Cat is out of the bag now

Blogger tricked me into upgrading to the new version of blogger and with that it merged my two accounts into one.

It's been awhile

Don't know where to begin, I guess my birthday was nothing to speak of. My big brother took me to Nakama in Historic Southside for dinner. It is a Japenese Steakhouse, good food - never ate there before even through I lived in the Historic Southside for about a year now. I just like saying historic, cause really what it means is old. After that we went to his favorite hangout then called it a night, the next evening I ended up going to Casey's drafthouse for cheap beer special. yes tis was a cheap evening of drinking with the old FedEx coworkers. Two out of the three old crew members showed up but that was cool. Poor Jason got asked to leave as he was a bit sloshed by 1am, i ended up allowing the drunken ex-coworkers to crash on my couch.

Work is good, I have been given private client accounts... promotion?! Still debating that it is a headache working those accounts as they have lots of zeros that I can mess up on. Over all it is fun, yes fun. I have a three day weekend cause Monday is President's day... yeah! However I got a something very tough waiting for me on tuesday, I did a loan were it was for a construction company, (no specifics cause I am bound by confidentially agreement) were they were consolidating to of the loans into one. They wanted to keep one line of credit open open but leave to loans opened underneath that main line. Unfortunately because I could not just de-link one and add it to a existing line, I had to RESET (the ugly word for a banker) the one loan and set up a new loan to the existing line and also to the other exisiting loan. I had to play with that for three days to get it to work correctly... it also billed a invoice in error. Oh yeah not s simple 20 dollar invoice either- nope! It billed 52,000,000 dollars... the officer that handles that customer was cool about it. He said he would follow up with the customer and tell them it was a early April fool's day joke. I am coming up on my official anniversary at the new job and also another day with some significant memories for me. More about that another day for now things are going well except for my private life. Since the disagreement over a coach purse I have had little luck with the opposite sex. For the first week I questioned myself about being to cheap, maybe I should of purchased one? Then I was thinking that no it was only date three, and those type of purchases are best left for a more meaningful relationship. If you know what I mean? I do not mean to sound cheap but like I mentioned befor if we were dating for a lot longer then we have and perhaps were more serious I would not have throught twice about it. Was I wrong? Someone validate my decision...

Here are some of my random thoughts from Sunday and last night's 24:

Can Kiefer Sutherland lose any more weight? As I watched 24 last night I thought to myself: That is the tiniest man I have ever seen. He better come packing heat, because I bet he punches like a featherweight. I bet his pants are like size twenty-eights. Do you know anyone who's older than twelve that is smaller than Jack Bauer? Is that person a male?

I heard that Nichole Richie will be playing Jack's love interest next year to make him look masculine.

Was 24 a bit of filler last night? What is this, the Bauer family reunion? So far, I don't think I am liking the way this season is going.

Why do the Cavaliers always disappoint and lose a game they should win by playing lethargic?

I missed on the Bears pick on Sunday, but I picked the Colts before the playoffs, and I am happy I have stuck with them.

What a year for Peyton Manning. He helped me win over seven hundred bucks in fantasy football, and now he leads his team to the Superbowl. Thanks again Peyton.

What a bush league move by Reggie Bush when he scored his long TD while taunting the Bears. I thought the guy had more class than that. He should review some tape of Emmitt Smith's career touchdowns.

The Browns hired a new offensive coordinator, Rob Chudzinski (or is it Chubzinski?). Who cares?! Burrrrrrrrrrrp!

The Steelers finally decided and they hired a head coach! Let's hope it's a winning season or well the new head coach will not be very popular.

I found this great picture from the Golden Globes which were last week. I think it's worth a thousand words.

Friday thoughts

This morning after the snowstorm, yeah a whole inch I was walking to work while city crews were cleaning up the streets.

I was impressed by how many city vehicles they actually had out on the streets.

But I noticed that many of the city trucks were driving around with their snow blades up and their salt spreader things closed.

This made me wonder — would the snow removal have gone quicker with the snow blades down and with them spreading salt for the morning commute? Well for those that have to drive that is.

That Pennsylvanian groundhog saw his shadow today, you know what that means? A early spring... I can start biking into work again!

Ummmmmm...

Guess whose birthday is on Feb 4th? Go on guess... I got those birthday blues coming on. I guess that is the reason I am listening to Help by the Beatles on my mp3 player over and over... I need a beer. Peace out!



--------------------
Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,

Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.
