Another unemployment update

Last friday 4 people bit the dust while 4 others moved on to our offices in brooklyn. I'm left sitting alone in my section of cubicle. It kinda sucks, I'm bored out of my mind. I wish I had a date of when I was going to be let go, atleast this way I can make plans for my funemployment. Or perhaps get right back on that horese and find my next job and say, "on to the next one."

They get older but refuse to age: Demi Moore

I only hope the girl I accidentlly impregnant ages as well as Demi.

Update: Unemployement

The vibe and energy in the office is contratidator to what one might expect for an office on the verge of being disbanded. Earlier this week a PDF was emailed to every single person in the office outlining our terms for "seperation". Not to get into details but being let go before April would be much better than being let go after because being let go after would mean our severance packages would be cut in half. Back to the vibe in the office, I can only describe it as feeling like those last few weeks of school, right before the start of the summer, right before you're ready to graduate and open that new door into your life. But instead of hanging around lockers in the hallway we're hanging around each others cubicles shooting the shit like we were hearing each other's stories for the first time. Back then you would of gone through yearbook pictures reliving memories, now we go through JPG images and AVI movies scattered through out our work computers doing the same thing we used to do whenever we went through our high school year books. And like the last few days of school before you graduate you start to wonder what are you going to do with yourself once these days are behind you. Well for me its the same thing for my inevitable unemployment, as of lately it has been nothing but thoughts of what am I going to do now. But its nothing like that, "I'm screwed, what am I going to do now!?!" My tone is something more like, "I have some choices to think about, what am I going to do now..." Update: Only a few more weeks till summer.

She took my point and shoot skills to a whole new level

Do I want an iPhone that can't make a call or an iPod that won't fit in my pocket? How about both!

At first glance I was dissapointed by Apple's announcement of the iPab. It looks like an iPhone or iPod touch that devoted a couple months to the gym and endored a couple cycles of steroid treatments. But after watching Apple's 7 minute promo video I must admit I kinda wanted one. Heres a quick list of my likes and dislikes of the iPad

Likes:
- size; looks like a perfect size for comfortably surfing the web on the couch.
- bluetooth; this will allow wireless connetivity for headphones (i think, i hope and a keyboard.
- improved apps: the apps we love on our iPhone and iPod Touch are revamped to utilize the bigger screen.
- price; this is kind of an iffy... while $499 isn't chump change, it is much lower than what I was expecting from an Apple product.

Dislikes:
- size; its smaller than a laptop but bigger than an iPhone, still trying to figure out if this thing is suitable for a mobile lifestyle
- content; we can expect the typical iTunes content we've seen for years with the additon of books to the iTunes library. I'm not much of a reader so that does nothing for me.


I wouldn't buy one, but it would make a great gift... so if anyone would want to donate one please let me know =)

14/365= crazy traffic coming into the office.

The country of China is one gigantic sausage fest

What do you get when you mix a preference towards male babies and sex specific abortions? China! According to this article posted up by yahoo, something like 24 million chinese men can expect to be single in 2010. The large disparity between the male and female population can be attributed to the common practice of sex specific abortions. I bet you those 24 million chinese men are saying to themselves, "dam you parents of the previous generation for the ultimate cock block."
