i can't remember if i asked you guys this yet, but i'm taking a mini-poll for observations. do i come off as meek to you? i was talking with a professor, and we were going over what i thought were my best qualities. i said i thought i had strong self-confidence, and he told me i looked meek. talk about blow to my self-esteem. he then told me i probably felt like i had strong self-confidence, but it came off to him more as a quiet self-confidence and that i looked meek. a lot of people are telling me that i'm quiet when you first meet me, but once you get to know me, i'm quiet talkative and loud. meh, i dunno...

albert, i started out reading your essay with interest, and somewhere in the middle i started thinking to myself, "wow, this thing is never really going to end." =) however, i did read the disclaimer and all so i have no grounds to complain. and also, i totally agree with you. i'm still mystified by the fact that Ah-nold is now our govenor-elect. i know people only voted for him because of his celebrity status. if people were to boast a brain cell or two, none of this would be happening, not even the recall election for that matter. people, this great state of ours is now in the hands of the kindergarten cop.

and btw, i don't know where you got the idea that i have a stellar gpa, albert, but thanks for the thought. my gpa is mediocre, above average at best. =) also, if you're still looking for a pharmacy job, my boss is asking if i can recommend anyone. i told him i'd have to think about it.

fear not, kress, for i remembered to record Mraz today. i haven't watched yet, but i eagerly anticipate. i saw the first few minutes of the show, and yes, they were mocking us californians and our new governor. i didn't know we were such a hot topic for national debate.

guys, i don't think i am cut out for the 40 hour work week. it's already wednesday and i'm exhausted. i'm pretty sure the majority of employees of albertsons, vons and ralphs have voted to strike, SO, that means next week will be a nice little vacation for me. someone at work might persuade me to picket line and barricade the driveways. you might see me on TV, what do you think?
