QotD: Restless Nights

What keeps you up at night?

this month, work stress has been keeping me up at night. ive been working with a particular business unit in my company to get some content ready for their section of the site. i set deadlines, resources and a time line. they aimed at the 24th. not sure why, but thats what they wanted. anyway, they missed all their deadlines, they dont deliver the content i need to post and im basically holding their hands through their own project. its a real pain in the ass.

i gave them a deadline of this morning or else the 24th wont be reached. after they hand over the content, they call me up saying they want more changes to be done. the content is on rev9 now. how many times do you really need to write up a few pages of text? soooo disorganized. theres about nine writers in this project. the point of contact has changed around through 10 different people now. its stressing me out because i know my team will get yelled at if this doesnt work out. i dont understand how its our bad when these kids arent doing their hw, but thats how the breaks are out here. annoying as shit.

hang in there jack

gotta say... best marketing pull ive seen in awhile. the set up was great, the execution is pretty good so far. great job jack in the box! ingenious way to do some pull and penetration. *applaud*

QotD: Disney Musicals: My Favorite Song

What's your favorite song from a Disney movie?

damn... im sure i have quite a few, but the first song that came to mind was "one jump" from Aladdin.

want some sleep.

so, last night i slept over my girl's house. its a little far from my place, and the commute from her city sucks when driving into the valley. i planned to get up at 6.30/7 and leave the house by 7.30 to avoid the freeway turning into a parking lot at 8/9am.

it was a late evening. i dashed home to grab my things and drove to her place. didnt get there till 8 and my mom kept me on the phone in the car for another 20 minutes as she whined and yelled in my ear. after shaking her off, i walk to my girls place and we leave for dinner. dinner was over around 9.30. hella late.

ive been begging her to cut my hair - i even bought clippers and guards just for this. i had a couple barbers that i like, but theyre on the other side of the valley and i just dont have the time, nor do i want to drop the cash to go out there for a fade. both barbers are great. one is really cheap. but for both, i gotta wait in line for an hour or two because it seems every young guy in this area gets their fades from these two shops.

so, it was her first time cutting hair. it was a long laborious ordeal. her confidence in sliding the clippers up and away from my scalp wasn't too great. for her to take a guard and clear my head to one length took way longer than necessary. the actual fade, tho done well, took almost 2.5 hours. my ass killing me from sitting on the stool for so long. fade came out ok. not bad for a first timer. but jesus, three hour haircut? i might as well went to one of my regular barbers.

anyway, my night ended at 2am and my day started at 7 am today. this isnt normal for me. i usually sleep at midnight and wake up at 8:30 for work everyday. im so tired folks. i was hella zoning out during my meetings today nodding yes to whoever questioned me or asked for reassurance on planning.

im kinda dreading my energy level for tonite. ill be at the sharktank tonight. ill need to muster just to be part of the crowd. no, i dont drink coffee or any caffeine anymore, so thats out of the question. gonna be an interesting night.

i cant wait to go to bed.

Still losin weight... wtf?

So holiday season rite? I know I be eatin hella bad shit during this time of the year. Brownies, cookies, baked goods, thick, creamy soups, anything in the category of comfort food.

Today, I wanted to hit myself with reality and weight myself. I hopped on the WiiFit and peeped game. Keep in mind, I haven't touched the thing for 2 months. The results were surprising... at least for me...

I lost 2.5 pounds during the holiday season. Wierd, I could have sworn I gained about ten with all the junk I've been eating. I guess the breaking the meals in half thing has kept me pretty consistent. Not bad eh? May be a small loss, but its better than a significant gain.

Resolution

so, i havent made any for this year. i usually make one about losing weight and shit, but i figured thats just something ive been working on forever. just gotta get in the better habit again.

this holiday season was bad. there were so many cookies, cakes, brownies, snacks, hot chocolate and candy to be had. i can never resist a good brownie. that is my weakness.

resolutions tho. i should start getting back onto my career shit. ive been slacking around and just goofing off afterwork. i did have a few interviews just to see what was out there, but i declined the offers and the others fell through the cracks. thanks to the interviews tho, i do know what i need to work on.

past few weeks, ive been thinking about really getting my website project on deck. ive been trying to think of a cool domain name to snag, but nothing seems to stick. the names are either to techy, sound to ricey, or are already taken. but i would like to get something down and start playing with the site, building it when certain things and seeing how well i do with further production. ive relied on CMS' so much, i'm starting to forget how to handcode.

so, that could be it. resolution to get this site ive been meaning to do pushed out. theres alot of experiments i'd like to do with it and hopefully i can get this going. im afraid that a certain video game may take over my life once again, but we'll see.
