So What is Your Wii Age?

by

So what is your Wii age? If you have a Nintendo Wii you know what I am talking about. If not you must think I am crazy. I have been doing the Wii workout for about a week now. I am getting better, but I still am averaging a Wii age of 40-50:( I am still working at it.

Wii Fun

by

I finally rewired my TV so I can use the Wii this morning. I can tell you that after on a little while with this thing I can see how addictive it can be. The only limitation is my arm’s began to hurt. As I was breaking in my new system Jayson called and wanted to hang out. He brought his Wii controller over and we went head to head. He has had his Wii for longer so he kicked my ass at Wii Spots. Granted he is in better shape than I, but he did have more practice. After only like two hours I was tired. I am going to try to pace myself and do like about a half an hour a day with this. It is fun though!!!

I Like The Cold, But…

by

As I have said before I am a fan of the cold weather. Part of it is that I get migraines in the excessive heat and I am not conformable at work when it is too hot so cold plus working environment with poor heating is a plus. My last job the heat was like a sauna but my current office is nice when it is cold out, but I digress. The downside of the cold is the lack of exercise for me. I have not been able to get myself mentally in the mood to get a gym membership. That on top of the fact that all the athletic things I like to do require me to be outside makes it difficult to do a work out when it is 30 degrees and snowy. I guess if I have to choose I would still pick the cold over warmer weather!

This Whole Matchmaking Online Is Hard

by

How in the world do people do this whole online dating thing? I have finally agreed that it is a good idea for me since the whole setup from friends and family isn’t really happening. The only problem is how do you be witty and funny when email a bunch of potential dates that you think you have interest in? I mean I know I can be witty and funny, and good at creative writing but this stuff is hard. I have come to realize that part of my problem is my issue with taking posed photos. I cannot smile on queue. It is an affliction I have had since like middle school or earlier. I just cant do it. That factored with I tend to take photos allot so I am not in them as much. Why do people always assume that since I am in the technology field I can use a dam camera (I am talking to you and others Carrie)? I think that may be hindering me but who knows.

Just a bit frustrated, and tired. Mostly tired. I am off to bed…

What’s Next, Ties?

by

I can’t believe it myself, so I have to write it down. I actually bought dress shirts. Well dressy for me. I normally wear Polo’s to work, or as Scott (my friend Scott not me) calls it the IT uniform. My new job doesn’t care if I wear polo’s to work or not. It is within the dress code, but for some reason I took it upon myself to just go out and get some nicer shirts. I got one at Macy’s over the weekend and it didn’t suck wearing it all day earlier this week so I went back and got some more. Jayson showed me the really decent wrinkle free ones that are nice and soft. WIthout a tie it isn’t so uncomfortable to wear at least in the cold weather. I guess I might be growing up? It is still early to tell!

Reno 911

by

I went with Jayson to see Reno 911 the movie today. It was funny, but not funny enough for me to want to go out and rent I when it comes out on DVD. That is my new ranking system. The movie wasn’t bad but it wasn’t spectacular. Before we saw the movie we got to hit White Castle. I have some weird attraction to that fast food place. After the movies we went down to Union Square so Jay could goto a guitar store. After that we hit Heartland Brewery for drinks and food. It was a nice afternoon in the city. I would complain about the cold since we were walking around everywhere but I like the cold even when I bitch about it when I am freezing. At least I am getting my money’s worth out of my new P Coat.

So How Is The New Job?

by

So how is the new job? That is the question that is asked by almost everyone I know. It has been defining my existence for the past 2 weeks. Part of the reason I left my last job was that it was consuming too much of my personal time. The simple fact is I don’t have a good answer to that question yet. I have first impressions, and I do believe that first impressions are very important. The simple fact is I cannot make any judgments yet since I am not yet fully doing the job I was hired for. Lets face it I have said before that most new hires almost anywhere take up to 3 months to settle in and become a productive member of any team. This week I have gotten up to speed on allot of stuff, and even took the lead on some projects that needed work. It is just too early to give a truthful answer to that question. For now lets just say that I think things are moving in the right direction. Lets hope it stays that way.

Drinks with Friends

by

I was able to go out and have a few drinks with Jayson and Danny after work today. I swung by Jayson’s office. Very nice. He really upgraded from our last place. We ended up at the Playwrite. We drank and ended up just drinking at the bar. We talked, and then Danny was able to get away from his new job and then we all drank and talked. It has only been 2 1/2 weeks since we all worked together but allot has been going on so it was nice to catch up.
