Dear Blog

Dear Blog, I have not forgotten you... I just don't have much to post.

So there.

Uh... I'm sure something exciting has happened lately. But maybe not.

I created a new facebook account for my Accenture email address, because it's just easier to manage that way. And I like getting my "news feed" just about my coworkers without all that other stuff mixed in about people I haven't talked to in 5 years. Yeah.

Woot!

I won a $25 gift certificate to Borders. This is exciting.

Lunch today was hysterical. We talked about eating only as much food as your fist is big (do you get to pick who's fist you measure off of) which lead into some talking of stealing kidneys (or pancreas...).

And then one of the guys was discussing the ideal of selling $100 raffle tickets to win a house, which no one was taking up. But you lower the price to $10, and suddenly Erin wants to buy 10 tickets. 5 minutes of laughter ensued.

Hooray to being in Chicago till the end of the year at least.

Sicko

I just watched the Michael Moore movie, Sicko. It was really good. Maybe because Healthcare is one of my "pet" issues, I don't know. Usually I don't like Moore's movies due to the way he approaches making his points, even if he is making a point I agree with. But Sicko was really good - it's less abrasive, I think.

Boo to digital cable, and its pixelation. Seriously, switching to a new standard that is this faulty is not ok with me. Or maybe its just Comcast, but I would like to watch 30 minutes of television without it freaking out.

I need to learn more about local politics. Seriously, I suck at being informed.

I've been brainwashed and it feels alright

So, two weeks is a long time to be at school/training, when they put you away in a dorm room in St Charles Illinois. Class starts at 8, except the one day you start at 9, includes a Saturday class, and usually goes until 6. Plus networking events in the evenings and if there's not a scheduled networking event there's an unofficial one. Liver training, social training, and methodology training, all in one. Its insanely intense, because you are with a lot of people who are simultaneously extremely similar and extremely different to you... only 34% of the students are from the US, but everyone is really intelligent and tends to approach things in a structured sort of way.

It's weird now, not to have people asking me if I'm going to the Q Pub every 5 minutes. It's weird having a sense of time, and not having food prepared on hand all the time. I got some really good feedback and connections for my potential PTO trip. I'm sure I have some more Youtube videos to post, but I'll try to think of them later. I'll leave you with this one, though, which became the "theme song" of CAS...

So here's to... whatever's next.
