I'm having problems with this blog today, so I'll check it out later. Have a great weekend.

Top 10 Signs that you work for IBM:

10. You lecture the neighborhood kids selling lemonade on ways to improve their process.

9. You get all excited when it's Saturday so you can wear sweats to work.

8. You refer to the tomatoes grown in your garden as deliverables.

7. You find you really need Freelance to explain what you do for a living.

6. You normally eat out of vending machines and at the most expensive restaurant in town within the same week.

5. You think that "progressing an action plan" and "calendarizing a project" are acceptable English phrases.

4. You know the people at faraway hotels better than your next-door neighbors.

3. You ask your friends to "think outside the box" when making Friday night plans.

2. You think Einstein would have been more effective had he put his ideas into a matrix.

And, the number one sign you work for IBM...

1. You think a "half-day" means leaving at 5 o'clock.

Here's a joke that I heard in the office. Eileen is from Taiwan, so I can't tell it like she does.

Three guys have died and our standing inside St. Peter's gate. The angel of transportation is assigning them vehicles to get to their next destination. The angel tells the first guy that because he was always faithful to his wife during his marriage, that he would receive a Lamborghini. He tells the second guy that because he was unfaithful to his wife only once, that he would receive a Trek mountain bike. The last guy is told that because he was unfaithful to his wife dozens of times, that he would get roller skates.

The three men start traveling on the road to their destinations. After a few hours, the man on roller skates catches up to the man in the Lamborghini who is parked by the side of the road. He has his head in his hands and is crying. The guy on roller skates asks why he's crying, since he has a Lamborghini. The man looks up and says, "Well, I just saw my wife and she was on roller skates.".

It looks like I'm going to be in St. Louis for another year. I just signed on for another project that will be finishing towards the end of 2003. I'm happy about it, because it has been kind of interesting traveling here for the last few months and most of the people are fun to work with. Also, it's kind of relief to know that I won't have to go someplace further. It's a good thing that I'm becoming a Cardinals fan.
