff I do, find out, etc so I can remember it as well. Sweet.

Tonight... so today I worked from 9AM to roughyl 9:30 PM with a break only for dinner. I didn't eat lunch. This has got to be one of the worst days ever. I helped reformat this banker's computer and it took about 4 or 5 times as long because Dell's setup is making the processor run at 100%. Good god that sucked. So now I'm working sudokus, listening to www.pandora.com , and drinking some beer. pandora.com is a great internet radio site. I highly recommend it. Goodnight cruel world.
