Google

totally obsessed with the idea of working at Google... and may be applying to jobs that I don't really qualify for. Why some might ask...It may be that they've been on the top companies to work for for the past few years with good benefits, stocks, corporate is nice, blah blah blah what not... or it may be because i've stalked their what its like to work for seattle/kirkland google office photo page... but none the less... i'm obsessed.


oh well perhaps they will like my soc background??!!
hopefully...
fingers crossed...
throwing pennies in the wishing well...
looking for the first star i see tonight...
anybody have a wishbone lying around...

sore sore sore



Sore. Sore. Sore.
So I mentioned in passing to the big bro that I wanted to start lifting weights and what does he do? He immediately asks his coworker (who by the way is a hostage rescue team member in training) to come up with a plan for me.
A few days ago we started lifting... and it has been a LONG time since I've felt this sore.
But I do miss the feeling... growing up every Sunday I would feel sore after Saturday swim practices... but that would generally go away after a day. With lifting with the bro I was sore for four days... pain in the behind (literally and figuratively)! This morning I lifted for the first time by myself at the gym... and let me tell you... there are WEIRD people there in the am! Creepy old men who are trying to lift as much as the younger meat heads but who can hardly lift the bar... Single fathers who pick their kids up from where I work wearing little tank tops and tight pants.... AWKWARD!
