nick was at the vendor after work dealie. i've not talked about nick here before. he used to work with my office as an outside rep, but works for a different division. he was in town and so he came out with us. on the way out of the bar he says to me 'i'm surprised you're still in stamford. don't you want to go somewhere else?'

i was alittle taken back by this. nick and i worked very well together and truth be told, he's the only outside rep i've ever worked with who really 'gets' what he should be doing. his point is that why am i staying in stamford when i should walk up to jeff and say, 'i want to go X and i want to be there within six months.' mike was there, hes a current outside guy whose been around for like eight years, chimed in that nick was right. if i said i want to go to X, i'd go.

that's kinda stunning. it's like having some sort of bizzare power that i can tell the company where i want to go and trust that they won't tell me to go to hell.

i'm tempted to flex my moving muscle and see. where should i go? the only location that makes typical sense is pittsburgh, where i'm from. we do have an office there.

i'm really not excited about the superbowl. i'd like to see the pats win though.

i forgot to mail my rent check.

i'm beging think i'm alot more manicdepressive than i thought before.

what was the big deal with the lady bomber in isreal?

i've decided to be alot shorter and blunter with people in general. i can't want to develop into a really bitchy old man, well if i ever get old in age that is. i'm definitly old in the mind now.

through a variety of things, some i control and some i don't, i think i'm well on my way to become a very bitter, disillusioned fella.
