This is Why I Don't Do Black Friday Shopping

When you kill the person opening the door to the store, you have a problem.

Turkey Time

Yeah, I haven't blogged in a while. This week, I have been back home, rather than on the road in some exotic locale. I have done a fair amount of sleeping, going to the gym, playing games, and just relaxing. The last three days I have spent a good chunk of the day at my day at my parents' place ~20 miles away from my house, in Arnold, MO. There has been a lot of food, trips to the Arch, talking with family, and board games. I even won one of the games, thanks to my older brother being nice to me for no apparent reason. Thanks, Christopher! All in all, a good time. And now it's time to hunker down and survive the materialistic insanity that is the Holiday Season.

Quote of the Day

"This is driving in its most natural form. You feel every bump, squeak and jolt, and one can enjoy the sweet smell of gasoline and exhaust fumes. No car can replace it."

Momcilo Spajic, proud Serbian Yugo owner.

Anniversary

Yesterday was my fifth anniversary with PricewaterhouseCoopers. Since I am working in Reno again this week, you can rest assured that my colleague, Ali, and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the fanciest steak house we could find.

December is the Month for Fun in the Sun

Ladies and gentlemen, it is official; I am going to be working in Puerto Rico from Thanksgiving to Christmas, and maybe into January, if the work takes that long. And the client has requested that I stay in Puerto Rico for at least one weekend, rather than flying home every weekend. My life is so hard sometimes. Because, you know, I was going to do that, anyway. Wouldn't you?

This qualifies as one of those times when I really like my job.
