today was full of extrems. i learned i have to get a crown on the tooth i got a root canal on a few years ago, was crabby all day because of a boy and work stuff. then when i got home road runner was installed and my brother and sister got the last coat of primer and the first coat of paint on the walls of my office. i just finished the second coat and IT LOOKS AWESOME. I can put the rug in tomorrow and start setting up my NEW COMPUTER then.

My mom is going to alter my curtians on wednesday and I have some shelves to set up then I will be done with two rooms. this weekend will be the office and the "den", cleaning up the kitchen and adding a cabinet and whatever can be done in bathroom. Eric's room and bathroom are pretty much done. Then it is the livingroom, which is a much bigger project.

those who are going to cock night on wednesday should come to my condo first, CAUSE I WANT TO SHOW IT OFF.

caffeine doesn't seem to affect me so much. i think it's consistent.

coffee is more of a ritual.

Coffee, or coffee shop boy? :)

they need to hire more cute boys at dunn brothers. i hardly ever see that supershy one anymore. mostly they're moody girls with too much eyeliner.

Ah yes, the coffee shop "Bitches". You gotta love the moody coffee shop chicks.

they're especially bad at that one shop, for some reason. although if you get them talking, they're usually not terrible.

well, like half of them are terrible.

Every so often I desire a foo foo coffee so I go to a local Starbucks in Bloomington. They treat me totally different if I am wearing a tie, or jeans. The chicks are snooby as hell if I'm dressed up, and more friendly if I am in Jeans. Its kind of become a little experiment for me.

I can just picture the conversation they have with themselves:
"Damn yuppie bastards and their damn ties and suits. DAMN THEM."

is that the one across from best buy? i noticed the atmosphere of that one changed completely when they moved in. like, every time i went in there, i wanted to punch some guy in an electric-blue shirt.

Nope . . . Down off 98th and Lydale.

What is with your love of Best Buy? Did you used to work there and ran when Accenture came to town?

[f-o-n-y.livejournal.com]

no, but i have a lot of ex-coworkers who did. they've all been cut. also, i HATE their shady deal with the city of richfield. i lived there at the time. evil fuckers.

[short-angry.livejournal.com]

So I take it you have not purchased anything from their stores recently? When I was doind IT Recruiting, I must have met with 150 Best Buy people who still work there but are PISSED about accenture.

The deal they did with the City of Richfield was more of a City of Richfield thing, then a Best Buy thing. I know Best Buy wanted the land, but Richfield is NASTY about booting people when a bigger tax payer comes calling. I have had 2 friends move their business's out of richfield because of development and richfield said "This is how much your getting, and you have 3 months. Have a nice day"

i don't really know about accenture. i heard everything was outsourced. i just know a ton of IT people lost their jobs for cheaper replacements. that's wrong. same way any big corporation works.

[short-angry.livejournal.com]

The funny thing is the people who stayed retained their pay . . . but became accenture employees. I had Sr. Directors who Best Buy was paying $120k a year salary become accenture employees making the same base salary with as they were before. But the bill rate best buy was paying was $150 to $175 an hour. Made no sense what so ever.

does that mean they can only work there for a year and then have to go away and be rehired? or do they sign a waiver?
