Heil Splash Mountain!

That's better than throwin up NWO Wolfpac on Adventure Express with a German foreign exchange student the day after graduation right there.

Anyway, upon my triumphant return to the office these past 11 months i have realized many things. Among them... It's always bright and 72 degrees in my office, you can post stuff on blogs if you are at your computer all day and I need a (hot) secretary among other things. But this week I have come to realize a big thing. It's easy to get fat working in an office. The past 3 years I've forgotten how much free crap (candy) people who want your business give out around the holidays. It's ridiculous really, today alone we have gotten 3 boxes of chocolate covered pretzels (like big 4 inch wide pretzels), 2 cans of butter cookies (the good ones) and the 4 foot tall Ghiradelli (sp?) Chocolate tower (in a related story Chocolate Tower was also my nickname in college). I had the misfortune of looking at the nutritional (there are none) facts of the stuff in said tower, and I swear I gained 2 pounds reading it. Needless to say after I read it I got out a chocolate covered graham cracked and stuffed it down my pie hole (which reminds me I forgot about the Baccolavah (sp?) that someone dropped off this morning). I used to think how do people gain 10 pounds during the holidays? This was when I spent the majority of my day driving a pickup truck around Kentucky not eating a thing. Now I realize it's not just 2 days of eating, It's an entire month of gorging yourself!

I say recession schmeschmessin I saw the bill for $2,200 worth of fruit baskets my company purchased this week. That was for only 27 baskets! Then we buy a crapload of Pepperidge Farm stuff for our "second-tier" clients aka if we've bid something and we didn't get it. It's fun to me though to examine each gift and try to figure out how much it costs. I say the tower is no less than 75 bucks! But it's funny to see that the people who are sending the best stuff are the people who are DESPERATE for our work. I don't think I've seen anything from the schmucks on any of my jobs. I'll bring that up in our next meeting, they need to show me the goods to get the next job. Now if you'll excuse me something called "Ghiradelli Chocolate Drops" are callin my name!
