Bommerang

And like that, its back. In record time too. I sent it in last Tuesday and got it back exactly a week later. This time it wasn't another refurb. I guess they were able to fix this one and then sent it back. Well, I am just happy I didn't have a three or four week wait.

Pics from an Interesting Weekend
Sunday, 30 November 2008

Well, it rained all day Saturday, so Sunday I got bit by the shopping bug...

Cheap Gas

This was probably the brightest spot! Gas for $1.57 a gallon. I have not seen prices like this since I first moved to North Carolina. Yeah, I got nearly 10 gallons for $15 bucks! It's almost ok to own an SUV again!

Nearly Full

Nearly full...

Now for the shopping bug part. I want to start wearing makeup. You know, try and look my best for networking events...

Makeup Crazy

I was introduced to the IMAN when I started college. Back then only JC Penny carried it. Now you can find it at Walmart and Target and at MUCH better prices. Too bad I cannot remember which foundation I am, so its trial and error. I hate to purchase something I really can't use.

In no particular order...

- The Xbox 360 extended warranty I bought

- The skills you learn during your career go with you, not the job

- My Family

- Having options

- My dog

- Opprotunities to regain focus

- Old Friends

-  A car that's paid off

- A home of my own

- Having a sense of peace

Considering a 360? Get the Warranty. Period.

2008 Ship

Well, I thought the claims of people being on their 5th and 6th 360 were exaggerated. Saturday night, my latest refurb died and so I opened my 5th service request (counting my original Xbox being serviced and returned, that's four times I have had a 360 out for service). This one failed almost one year after the last one. Soon I will be receiving a 4th refurb. Now, I get to spend all that extra time over the Thanksgiving not playing Horde Mode in Gears or watching holiday movies. Nope, I guess I'll be spending that time studying.

Shame on you and your 360 engineers Micro$oft.

Have A Nice Day???
Wednesday, 29 October 2008

Today I recieved my first speeding ticket (and first traffic ticket at that) evar!!! As to whether or not I earned it, that is another quesiton. Basically they set themselves up to ticket people who happen to be driving down a steep hill - where gravity does not work with you. I am still deciding if I will fight the ticket or not.

As for the officer for ending the encoutner with "Have A Nice Day". I am like "huh?" That is like the ultimate INSULT. You have issued a speeding ticket, something that will be eating away at me for the rest of the day *AND* has the potential to affect my insurance rates! It might be better to diffuse the situation with "Please drive safely" after such a tense encounter.
