That is interesting to know. But once again, which KISS song did you hear?

Same here, pretty much right after college.

I'd like to think after 1.5 years on the job, countless lunch orders for my managers, printing, stapling, setting up meetings, staying late till my superiors leave, and whatever hell there is, I've done my fair share to NOT deserve this expectation to stay till Friday after work. Not saying I've paid all my dues yet, but damn, this is uncalled for.

In the end, though, it all works out because I can stay at home with my parents over the week and weekend (client site is closer to my parents' place than our HQ) and all my best buddies are in Boston and NYC, so I'm going to be hitting up NYC again this weekend (free happy hour at a bar that my friend's GF won, apparently, so kinda excited to check that out). Plus, the company pays me when I don't stay at hotels, which is a very nice benefit. I'll be saving soooo much money by doing this. Maybe this will mitigate my massive stock losses with Apple

In fact, I wouldn't mind just living with my parents for a month or so and not having to fly back. The only issue with that is the VP at my Dallas office would flip a shit about why I'm never coming back; he'd probably talk to my project manager and I want to avoid that at all costs, so I'll be flying back every other week.

The entire month of December was nice, not having to travel and all. It was really refreshing to feel like you've settled down in one place. Last week marks my 1 year anniversary of flying every week for work and I'm surprisingly not burnt out to the core, but I am starting to tire of it. Fancy hotels, steak dinners, miles, all that shit don't matter. I just want to stay in one place and sleep in my own bed.

Anyway, I'm setting in motion the wheels to move on to a different job. We'll see what prospects await me in the Big Apple .

Some of my friends who were kind of passive about music back then are now nuts about a lot of new stuff. I, on the other hand, heard exactly one new album last year that I really loved, and maybe two or three others that I liked.

Funny - this is how I felt a few years back, and then I jumped in with a few recs from some SF members and a whole new world opened up. Granted, some of it was hit-or-miss, some has fallen off over time, and others have kept up. Not all the music is new - as in released this year - but it's new to me and more recent than my usual mix.

for me its gotten to the point where I'm actively seeing out girl bands who have nice hooks in their music. so what if the yeah yeah yeahs are just a happy girl led Cure? at least the voices are different.

thats something i noticed about the southern east coast state's drivers:

- they like to back into their parking spots. the parking lots were full of cars parked facing out. even when packed/tight.
- they don't like to use turn signals when switching lanes (especially on highways).
- the left "fast lane" is especially cramped with cars tailgating each other. i noticed this in georgia/n. carolina/south carolina.

Damn, that's heavy. Would it be in bad taste if I made a cardiac-related pun or would that be too heartless?

In all seriousness, I hope she pulls through.
