I went to a Bastille Day party last night. It was fun, but I had no idea that the French liked scotch quite so much. It's also quite nice to have someone else hosting the party for once, since I don't have to clean up.
Got an offer on Saturday from Roche to buy the 10 or so stocks I have in my company. It won't come to much, but I really could use the money to pay off loans, debts, etc. The issue is, I'm going to get penalized by my company-I won't be able to buy stock at the discounted price again until 2009. However, there are some... Read More
Happy 5th of July everyone (incidentally, that's one of my favorite hyper-realistic depressing plays)!
I went to see Team America: World Police last night at a local theater. It was a sing-a-long. There's something beautiful about a movie theater full of people pumping their fists and yelling "America, fuck yeah!" at the appropriate parts. Yes, it was ironic. What's more, is they had hot dogs... Read More
2) Enough humidity to prevent your swamp cooler (essentially a drippy hose with a fan behind it-pushes the air as the water evaporates to cool you) from working
3) The Palo Verde Root Borer. One of my friends asked how much I'd give him if he "teabagged" one. I told him nothing, since I didn't... Read More
No real news today; sorry for the lack of posts. There's been a distinct lack of what is normally termed "Free Time" on my part.
My company is getting bought out by Roche, the Swiss pharmaceuticals giant. It's a hostile takeover. I'm not yet sure how this'll affect me, and I probably won't know for at least a few months. So, stay tuned, I guess.... Read More
I think I _greatly dislike_ the temp at work. The one I told my boss to not hire, because a friend was applying for the same job. My friend would've been much better. I'll get into it some other time.
For now, though, I joined this community supported agriculture thing where you pay a certain amount each season (or each month) and they give you... Read More
Stayed at an "all-inclusive" resort-which meant, basically, food and booze were paid for up front, and the drinks were really kind of weak and not all that good. But they sure were plentiful.
Got to see Tulum, an ancient Mayan temple... Read More
Ok, so _maybe_ I lied when I said "more later" in the last post. It's been a really busy week, although not a particularly eventful one. Had a work dinner with upper-management types last night. Yeah, freaking awesome. Free food and booze though, so I can't really complain.
Next week, I'll be on vacation in the Riviera Maya. I've never been to the Yucatan before,... Read More
