Must be all that capitalism.

I picked the Indian company. As a consideration to the other companies who spent time putting a bid together, I told them who I picked and why.
The guy from Colorado, the runner-up, sent me a frustrated e-mail. He said he knew for a fact that nobody in India speaks English natively and that my project will be doooomed. DOOOOOOMED! Turn back now!

I agree with you. Are you going to Tawnya's for thanksgiving?

I would have gone with the Indian company if they agreed to supply me with curries and naan.
Had an interesting situation today:
Company A, a company based in Bangalore, India, gave me a bid of $1,000 for the project I talked about in my last entry.
Company B, a guy working out of his home in Colorado, bid $1,750 for the same project.
Assuming that both companies are telling the truth about timing, quality and all that -- the Indian company sounds...

Oh no! Mustang, we hardly knew ye. Now we probably can't fit 27 people in it anymore. That sucks.

Today's journal entry is called, The Importance of Showing Up.
Here's the setup: yesterday, I contacted twenty-three different research companies -- all who had purchased very expensive listings in a trade magazine under the heading of "coding" (data processing) services. I provided the specs for two research studies and said that the projects were going to happen in about two-weeks time, so I was...

Dude, if that was serious I am truly honored by the compliment. And we should hang out more.

Look, I've felt bad about our conversation last week. I'm glad you cared enough to say something, even if what you said wasn't what I wanted to hear.
Had a rough day.
The bookkeeping class was illuminating. There's a lot of tricks in finance that aren't about finance at all, but about figuring out when you've been an idiot.
Rock on.
One of the decisions I should have made years ago was to honestly look at what I had going for me, and market it. A good example is that I can program...

Things will get better, atleast its only been one day right? Plus you have kitties to make you happy. 
LankaKitten, my wife, tagged me, so here's 20 things you probably don't know about me:
1. Witnessed a gang shooting at a chinese arcade once. The gangster guy took it point blank in the stomach. Pow! (Cue screaming teenagers stampeding out onto the street.)
2. I had bad constipation problems in 5th grade. I often went two weeks without sitting on a toilet. Then...

Nope, got a date, and she's not in fighting bowling shape, so we're staying in.

Nice! Ill remember to tie myself down if I ever ask someone to marry me.
A customer of mine was wrapping up his year-end accounts and discovered that he hadn't paid me for three research studies back in Spring, so he asked for an invoice. I put it together and realized that it came out to $13,000, which is a lot of money on an individual level, but on a business level it's just enough to start thinking about re-investing...

Hah, never mind. I bought it and downloaded it. I have a char named Seraphym on Triumph, I hope that's where you guys are at.

Are bars as risky as restaurants? What kind of atmosphere or crowd would you aim to have? Like the booze-making, it's a very cool idea for a business - and thankfully more realistic.
Every year, for halloween, I'm too busy to make a costume. It feels, shitty. And so we're here in Seattle, a new state for us, and this year we've got costumes. Even better, I've made mine, which has caused endless eye-rolling with the missus, who is not a fan of rave culture.
But I keep beading away, assembling my army of bracelets and pacifiers, glowsticks...

Hah, I don't know when she has them. However I've got an insider. A good friend of mine in the advertising department is gonna look around for her. He's a popular kid to so hopefully it won't be that hard.

YAY! I'm all excited! We bought the container to put the keg in today. I don't even like beer, so the Ketel will be good to have around. I also burned six CDs to boogey down to. Maybe now I should work on my costume, eh?

Don't tell anyone, but I hit that cursive A that night.
And I think I have actually seen you eat swimming rama, no?

try doing the 'faux hawk'. it might be rad.
jesus_smash:
I love when people don't like how their hair looks, 'cause I just sit back and say "at least you still have more than I do". But hey, I understand. I had a full head of hair about six or seven years ago. So I know where you're coming from. Just take comfort in knowing it will grow back. And dread the day it doesn't.

The good: worked out today for the first time in months.
The bad: got a haircut that's so bad, I may just wear a beanie until December.
Pictures may be forthcoming.

That's so awesome! I will HAVE to knit you a beanie for Christmas now! (But the bad haircut thing sucks, you know, for you.

Sounds like your haircut might work perfectly for your costume!
Tipsy three times in just half a week. I'm either becoming an alcoholic or a normal guy...

YES, bah, it happens to me constantly at work. There's always some work-around that I FINALLY realize when it should have been so simply obvious in the first place.
Anyway they gave me vicadin but that shit doesn't do anything for me.
Isn't that song great? I randomly found that guy while rummaging through myspace one day. Cool name too, Alcoholiday.
