yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup,

So i've been out of touch in the world of xanga for a while now... you can blame SonicWall at work for that.  I shall try to keep though

a couple of things i feel i need to mention:
lava lamps are cool
work is work
i've missed people
its good to see people
don't like lurky bosses
car naps are necessary
blacksocks
video games are digital crack
multi vitamins make your pee glow
my car needs a fixin.. much much fixing. 
               -to my vehicle: just hold out a bit longer pal.. i'll fix you up, i promise
waking up late for work sucks
$ crunch
i have operation, wanna play?
VCU shoulda won again.
my knuckles are coming back (i sure showed that tree a thing or two)
i wanna be a morning person
car insurance
sometimes i dunno what to do
THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!
feels good to gym again... i like knowing i can lift things
i missed music in my car more than i thought.. although i think people should try not having it for a time.
don't leave your gas cap at a gas station or on your bumper
i suck at poker
don't spit into the wind
don't spill coffee on your desk or self
a couple "word of the day"s i liked: cogitate, appurtenance, taciturn i miss home, sometimes a whole lot.  i need to breathe me some washington air for a few days at least.  but alas.. no time.. friggin' work
gmailchatIM is my friend
don't forget to smile


made a new friend a few weeks ago.. he's a real boy:

sssshafted!


i need to learn how to play poker again.


exxxxtreme-ly busy day at work.  i'm tired.. i'm always tired
casting was fun, huh?

pushing dru's car across the intersection afterwards was fun too.. tow truck dude was.. fun? well,  interesting at least.. its ok guy, just disract him with the cheetos!

I've been to the dmv during lunch "hour" three days in a row.. the lady at the counter told me i was causing her de ja vu. soooooooo much paperwork.  I'm done there though.
i got a 94.44 percent on my driver's test.. ALLLLLL-RIGHT! this calls for a celebration mitches. anyone? huh?
I also have... california license plates.. BOO.. they didn't let me keep any of my old washington plates, i asked.. i just can't look at that vehicle the same.. *sigh*
although it did pass the smog test.. thanks car, was happy about that.. just need everything else to be fixed.

at least i still have my washington license.. but with a hole in it.
i'm still a washingtonian... POP

its snowing in renton and seattle!!

yesterday was Monday, Monday..and a pretty slow day at work. 
I had some free time so i decided to go ahead and take care of some online banking e-bills, billpay, etc.. including getting a new checking/savings account.  As i was signing up, i was invited to chat with a online helper person.  I tried it out.. it was pretty cool.  I was actually very pleased with not only how helpful the service was, but how delightful the conversation went. I was helped by a very nice guy named Alvin.  We're friends now. Here's the chat:

Chat Information You are now chatting with Alvin. Welcome to Bank of America. How can I help you complete your online checking or savings application today?
Alvin: Hello! What new accounts may I assist you in opening today?
You: umm, i already have a checking account with BofA and i wanted to learn about this Free Checking online offer
You: and i wanted to open a savings account as well
Alvin: Great!
Alvin: I would love for you to take advantage of this special offer. I would recommend the MyAccess checking free with no minimum balance and no maintenance fees when you make at least one Bill pay through our free online banking every 3 months.
Alvin: With the checking you will also get the Regular savings, free for 6 months with no fees and no minimum balance. Then free after with no minimum balance with a auto monthly transfer of at least $25 from checking to savings. Not a fee it can be transferred back if needed.
Alvin: How does that sound? we cam open both today and link it to your current checking with no money needed today at all!
You: ok, that sounds pretty good. So just to clarify for myself, if i pay my cellphone bill through online banking every month i should be able to continue with this plan with no mim balance and no mainenance fees?
Alvin: Yes that is correct, no fees and no minimum balance.
Alvin: Great way to separate finances .
Alvin: How did you like the savings?
You: ok.. will i be charged a fee to come in and use the tellers at BofA?
Alvin: Not at all.
Alvin: Unlimited teller access.
Alvin: And ATM access.
You: ok.. so i'm not really sure what kind of options or anything i have for a the savings account
Alvin: With the checking you will also get the Regular savings, free for 6 months with no fees and no minimum balance. Then free after with no minimum balance with a auto monthly transfer of at least $25 from checking to savings. Not a fee it can be transferred back if needed.
You: great
