Talked to Bill briefly today, he ran into Jeff at J.D.'s this week. Jeff's started a new job at Lowes.

I may go out for a bit later.

Had dinner at a nice Italian restaurant nearby work, with colleagues from our sister agency Market Vision from San Antonio.

Surprisingly, it's very cold out, and it's snowing. Had a hard time finding a cab to get me home. It's supposed to snow more overnight.

Chip, a friend from work, got me a jar of olives today as a present, cool

Just exchanged a few txt messages w Jen, she is out and about having fun.

Marlena left a voice message, I will try and call her back later if I can stay up. She's on California time.

Got to work kind of early today. I can get so much done early in the mornings and late in the evenings.

Txt'd with Jen some last night. Sounds like her friends Dan and Scott might be thinking of moving, that'd be a bummer, they are really nice people.

I called Verizon over the weekend and got my broadband connection upgraded. They told me it'd be done by COB today, so as soon as I got home I rushed to the computer to see how fast it was - I know, I am such a geek

Anyway, the router says it's trained up at a whooping 3.4 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. That's amazingly fast. Not that it was slow before (1.8 Mb down/512 Kbps up,) but still, it's noticeable. Great job Verizon, they're putting their new fiber network to a good use.

This evening I talked to Danielle for a while before leaving work, she is a colleague. She is in charge of the recruitment portion of the Johnny Walker Mentor program, very cool stuff. I hadn't talked to her in a while, we caught up. She is thinking of going back to graduate school, so she wants to take the GRE, which I took a few years back myself. She also had some interesting stories about her love life, which I'm afraid I shall not reveal here . Perhaps some other day.

Anyway, getting milder outside, can't wait for Spring.
