more random news at your service...

the lowdown? had a GREAT weekend...haha well the first half at least. I went snowboarding with Motorolans up in Horseshoe. Runs were good (I'm a beginner so small inclines make me happy!) and the snow was really fluffy (whoo! fresh snow!). The bad news is that I am a beginner meaning I don't know much and tend to fall on my ass quite a bit. Everything was soaked and I apparently even broke off the zipper of my Columbia jacket from a fall early in the morning. Narrr... Oh well! Still had a great time nonetheless with special thanks to Zippity for teaching me the ways of the trade and for not ditching me on the baby green hills for his blue square/black diamond runs :D

The second half of the weekend was of course spent in pain from the abused muscles of the snowboarding escapade. A little bit of work and a hell of a lot of sleep finished off the weekend....*sigh* :)

News for today? Went to Mongolian Grill (@ Market Village) for foodage with HR. Quite a few ppl from the lab are getting moved over to 3600 because we're low on space; hence, since HR aren't really developers, we're moving them out along with a bunch of other students and full-timers :( Narr.... I like those guys! So, we all had a nice 2 hour lunch to chat it up. Course, I was laughed at by Todd for using a fork while he was using chopsticks. *sigh* Since I couldn't be upstaged, I switched over to chopsticks and that that. *nods* (haha I should probably explain. See, Todd's Jamaican so I couldn't let him be more asian than me! Even if his gf is chinese! Gaugh!) Food == good and I especially liked dessert even though it was really just a taro slushy :)

Upcoming events? Might go and see the Butterfly Effect sometime since it looks good but, we'll see. Work still looks like a looming threat :(

On the whole, things aren't too too bad although it just so happened that BOTH my manager and HR sent me the comic below. Hrmm...I wonder if I should take the hint.
