I wish I had worked at a clothing store, like in the mall or something, during high school. I would know so much more about fashion and style and probably would have met some cool people as well.
I went shopping for some nice sweatshirts/sweaters, but found out that most stores only carry hoodies and these weird zip-up jackets that don't even appear to be that warm. The "sweaters" at the Gap were paper-thin. Next store!
Finally, I found a store that carried normal sweaters, but it was kinda big, so I asked if they had it in a small. Somehow, the "small" ended up being bigger than the medium. Not sure how that even works out, so I ended up just keeping the medium. It still looks pretty pimp.
When I was paying, the (hot) girl remarked that there was a guy at her high school who has the same last name as me. That's not something I hear every day. So I asked what school she went to. Her response: go fuck yourself, you pedophile. JK! Wylie. Where the hell is Wylie?

happy hour
my company has made some improvements this past week to finally move closer to becoming a real software development firm.
the most significant step: happy hour!
i was honestly surprised at how many people showed up today. normally, i try and organize events and they either are pretty successful or fall compeletely flat. luckily, happy hour seemed to be an enjoyable evening for all. it was an eclectic mix of co-workers, friends, ex-co-workers, and friends of friends. i told people that we'll try and do it once a month. fox and hound proved to be somewhat of a disappointment with the service though. maybe we can find some other bar that'll actually get you more than a drink an hour.
we're having an official company party tomorrow as well... so basically, it'll be somewhat a repeat of tonight, except the drinks will free and there will be pool and bowling to boot!
so yes, that's two company parties and a happy hour for 2006 and it's not even valentine's day! i knew you had something left to prove 2006, and it looks like we're on our way...

New Job(?)
Today I officially moved out of the company that has employed me for the past year and a half.
Where am I now? you ask. Across the hall, working with the same people and under the same CEO as before.
Depending on who I ask, the two companies will either be entirely separate entities focusing on different tasks, or basically one company with two divisions.
The great part is that it's essentially agreed that my team will definitely still be working with the old company.
One of the reasons I was so excited about leaving was that I wouldn't have to work with certain people ever again, but the realization that I probably will have to work very closely with those people is slowly sinking in.
Yikes.

Breakfast
One of my new year's resolutions was to start eating breakfast more regularly.
So I've tried that, but it seems that whenever I do have something to eat, I get even more hungry when it gets close to lunchtime.
I dunno if I'm not eating enough in the morning, or maybe just the wrong type of food.
