I'm listening to "Adouma" from this Santana CD and this guy seems to be scatting something about the KKK. I thought Carlos was against that shit. I'm not sure how I feel about this CD.
In any event, today was vastly different than yesterday...The thing I was working on yesterday turned into an emergant issue today. How did it get past development, product managers and testing? The damn program is in beta. I ran my fix on 4 different people's computers and spent the whole day teaching functionality rationales and useability to my department. When I wasn't helping techs with obsolete versions and configuring various software apps to all work in conjunction. I thought I was only a peon in sales. But today I didn't want to quit.
At one point my boss sent an email around to the whole company asking where the sales associate training manual disappeared to. He was going on about how someone has taken it from his office without telling him. Which prompted me to say, not so tactfully...
"You insisted to give it to Ona (new marketing person) when you called me up when you were doped up on perocets for your back."
And with that I rendered by boss speechless.
Oh...and apparently one of the managers jobs consists only of listening to calls and pinning peices of paper on walls.
I be practicing the nuances of demos too...We have to perform for the VP next week.
I also sold our program to a woman who confused us with something else she saw on another site. And she paid for it with her ex husbands credit card.
I saw a guy at Pizza Hut today with a goatee double the length of mine. Something to aspire to.
I also found out my grandmother in West Virginia apparently has a taste for whiskey. It sometimes helps her sleep. Hmmm...I guess that makes 3 generations.
I found out about this tour coming in the Fall with Mortiis and Danzig and a bunch of other bands. Anyone in?
And lastly...yes. I will be in DC the Sunday of Summer Slam. But I'll probably go from Logan right to Good Times.
And soon I'll go to bed...
