so sore
from playing APSA alumni/undergrad sports day. we pretty much had a reunion of sorts today @ muir field @ ucsd. our goal...to defeat the undergrads at a few games of sports. first off, we played basketball and handily defeated the youngins in a nice game of 21. this day also marked my first time back on the courts since high school days when i constantly got injured. i didnt make much of an impact, however i did have 2 steals...but i also had 2 giveaways...but i suppose that's pretty good considering i havent played since i was 15 (other than a few shootaround games, nothing too serious...do the math 23(my age now)-15(the age when i last played ball)=8...so i did pretty well considering. the point is...undergrads won. we played dodgeball as well...basically the oldies lost bad...but we were greatly outnumbered, so we had a few of the older undergrads join us to make it a lil more even...but i think they sabotaged our game so the youngins could win...but that's just me. another game of bball was brewin while we were playing dodgeball, and from what i hear the grads won that game as well. finally we got together to play a rousing game of soccer. i didnt play too much, but i hear the grads slaughtered the undergrads so much that the game became a mixed game. i joined to play the final 20 or so minutes as a goalie. all in all...good times were had as i caught up with so many familiar faces from my times in APSA. but as i said at the beginning of this...i'm sore! must get more active on a regular basis to be less sore.

last night was also APSA talent show. like i said in the last blog...it was weird being a spectator...but i held back my nostalgia and took in the show (i didn't even help put away the chairs after the show was over =p) the show was pretty well done...although it would have been better if tech had been on their game...there were so many technical difficulties, the show lagged on longer than planned.

sometimes i miss college life...but then i remember...no extra work for me when i get home! but i do plan on going back to school....after at least another year off to work...fall of 2006 is the plan.

i stink from today...must shower...maybe the heat will make me less sore...maybe. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =p

Back to the Future: Part X
aka. APSA Talent Show is tonight. this will be my first talent show since i graduated, and the first one ever that i'll be watching as a spectator. usually i've been behind the scenes on the show and have never really watched it from the seats before. let's see how APSA: the next generation does this. oh yeah and alumni/undergrad sports day is tomorrow...i'm gonna go to that too. yeah! stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)

gripe about work
so at work today, my supervisor emails me that i wasn't productive enough on friday, and that my results show that my customer time on the phone was less than my personal & after customer work time combined. excuse me for helping other co-workers out with their issues which took me away from the phone and added to my after customer work time...if there were other supervisors around to assist then my actual productivity would have been increased...but since the more senior people decided play hookey because it was the day before a 3 day weekend and there were no supers were available, i had to assist my coworkers! i should be praised for being of assistance instead of being scolded for not being productive enough. it's not like i spent my time surfing the internet or staring off into the distance and picking my nose. i too could have called in sick or something like that...but i actually showed up for work. >end gripe<


stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages >=O

it's raining...
it's pouring, and i gots me no work tomorrow...time to sleep in and not do anything tomorrow. maybe i'll do my laundry...maybe...hmm...maybe not! =p maybe i'll concoct something in the kitchen like i did tonight. i made me some Jack Daniel's steak...TGI Fridays ain't got nothin on what i made. i bought the sauce, but found that it contained no Jack, so i corrected that problem. but i can't take all t he credit...i must give partial credit to Mr. George Foreman himself, for allowing me the usage of his ever so famous grill, you sir added that extra grilling touch my Jack Daniel's steak needed. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =p

So i blog some more
I forgot to mention this...but happy 71st birthday to my dad...i know you'll prolly never read this, but i hope you have a great one, even though i wont be celebrating with you. he was supposed to come to sd this weekend to celebrate with me, but this on again/off again rain we keep getting cancelled his plans. it woulda been perfect for him to drive down too, since he has a rental car (a motorcycle hit the side of his car last week and ran off without sharing his contact and insurance info)

In other news...this is a 3 day weekend for me...my office so graciously gave us president's day off this coming monday, and then on tuesday i work from 11-9, with an hour of extra overtime. yeah, my schedule at work is differernt, ever since they put us on a rotating schedule...so basically some weeks i come in at 8 and stay til 5...some weeks i do the 9-6, 10-7, or 12-9 thing...and when i do the 12-9 week, they make us come in on sunday of that week, but i was able to trade...so next saturday, i'm working instead of next sunday. sucks doesnt it? oh well, what can i do...it's not like i can complain about it...we already tried, but the company overruled us and said that we need to meet "business needs." i don't see how rotating people's schedules is more convenient to the company than just having straight schedules with people staying in their respective shifts...what do i know, i'm just an employee.

so...what do i have planned for this weekend? nothing too exciting...the weather is really limiting things that i can do. i have been wanting to go shopping for some new shoes...but i havent been able to find a pair that i would want at a somewhat decent price. why am i being so cheap? i got a job that pays pretty well! i suppose it's because i dont like overspending on something i could prolly find at a cheaper price elsewhere. just cuz i'm working doesnt mean that i want to throw away my money. besides, i'm planning on putting a spoiler on my car maybe sometime this week...something i've always wanted, and i figure that now is the time to do it.

hmm...what to do during spring break...i scheduled time off from work at the same time UCSD has their spring break, so what am i gonna do? as of right now, i'm not too sure. i had wanted to go to the bay area to explore it, but i'm not too sure how that will play out for now. any suggestions? anyone?

wow...i'm actually updating this thing...we'll see how long this motivation to blog will last. i'm kinda considering changing the background...i've had this one for awhile, and i'm getting tired of it. ok...enough blogging, i shall return later. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =)
