Again, the Job gets Stressful

I found out the other day that I have to do a presentation. Presentations are no big deal. I do them all the time. I teach classes on how to use the software on a regular basis. This presentation, however, is a little different. I have to present to all the executives in the Authority. I'm talking about standing in front of the CEO, CFO, CIO, a whole pile of VP's, directors, managers, etc, and do my best to sound the least bit intelligent. I don't know why I'm nervous about it, it's not like they can fire me. And whether or not I do a good job won't really affect anything about my work. I just don't want to sound like an idiot. You know, gotta make our department look good. Okay, all those people might not be there, but this is a bigger deal than I'm used to.

What's That From?

I have to salute a movie that has given us some great quotes. I have to admit I enjoyed this movie but unfortunately its missing huge explosions and naked women. Oh well, good movies don't have to have it all.

"Show me the money!"
"You had me at hello."
"Help me help you."
"You complete me."

If you say any of these quotes, everyone - and I mean everyone will know what you're talking about.

Superstar

Looks like old KFed's concert was a smashing success. After begging to stop it from being cancelled he was able to fill 300 seats out of the 1500 available. I almost feel bad for the guy. At first, he was the lucky chump that nailed Britney Spears. Then he became the deadbeat dad and husband. Then he became the loser that had his car taken away by his wife. Then he turned into a rap "artist". Now he's this sad little pathetic dude that probably cried after his concert. I really feel bad for him. Sort of.

Let it Snow!!

It snowed on Cypress Mountain the other day. 32 cm!! That's one foot for all you people that still live in the stone age. They expect to open at the end of the month. I'd like to see another 100 cm before I go, but I'm just itching to go. I bought new gloves a couple weeks ago. My old ones were starting to wear at the fingertips and I noticed my fingers were getting cold and wet. All I need now is a new helmet and pair of goggles (Christmas gifts hopefully!).

Movie Review

Strange Than Fiction with Will Ferrell and Dustin Hoffman

I thought it was brilliant.

Shut Up!!!

Britney finally filed for divorce from KFed. Looks like Whitney finally talked to her and told she should lose the loser and become the sexy little tramp schoolgirl again. I doubt Whitney told her to be a sexy little tramp schoolgirl but you get the idea. Actually, I doubt Whitney talked to her at all but Britney rhymes with Whitney so maybe they were just on the same wavelength. I read somewhere that Britney wasn't going to ask for alimony from Special K. That's too bad for her because I think I see his new CD skyrocketing any day now.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

I'm not perfect. Actually, I'm far from it. I'm kinda lazy, not really very smart, a little irresponsible, I don't make a lot of money, and I'm not famous, and I don't see myself suddenly becoming famous in the future. I live a pretty average life. This has been me for the past 32 years. Why do people expect anything different? Why is it okay for some people to do things differently and make their own decisions in life but not okay for me? When will I be allowed to do what I want? Everyone else seems to be allowed to bitch and scream about this, but when I do it, I'm being immature. And why do I still let people make me feel like I'm 17 years old again?
