oh boy oh boy oh boy (panicked tone)
it looks like the deal for my boss to manage another golf course is going to go through. oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy... that means i'll be responsible for the administrative operations for TWO golf courses and the non-profit. oh man. that's gonna be a lot of work. not to mention that i'd want to change how this other course organizes their financial data. oh boy.....
need help
i need a proper job title. i, literally, do every type of work... bookkeeping, grantwriting, pr, marketing, fundraising... i manage two companies with a total of 22 employees. i do a lot of trouble shooting and play middle-man to ensure problems don't reach the CEO. i am the point of contact for legal and accounting. i do the leg work for all sorts of projects my CEO throws at me. so, what should my title be? and please, don't be a smart-aleck.
countdown: 11
11 more days of hell and i'm done with the quarter from hell. i've got a term paper to finish and a presentation to put together by saturday morning, 8:30 a.m. then i have to study my booty off for my finance final on the 7th and my operations final on the 9th. on a brighter note, ducks now have 42 points. what a beautiful ending to a hard game... with 17 seconds left in the 3rd, kunitz tied it up and then getzlaf got the winning goal in overtime. edmonton fans must really not like that pronger demanded to be traded at the end of last season and refused to say why. they had signs at the game with comments like, "the gap in your story is bigger than the gap in your teeth," "chris: 1985 phoned: they want their hair back," and they chanted "you sold out... prooooooooooooooooooooonger." anyway, we won. take that edmonton. neener neener neener!
35
ducks have 35 points!andy had an AWESOME assist last night to selanne. beautiful. parros did what he's there for. he got in a fight. but seriously? the guy can't skate worth crap. he fell EVERY single time he was on shift. so sad. he had a few good passes but come on... learn how to skate! i still say the best pass of the night was the one from penner while he was on his butt.
misc.
i spent so much time with my team at school this weekend i felt like i didn't have a weekend. boogers. i was supposed to meet with kay & her wedding party but had to cancel. i wasn't able to play softball and they needed another girl. last night, i was so tired that i knocked out at 8:45 pm. crazy.guess who got 2 goals and 2 assists last night? that's right, andy mcdonald!!!!!! woo-hoo! the first game i go to this season, they lose and to chicago? they suck! ducks better get it together. they can't lose it this early on. they played a little sloppy yesterday, too. i'm going to the game tomorrow night. should be greeeeeeeeeat... against san jose. go ducks!heard a song on the radio while i was driving back from panera. after i heard this line, i switched stations... "if it weren't for date rape, i'd never get laid." something like that. horrible.
random
h&m stores are popping up faster than ... i don't have an analogy at the moment. my brain is a bit fuddled since i still have that nasty virus that is going around. anyway, h&m... not only have they opened in pasadena and plan to open up everywhere else... there's going to be one in crystal court. they already had the spectrum one planned and now there will be one 15 minutes away? dude... they'd best watch out for over expansion if you ask me. it'll be like krispy kreme.there are so many weddings next year. i've officially received the save the date to one where i'm a guest. then i'm in a wedding in may, july, and september. i'm not complaining, mind you... but jeez people... spread it out a little!!!! i told cicely that i hope nobody else gets engaged or if they do, please have a hella long engagement.my parents came down to irvine for lunch. i wanted them to meet my undergrad professor, dr. chen, with whom i've kept in touch. he's written me all sorts of letters of rec for programs i've applied for. anyway, my parents and he are both looking to do the same type of non-profit work in china so i thought they could possibly collaborate. i'm back in the office but they are still at panera chatting it up. oh, and i received the nicest compliment. dr. chen told my parents that i was the best student he's had. granted, the best student doesn't necessarily mean the brightest but hey, all in all, a very cool thing to say. i was pleasantly surprised.

funny friends
i have a cold or a flu or something. it hit me friday night but it wasn't too terrible. i went out saturday night to geisha house for a friend's birthday and then back down to irvine to go to tentation for another friend's birthday. i stayed out too late, drank a little too much, and was a little bit naughty. i think maybe that's why i got even more sick than i was. so i woke up feeling crappy on sunday. i called jay to see if there was a way i could not go to the softball game, and he said, "dude, if i hadn't looked at my phone, i wouldn't have known it was you." he was laughing while he said this because apparently my voice sounded different, so different, in fact, that had to pass the phone to cicely so she could hear. at first she said it sounded like me but then she too started laughing and said i sounded funny. then she asked me to tell her my life story... just so she could hear my funny sounding voice. funny, friends. funny. needless to say, i didn't make it to the softball game or bible study, and i didn't study.
