[reality] gone are the highs of getting my new laptop and even getting my picture taken for an office badge! it's now up to me to maintain my own excitement about being a peon to my many (helpful and very cool) managers. no more "serviced" happy hours, no more free snacks at break time and by gosh, no more low expectations of us. post training - we are now apparently.. professionals!

[reappearance] so this is why i haven't blogged in so long =P i know it's definitely been a cheap, and by no means preferable, way of getting up to date with people, but it's nice to hear about andy's adventures in north carolina, and sohee's new computer! =) heehee.. (bet you guys don't know i'm spying on you huh ;)) in any case -- i've been stuck in downtown oakland, lacking connectivity and updates on giant playoff games! gaH!! work has really begun now (i know i keep saying that), and i'm getting into the work lifestyle. though.. ha ha! i've still managed to work out after work.. at least 3 times during the week, and of course i continue the regime over the weekends.. =) sigh.

anyways, me stoppage the whining-age now. hope you all are well!

[strange ending thought] why is it when someone tells us they have a kid and their age -- we can't help but ooh and ahh? i mean, for all we know, the kid could get poopy ugly! (though i do admit that most kids are adorable in my eyes) :D

[well] ta ta for now =) will di blog again?! *sob*
