Awesome Beefsteak Dinner

The Skyliners ran a beefsteak dinner Saturday night, and it was completely awesome!! Everyone had a great time, and we even made money! I was very happy to be part of it and very proud of the administrative team that worked together and made it happen!

Easter was nice

Had a good Easter weekend. Saw pictures of my niece / nephew "the guppy." Got half of the concrete in my yard chunked up. Got some SUNSHINE!!!! :-)

Why Do You Do Your Kid's Homework?

My new pet peeve is parents who do their kids' homework. Do you realize that by the time your kid is 17, the only thing he/she will be qualified to do is flip burgers? Believe me, your twenties are FAR more fun if you have a decent paying job and money to spend and you are not attached by the purse strings to your parents.

PLEASE do your kids a favor and make them figure out their homework with your guidance - not the other way around.

Validation

One of the things I was worried about when I took my current position was my lack of experience in writing requirements. It was totally awesome when my boss came over and complimented me on the requirements I had been writing for one of my projects. I think having other people validate the work I'm doing will give me the confidence I need to become an established business analyst.

In other news, I'm both glad and disappointed that the parade I was going to be marching in tomorrow with the Blackhawks has been postponed due to the impending storms. It will not be the same to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in April.

The English language is cool!

Today I was going nuts because I was confused between the words "collaborate" and "corroborate." I later ended up typing "corraborate," which of course is not a word.

Being that I found on this site that it's a common English error, I guess I'm not the only one.

It doesn't take a lunar eclipse for me to bowl well. Another 500 series! And this time we actually took 5 points - yippee!!

Bummer

Just did a biometric screening at work. Fasted for 9 hours... Blood test didn't work. Now it's hard to type because I have two bandaids on two fingers. They said I wasn't hydrated enough - they're the ones that told me not to drink! Meh.

Fasting is no fun...

Need to fast for a biometric screening today. Can't wait to see what's left in the cafeteria for lunch at 2:30.

Some incentive to post more often!

Blogging is good for you - http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/03/03/blogging-social-health.html

Of course, when you have a blog like mine that most people don't read and nobody comments on, the benefits would be minimal.
