Sometimes the harder I focus on something the worst I do. I'm trying to pass the Health & life insurance test, but for some reason the material keeps getting screwed in my mind. Perhaps the pressure that it's my job, is getting in the way. Or perhaps the 6am call from one of my employees on the day of the test was the catalyst. Who cares I simply need to pass this stupid test.

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

Regret by N.O.

New-Order Bizarre Love Triangle
Great song.


Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
Well every day my confusion grows

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say

PromoGuy's Monday Mission 3.45

1. I've found myself using abbreviations and acronyms a lot when I "talk tech" with other geeks like me. I rattle off things like "I took the Jay-Peg into Photoshop and made it into a Jiff for the EightchTeeEmmElle. Then took the Kadd and saved it as a PeeDeeEff with EechsEmElle. So now I'll blog this for you in EmmTee in my PeeDeeAyy so you can use your ArrEssEss reader, hope this isn't too OhhTee. BeeArrBee." Do you ever sling slang from your area of expertise around accidentally and leave folks scratching their heads? Do you feel left out when others start speaking in terms specific to their industry? Gimme some examples!

DDA = Checking account, HECL = Home equity Credit line, etc.......... Bankers talk in code.

2. My hotel room this past weekend was on the 8th floor. I rode the elevator a LOT. There is a lot of unspoken elevator etiquette, you know? Here are some of my observations (this is freestyle here - add to them or just tell me what you think) When to hold the door, when to let it shut. Do you put your hand in to re-open it if you are too late to get in? Do you hit the "open" button if you see someone running to the door? Do you press the numbers for everyone? Where do you look as you are going to your floor when you are in there with someone you don't know?...

Believe it or not, psychology 101 talks about the "elevator" psychosys. Example, we all tend to go to the corners of the elevators in order to be in our safety zone.

3. Some of the meetings at the conference were just plain dull, I almost fell asleep a few times. How do you make it through a boring conversation or meeting when you are feeling drowsy?

I play with my PDA.

4. Do you enjoy flying on commercial airlines? Ever flown First Class?

Yes and Yes.

5. When I book my airfare, I always try to book an aisle seat on the left by the exit doors. That way you have more legroom, and being a "righty" I am able to move my arm and elbow without jabbing someone's belly. When you fly, where do you like to sit?

Same as you buddy, but I've not always had the luck.

6. Have you ever jumped to conclusions and griped someone out, then later learned you didn't have all the facts? Or had it happen to you? What was the real story?

Yes and yes

7. At the conference, I saw several "Tablet PCs" and now I really want one. And Digital MP3 player. I don't ask for much. Do you have any techno-lust going on?

I want to trade my 10 gig Archos MP3 player for a new IPOD with a base or a better mouse trap.

One of the reasons I like my current jobs, is the simple fact that I'm surrounded by a croud my age. No longer am I the young kid, as a matter of fact I'm the "old guy". The other day, we had a deep talk on sci-fi flicks, comic books and the war in Iraq. Add to this fashion tips by the investment guy, and sports by the rest. Compared to my previos work were the only other guy, was interested in "guys".

Ok folks, no more CHI CHi's A Hep-a outbreak has hit 240 people ( 300 is what the experts believe to be the real number). Mom dad, no more Chi Chi's for you, Olive Garden here we come;)

There's something about watching Tommy Hilfiger getting ready for an event, very ironic. The man who dresses urban America, calls his stars & stripes tie "corny".

For the first time in my life, I've purchased porn over the internet. It was an offer I couldn't refuse. The bad part is that if the package get's lost in the mail, I'll have to place a claim with the postal office "excuse me my videos and dildoes seem to be missing".

Now the package claims that this vibrating kit has all the toys for her & HIM!!! Well once I get it I'll make sure to write up a review ;)

In the ever search for personal relief, mastubatory actions are no longer sufficient. I must rely on words of self importance, to justify my many hours of searching the online world of porn. Let's face it I pay a high premium to get my porn fast, I use google to find what my favorite 80's actress is up to, and I visit sites that give me the best orgasmic sensation, by selling some piece of hardware that would cost me three times as much in a brick and mortar.
