Ok so now that my life has come back to a steady hault, I think I can post something.
Training's annual meeting was last week and let me say...IT WAS AWESOME! Of course, since I'm the main planner I always have to gloat on a good meeting...just a little...tiny bit. Just a bit. It really was a great meeting. We went to Busch (dont forget there's a "c" in there!) Gardens one night. We saw a band perform. Got rained on. Drank beer. Tons of fun. Another night we had a beach party at Shephards. That was also tons of fun! On Friday, my boss announced to the whole group that I won Team Member of the Quarter. For those that aren't aware, i've been bitchin to win this award for 3 years now. So of course when she said it, I was shocked. TOTAL shock. But happy. REALLY happy. Mainly because one of the awards is a $1000 "memorable experience". Everyone keeps asking me what my "memorable experience" is going to be. My answer? I'm going to Japan bishes!!! Yes, that's right. I'm taking my happy ass to the motherland. My cousin works for the airlines so she's hooking me up with a $400 buddy pass. Her son also happens to live in Japan. Can you see where this is going? A trip to Japan for only $400 for 2 weeks...fuck yea. I'm still in awe. Like...I can't believe it's happening. I won't believe it's going to happen until i'm IN Japan. And then i'll proceed to shit myself. Can't wait!!!
Tomorrow i'm going to take the $250 worth of gift certs I get and take my parents to Flemings. Flemings is an upscale steakhouse concept of Outbacks. It has the best food there!!! All you have to do is sell your liver to have a meal there. Seriously.
As for the love life, it's still at a steady non-existant pace. That's how I roll.
I just got a Nintendo DS the other day for the FFIV re-make. O M G. SE did a fantastic job with this. The game is so awesome. It's like everything you always wished it could be and so much more. As i'm typing this now I have the need to go home and play before I explode.
On that note, i'm shutting down and heading home. I HAVE to go to the gym though. I'm going to try a new technique to working out. So like since I have ADD when working out I thought...hey if I can sit on my ass all day and play games...maybe I can play games AND workout at the sametime!!! Amirite!? SO i'm going to bring my DS and try to do the stepper or fast walk and see what happens!!!!
Wish me luck!!!
Ja!
