Long and short of it. Anheuser-Busch's marketing people are retarded. They marketed a "water" drinking game to bars where adults socialize can play games. How stupid do you have to be? Or naive? Why would you market a game like that to places that primarily serve alcohol? This is one promotion that A-B should have known was not going to have their ( Read more... )

So I went to the WEBN fireworks last night. Had a blast. It was me, Clayton, Schroeder, and Larry and we spent the night drinking and walking ( Read more... )

So, despite my best efforts, I sit here at work, falling further and further behind. I already asked for one extension of time on my project and I have until tuesday to complete it. I don't think that'll be enough time. I scheduled back-to-back sales tax audits for 2 companies this month, and am really paying the piper. I'm tired, I'm behind, and I ( Read more... )

Ok. This shared payables service center is causing more problems than it seems like its worth. Between invoices being lost between here and there, duplicate payments, payments never made, and voids never made, it seems like I end every phone call with a client with "All I can say at this point is 'I'm Sorry'". It's frustrating, the good thing ( Read more... )

I received my degree yesterday. I am so happy now. I did nothing but carry it around for about 2 hours. It's such an accomplishment for me, and I am so happy to have it. Next step in my life is to take the GMAT and then move on to grad school. I'm also going to start looking for houses...that's right, a house and not an apartment ( Read more... )

It's Friday. My second week of full-time work is coming to a close, and I couldn't be happier. Next week is going to be rough, I have to deal with a sales tax audit, and therefore will not be in a great mood. I've done a lot of work in these 2 weeks, but I think June will be a lot better since I'll be able to have a months worth of work, and handle ( Read more... )

Ok. I'm upset. I've been losing big money playing poker recently and just can't get out of my funk. I may have to take a weekend off just to recover. By big money, I mean, I sat for 2 hours and ended up losing $84. It sucked. I still have about $40 in my account and I am actually playing as I type. I just need to get back around $100 in my account ( Read more... )

I finally won a decent-sized poker tournament. I came in first place out of 35 people to win $750. Car payment, insurance for the month, and a party next saturday. Yay me! :-D

So, I saw The Grudge tonight. That'll sober you up qui-ick. I wish Jason, Matt, and I had decided to go see Team America instead. I had never been to a movie that makes you sit on the edge of the seat waiting and wondering when the next freak-out was going to occur. Maybe I'm just a wuss, but I think that every 2 minutes there was a spot where I ( Read more... )

Went out with Nikki again last night. It was enjoyable ( Read more... )
