How is everybody today?

I popped my Quizno's cherry last night. Man they make killer sandwiches.

Other than that not a whole hell of a lot to report. I'm so f'ing sick and tired of this cold DRY weather here in NY.

Hope ya all have a great day!

I'm scrambling around trying to get registered for this conference. I thought the purchasing lady in my office registered me (as is usual practice), she thought I registered myself, so here I am in Miami trying to go to a conference that I'm not registered for. I live off my Discover card, but conveniently enough, the conference doesn't take Discover... so I gotta find a way to free up enough money to be able to pay cash for this thing ($600).

A nice way to start the morning indeed.

Morning all. Just sitting here at work waiting for some big-wigs to arrive. They're coming to discuss changing my schedule from a rotating 4 on / 3 off, to a straight Mon.-Fri. / 9-5 with every weekend off. Hope it goes through with the facility I work at, it would be nice to have weekends off all the time! :) Certainly would make my riding/racing a lot easier this summer!

I live in Brooklyn heights, so Prospect is the closest bit of *ahem* "dirt"...

Good morning. Back some time ago, Biggins lost his job at Nextel, because of the Internet. It was because they are pieces of sh*t, but he let them blame the Internet.

Stosh - I was checking out an 05 Xterra at a guy's house, where I bought a 27" TV for $100, and I really want one because of the way the back seats fold down. That, and the fact that it is not a gutless puss and gets better gas mileage. That is relative, of course.

Having someone come over to the house to quote a new heat pump for the house. The existing one is almost 20 years old. A newer model should pay for itself in a few years.

Good morning.

Last night on the commute home I passed a truck pulling a trailer for portable substance testing. The personalized plate on the trailer read "WIZ QUIZ".

I got up and moving early enough to download the song of the day BEFORE going to work (thanks Narlus!) and have it on the iPod to further amuse my co-workers.

Have a good day all.

Morning. Nice day for me so far. I think I am weird because I actually like the schedule I am on right now. Wake up at 5:45am, feed the baby from 6-6:30, check e-mail, eat breakfast and drink coffee until 7am. Then it's housework 'til 9am when it's time to feed the baby again. Then I get to play with her for a while before she naps. I really don't mind getting up early...weird.

Anyway, not too much going on today...I have a haircut at somepoint but other than that, it's the usual.

spin class last night was decent; my foot didn't hurt which was a bonus. still a bit sore to walk on today though.
I did a hard session on the rollers last night and my legs were dead tired afterward & my left knee hurt...it was a good workout though and i feel good today.

Out of my mind, back in a moment.
Morning.

I blew a quiz today, found out I did poorly on last weeks exam (which I was more than adequately prepared for, somehow just fvcked it up), fell asleep in my second class, and had to chase one of my kittens around in the snow because he's obsessed with trying to get the chipmunk that lives under the deck next door.

Is it wrong to go back to bed at 12:15?

Happy Hump Day to you Stosh. Got my X9 stuff from you. Looks great. Haven't installed them yet.

We're getting a Quizno's where I live this spring/early summer. I'm jazzed.

It's wet, crappy and cold here too.

well i am lucky in that our company has started spin classes as of a few months ago. before that, i would go to Cedardale in Haverhill MA, but that was kind of a pain in the butt to get there in time occasionally. being on-site is a huge plus for me, and the gear is top-notch.

Haverhill is such a pretty little town too.... ;)
