Quote of the Week - New Year 2007 Update
Yes, yes, so it's been a while, but I'll try and make it worth the wait. First of all, it's the first update of the new year. Not only that, we are also marking...
100 Weeks of Quote of the Week
Cool eh?
Alrighty, so I know almost 2 years of quotes would make way too long of a post. Plus, if you've read the older ones already, you might not want to bother scrolling through them. So, you don't have to. If you want to see the previous quotes, go here:
http://deeface.livejournal.com/21109.html
Otherwise, let's move on.
K, so besides the quotes, here are some of the events that happened between my last update (see above) and this one:
- I had several near-altercations with my nemesis at work
- I had my first serious back problem, which ended up changing (mostly for the better) my movements, posture and physical abilities in general
- I took my first trip out of the country since moving here - to Dubai. It was awesome, memorable and quite momentous. For more check out the "Yalla! Yalla!" series of posts, starting here - http://deeface.livejournal.com/21774.html
- I got much closer to my best friend
- At Spectrum's (the ad agency where I work) Annual Meeting awards, I went home with 3 Ad of the Year awards along with a special award for Creativity in Cyberspace...I would like to thank everyone who didn't win, hehe
- I continued to refuse and discourage false advertising practices
- I trained interns, lots of them, some of whom saw me as a mentor (I would have been a teacher, but that's another story)
- I got closer to my mother
- I got my own office! More details here - http://deeface.livejournal.com/25700.html
- I realized how much I love the ocean
- I got my own personal staff (More on this later in my next post entitled "Many a Minion"
- I did nothing on New Year's...on purpose!
- I started a clean slate with my nemesis at work
K, so, without further adue, the continuation of Quote of the Week.
Enjoy.
