I spent the majority of my morning trying to wake up- 3 cups of coffee later I was shaking a bit, but awake. Now that it is time to begin to wind down, I am WIDE awake. I hate that. Perhaps I should lay off the coffee ice cream. Damn free caribou coupon. Just because it is free doesn't mean that I need to get it. This is in reference to the new caribou ice cream that was for sale this month.
The phrase of the day was: "Do you have time for...?"
These past couple of weeks at work have been insane. And every couple hours I have someone asking me if I have time to take on another task/project. I have a lot of day to day activities to do already, but lately, I have been getting asked to do even more. I have a hard time saying no, so then I end up running around like a chicken with my head cut off and swearing like a sailor. "Fuck you..." has become my new catch phrase. And I find I am swearing at a lot of inanimate objects, most frequently at my Apple II look-a-alike computer and my phone that does not have caller ID. I love my job though, so I guess it makes it a little better. I have had to go to some awful meetings this week. TV Reps try to sway us with prizes, someone won a PSP (I would be jealous but I won one last summer)on Tuesday and on Thursday someone gave away a "disposable grill". It sucks when you miss out on the electronics and end up with a one-time-use grill. Free stuff is free stuff, but it definitely varies by the day.
Phillips Union, my favorite whiskey, is going to wrap some cabs in Chicago starting in June. I don't know what they look like, but if you're in Chicago- check them out- I think they'll be pretty cool. Even better, try the whiskey. Vanilla is the best.
One of the clients I work on is nominated as a "best spot of the week" for Adweek (an industry mag). This is what the critic had to say about the TV spot....
"Tractor Supply Co.: Someone's smoking crack in the heartland. These have to be the funniest, most bizarre spots I have ever seen for a tractor-supply store. I would never have thought you could do anything good for a tractor-supply store. Go figure." -John Butler, Creative Director, Butler Shine Stern & Partners, Sausalito CA
Yeah for Tractors! And Crack? Maybe that's why smoking has been banished from the work patio...
Murphy's Law observation: If I wear my kick ass Target rainboots, it will NOT rain, it will be hot and sunny. If I do not wear them, it rains like I should be building an arc and collecting animals 2 by 2.

one-time use grill? how does that even work?
It's a grill in a box (does not include matches). Open, light, grill, toss. I think we are going to use them tomorrow, I will report back the success of it...
