NaBloPoMo - Day Three

It's just another Fall weekend afternoon here at Casa de Snark. I'm sitting here at my new and improved laptop (Leopard is quite cool, kind of like having a new computer) switching back and forth between responding to my marketing class's online "discussion forum" (the topic this week: pick a Hummer commercial and talk about the MarCom objectives, and what Cialdini influences are used...oh boy) and hitting the "Update" button on our Ops Management simulation. I swear, this simulation is like crack cocaine...only less...illegal. The last time I was this obsessed with hitting an update button, I was trying to win a copy of Office '04 on eBay.

Did I mention my team was in first place? That's right, we're ahead of every other team by a cool $41k.

Today is one of those days I just love. I can look out my office window and watch the leaves falling, and see the sun lower in the sky today than it was...well, at this time yesterday. It's not quite sweater weather here in north Texas yet, but that's fine by me. This is that fantastically wonderful time of year in Texas when it's not too hot, but not too cold...all you need is a light jacket...in the evening.

How have all of your weekends been? I'm about to head out to return some shoes to DSW, some jammies to Gap Body and the have dinner with her. Funny, the last time I saw her was on my birthday last year. Can't believe it's been a year, especially since our Hawaiian vacations in September were so close to overlapping.

Then...it's back home to watch The Amazing Race. Holy crap, I can't even contain my excitement!
