Hello?

Last Thursday I got a call on my cell phone from our Vice President at around 7pm. It went something like this:

Me: Hello?

Chrysa: Hi Andi, this is Chrysa.

Me: Oh hi! How are you?

Chrysa: Good.


Long Pause



Chrysa: Why did I call you?

Me: I have no idea.

Chrysa: Me neither.

Me: Hmmm.

Chrysa: Well have a great night! Sorry about that.

Today I got an e-mail from her with the title "I swear I am not crazy". She said she would explain on Monday.

I can't wait.

A conversation between me and my boss today:

Charles: So we had the meeting about the new performance reviews next month.

Me: Yeah?

Charles: Boy are you screwed! Since you cross technical and business support all your scores will end up being really low.

Me: That's cool. I was already looking for new jobs.

Charles: Good.

I've posted, now please stop stalking me....

This, my friends, is the best soft drink in the world.

In other news I am incredibly busy. Too busy to write for you. Please take a number and wait your turn.

P.S. Watch the TV commercials for CocaCola India. I am addicted now. But still too busy.

Just one more car post.... I promise

I am brilliant

I got my new car yesterday. I love it!

Today I tried to break my old car. See, I don't have snow tires for the Miata yet. And if you drive it in the snow without snow tires you might as well just drive it into a poll.

Last night it snowed so this morning I drove my old 626. Except that I couldn't get in my car because the door had frozen shut. This happens when rain turns to sleet which turns to snow and freezes my car in a block of ice. In a moment of sheer genius I decide I could get the door open if I pulled on the handle and pried on it with my key.

For a second I thought I had won and then I realized that I had just bent my key into a 90 degree angle.

It broke when I bent it back.

So I had to call my mom, ask her to de-ice her car and come bring me the only spare key we have to this car. And I missed a meeting at work. That I was leading.

It was a great morning.

New Car

I bought a car today! Well sort-of. All that paper work junk still needs to be done. But it's being held for me!

It's a 2002 Mazda Miata.

Here's a picture of it -

I know I was looking for a Jetta, but this was a really good deal. And it's a fun car.

I think I'll get to pick it up tomorrow. I am very excited!

Skiing

Yesterday I went skiing and boy am I sore today. Although my worst injury is a huge bruise on my knee. The trip was a lot of fun even if we didn't have real snow. I got to meet a lot of new people - it was great. I would be ok if my church did more events like that in the future. (hint hint) Here are some of the highlights of the trip.

There was one guy, Dan, who went. He was a little crazy. He eventually split off from our group because we weren't doing any jumps. (The group I was in was definitely more interested in meeting people than skiing, so it was nice and relaxing.) The next time we saw Dan he was walking into the lodge with cuts all over his face. He had landed a jump face first and busted up his goggles and face. He thought it was wicked awesome. I thought he was crazy and stuck to the intermediate slopes.

I hung out with two girls named Andrea and Shelley. Dan talked Shelley into going down the double black diamond where she flipped a couple times and broke her boot. She was fine.

We convinced Abs to do just one more run with us. The slope wasn't too hard, but at this point the snow had started to refreeze and it had turned into a sheet of ice. I was scared going down. It took Abs half an hour to fall down and eventually take off his skies and walk down. I felt really bad for talking him into going.

All in all it was a great time. I didn't kill anyone and I met new people. I think the trip was a success.
