Funny Monday

OK, to be honest, I've been a bit blase about writing all weekend.  I haven't even tried until this morning on the bus and the only thing that came out of my stuffy little fingers was a depressing recap of my Houston trip (except for a lovely dinner with a friend), so I couldn't bring myself to post it.  So, I did the next best thing, I got to work, hookedin into our unfiltered vendor network, and looked for something to make me laugh. 

You have probably all seen this, but I hadn't and it cracked me up. 



As I was searching, and most of my searches started with http://www.si.com/ and then just went from there, I ran across a web-site that used to be the hottest thing around.  They still have pretty women in pretty poses, but I just never go there anymore...

For those still not ready for Christmas, here are some Christmas Card ideas...

I don't talk about it a lot, but I was a pretty good athlete in high school, but as with any sport, it's all about the fans.


 So, what should I say about Houston? 
1 - No she didn't write back.  Not a call, e-mail, text, or poke.  Her sister and I are still friends but I didn't even ask about her.  What's done, is done, and let laying dogs lie, and don't punch a gift horse in teh mouth, and what goes around comes around so make sure you have a tissue to clean-up, or whatever. 

2 - I got to see 90% of the people I wanted to see and said good bye and got promises that they would write a reference for me on LinkedIn.

3 - My boss was out of town so I didn't need to have that awkward, "Well, um, sorry I had to fire you" conversation.

4 - I had a wonderful dinner with a friend of mine.  She knows my situation, I know heres, and it was great to share good food, great conversation, lots of laughter, and a warm hug at the end. 

5 - I flew home with a beautiful blonde in the seat next to me.  Great hair, long legs, a nice smile, and oh, yea, she was 16 years old, so I helped her with her math homework and then ignored  her for 2.5 hours.  :-)  Besides, her dad was about 6'2" and chiseled like a freaking statue, so going to jail in a body cast was a definate possibility....

As I got off the plane and hailed a Taxi to take me to my car at the office, I got a bit misty as I realized anew that those people are gone for the most part.  E-mails will be exchanged and I'll add a few of them to the Christmas card mailing list, but it's not like we are going to ever see each other again.  That part is sad, but inevitable.  So a chapter closes and we move on.

On an upbeat note, it's raining today, traffic was horrible, and I'm in no mood to write up all the work I did in Houston.  But I better get to it.  Have a great Monday!

and, what the heck, in honor of the rain...
