Flip your lid!

Hi folks. Thanks, Brian for your entry the other night. Readers, I hope you enjoyed the change in author for the day. By the way, I'd love to have anybody else that's interested write in and tell me (and the rest of the world) what you've been up to! I'm trying to convince Olivia to post an entry and tell everybody what she's been up to, but she continues to refuse.

We had a great time Monday in Bridgewater. We left here at around 9am and rolled into my parent's driveway at 11:30 (right on time!!). The initial reason for showing up that early was so that we could see Pearl Harbor with Mom, Dad, Jennifer and James. But, since we had already seen that on Saturday, we really diddn't feel like seeing it again, and we couldn't find any other movies that we wanted to see. So, Olivia and I stayed at Mom & Dad's house and watched as much of The Three Amigos as we could before we both fell asleep. We ended up sleeping about 2 hours each..almost the entire time everybody was away at the movie. Looking back on it, we really shouldn't have arrived so early, but it gave Olivia and I a nice chance to nap. We both needed to make up sleep that we lost over the weekend with Mike and Brian here.

Today at work was...not-so-good. It's not that it was not-so-good for me..but it was not-so-good for happiness' sake. We were all asked by our CEO, John Adams, to meet in the Atrium at 3:30pm. He sounded very serious in his voice mail that he left us. So, at 3:30, everyone reluctantly made their way to the Atrium. The big announcement was a structural change inside the company. The partners decided thatit would be best to centralize our web development department, Martin Interactive, to our New York office. This means that almost all of our Interactive guys (and gals) here in Richmond lost their jobs today. Now, there was only about 10 people, but it's still never a good thing to have to let people go. I felt really bad for them. I also feel bad for them (and Mike) because of the challenge they face now: finding a job. It seems like a really tough market out there right now for jobs. My heart goes out to all of them..especially Mike.

On a happier note, my Visor flip cover came today from FlipCover.com. What an amazing invention. I wonder now why Handspring didn't think of this themselves when they were inventing the Visor handheld. I love it. And..it was only $12.99. Awesome.

Still no tail lights today. I'm getting antsy. Ok, so I was getting antsy the day after the auction ended, but I'm really antsy now that it's been almost 13 days and still no tail lights. Perhaps I'll call the guy tonight. He's new to eBay, so maybe he just needs a wakeup call.

That's about all for tonight. Take care!
