Things change
Typical morning except I'm stuck at a boring meeting where I know nothing about the concepts zinging around the room. Basically I just check my stocks on my phone (all up today!) or play the texas hold 'em game. Eventually one of my friends is kind enough to call me on my phone so I can excuse myself for a few minutes.
Anyways I check my email and HOLY #@%$ MY BOSS HAS RESIGNED! That was my unexpected WTF moment for the day. Then the mind starts to ramble and wonders what will happen. Luckily things aren't in complete turmoil. They will probably promote someone in-house ASAP. Also I got put on a project that I may or may not have the skillset for. Nice huh?
I just hope my new boss will be a bit more proactive in my development and put me on assignments my development path calls for. But I can't really say anything bad about my old boss, he was a cool guy to work for.
1) He hired me.
2) Very laid back managing style.
3) My drunk friend took my phone, dialed him late at night and he was cool about it.
I gave him a call later that afternoon wishing him good luck and we chatted for a lil bit. Maybe it's good that things will be shaken up because I've been extremely lethargic at work the past couple days. It's difficult to motivate myself to study w/o specific milestones in sight. Need to see some pretty girls or something :p
Oh yeah a guy from my old job called me up and wanted me to apply for a job at the new company he is working for. I dunno if I can shake the rust off the programming skills. I prolly will stick it out with the current company until I feel like I've accomplished something.... course I'll ask about the money tho :)
----------------
Ong Bak was cool. So many elbow and knee thrusts. Sideways is 'meeeh' so far.
I finally got a ringtone manager for my phone and already imported my fav ringtone of all time -- the one Tony Soprano has. Toooo goood.
Why does my birthday always fall on Mother's Day???
I have a bunch of Yahoo 360 invites if anyone wants. Basically yahoo's attempt at friendster. Now all they need is to incorporate the Yahoo calendar and it'll be Home-ster (inside joke)
Shameless plug if you are REALLY REALLY bored and REALLY hard up for cash. Don't say I didn't warn you. It's really shameless. But if this makes money for the founders, just goes to show you how simple an idea can be to make money. ¶ 7:40 PM
