i'm back

sorry for the lack of updates lately. i have an obsessive personality and i think I got kind of obsessed with blogging for a little while. not too much has been going on lately. i accepted my new job yesterday, got pulled over going 42 in a school zone (obv got a ticket, been pulled over ~5 times, ticket every time), surgery is tuesday at 5:30a, i'm moving back home this weekend, softball started monday and i didn't play, got tickets for John Mayer in indy the weekend of july 4 (7 rows back!!), "won a trip" to vegas, and the master's are on tv. that's a rly long sentence. anyway, i love the masters, such a pretty golf course, really looks amazing especially in hd.. so i'm going to go watch that instead of enabling you stalkers.

have a good day!

do this

Put Madness to a good cause - Paul Daugherty, Cincinnati Enquirer

Katy Hines is my cousin. and when i say cousin, i mean it in the way that black people use it. katy and i aren't actually related by blood, but her family were very close to our family and i called her parents aunt and uncle my whole life.

lame brag

i was chatting with a friend of mine here at work a few weeks back, just shooting the shit talking about our time here at this wonderful company. he told me he'd put in a good word with his boss for me. i've heard this from people before and usually nothing comes from it, i didn't expect this to be any different. however, it was different. apparently the senior directors of both the global supply chain and sourcing department have been "fighting" over me for the past couple weeks. over the past 2 days i've heard from my boss that the position title is sourcing coordinator and will most likely start by june 1, if not sooner (depending on how long i'm out for on short term disability), and that it comes with a 21% increase in pay. maybe the best part of all of this: i don't have to interview for the position.

it's been a good morning :-)

i love march

this is by far the best time of the year for sports. 3 weeks of basketball followed by the masters.
this is what i came up with on my first try, i'm sure i'll change a game or two by the time i have to turn my brackets in. the first time i filled it out i had all four number 1 seeds in the final four, i think there's a realistic chance of that actually happening this year.

ca$h cab

cash cab is one of the coolest shows on tv. i've become an avid watcher of this show and since i've started watching, i've decided that my life will not be complete until i am on this show. have you seeeeen the new season?! double the money and a loooot more red light challenges!!!! discovery channel, monday thru friday at 6p.
i haven't been to new york city in a while, but the next time i go i'm going to devote an entire day to riding around the city in van cabs with the hopes of finding benjamin bailey and the cash cab. when i DO actually make it in the cash cab, i'm pretty sure i'll know it right away and ben won't be able to trick me with his fake accents, nor will he be able to trick me into thinking i got a question wrong by doing that fake out thing he does. i dont get how people fall for the latter, but whatever. suckers. also, i feel that anyone who doesn't go for the video bonus question should have to forfeit their winnings. grow some gamble people, the question is NOT that hard!!
