I have an interesting decision to make. I currently work (practically live) in an "inside" office. I have a window into the hallway, through which I can look through 2 more panes of glass and some opened blinds to see the outside world. I have, since the day started, wanted a window office, but it's a seniority thing and one must wait one's turn.

However, I won a giving campaign raffle for which the prize was a window office. Very cool. So what's the problem, you might ask?

The problem is multifold:
- It's noticeably smaller than my current office
- My current/old office is right across the hall from a good friend and I kind of like that
- New office is right near the senior VP. could be a good thing. could be totally irellevant.

Hmmmm...

I just saw a picture of a rat that was violently killed in P's apartment. The following link is not for the faint of heart: http://www2.bc.edu/~mulcahkg/images/minnie.jpg

Got Halo 2 a few days ago. Actually went to the company store the day it went on the market. The line was literally out the door. They had even hired special staff to handle the demand. Anyway, having played Halo 1 only a few times, I got home and popped in the DVD w/ S (got this initial thing from P. K was already taken, so she's getting P. she's welcome to appeal that decision w/ a new recommendation).

Anyway, the game is pretty cool. Played a level and a half w/ S until she wanted to go to sleep and then MC took over on her controller. I'm not really a huge video game guy, but I gotta say it was a lot of fun.

Stayed up till 3 last night working on reports for work. Kind of tired today, but it's Friday and tomorrow is the weekend.

I read Death by Meeting by Patrick Lencioni on the plane over the weekend. Interesting, very quick read with a few strong ideas for anyone that runs meetings...

I joined Costco yesterday. I've been living within 5 minutes of a Costco store for 3 years now and never even knew it was there. Anyway, the first time you go you don't save any money because you have to buy a membership card (45$), but my hope is that it's a good investment.

Crazy store. Makes you want to buy more than you really need.

This guy is a little gargoyle on "the Peak" in Hong Kong. Got back 2 weeks ago, but came across this pic and liked it.

Looking straight out from my hotel. The blur in the picture is condensation on the window of my room. It's pretty humid here...

I passed a critical threshold today. For the first time ever, the entire history of my blog doesn't fit on one web page. You actually have to use the "Archives" to find old posts, or at least, the really old posts. Anyway, go me.

This article made me happy. I have never had a satisfactory interaction w/ AT&T Wireless customer support.
