Kansas

Wow-long time since posting...So I was in Holland and then came back for Saturday and had Valentine's Day with Matt <3

i know cute.

So Sunday I flew the Kansas City! But we went to Missouri Kansas City, not Kansas City Kansas...i guess they are just separated by a river.

When we got in we went out to this rib place. I must say, i beats Famous Dave's ten-fold! But we went to the workplace the next day and got a tour of the place and saw organs! But you couldn't tell they were organs-they were all frozen and stuff...but we did see cut up mice?

But the week there was long-we worked pretty late and the hotel didn't really have an internet connection to connect to, so when I got back today there was like, a week's worth of stuff to do.

It was so classic one night though-I got sushi for everyone's dinner and I've never really ordered or ate sushi so i got some california roll with avocado and when i picked it and started to eat the sushi i'm like oh this green stuff is the avacado and i took a huge chunk of it because i love avacado, and ate it with the sushi....it was wasabi! And I totally screamed at the client's site and spit it out in the garbage and people made fun of the the next day...really embarrassing.

but now i'm back in chicago! yay sleep now

Chicagoland

So survived the week in Holland Michigan-and every time we ordered dinner at some restaurant they always messed up our order! Once they forgot our salads, another time they gave us shrimp instead of salads, and they kept putting mayo on everything. And I only saw one windmill.

But everyone was really nice so that's a plus. I was working at this plastic manufacturer though and everytime I walked into the warehouse I felt plastic burn my nostrils...

NEXT week I'm in Kansas City, and we're going to work on this other manufacturer of chemicals and drugs or something and they have HUMAN KIDNEYS as inventory! I'm very excited/scared.

That's all for tonight-going to do laundry and rest up for the upcoming days!

Holland!...Michigan

So for this week I'm in Holland Michigan and I just pulled in about 10 minutes ago...So far there's a mall...and I think I saw a windmill that looked like a Holland-ish one...So if anyone wants to look up stuff to do here-let me know!

PS: yes driving through Gary Indiana did smell really bad!

Weird day

Had a very weird day today-was not assigned to anything so was supposed to just sit in the office and wait for something to do....So after reading yahoo, wsj, jsonline, and other news stories, youtubing and other fun stuff I was finally done with the workday!

One of my workfriends and I went to his place on the train (which takes forever!) and then got ready for his friend's surprise birthday party-it was pretty fun! We ended up getting deep dish pizza, cake and played apples to apples so it was a really fun night-and then...

Went to hop on the bus and after about 10 minutes on the bus the bus driver basically says it's the 'last stop' even though it's not...and makes us get off the bus and is like 'get on this bus'. So me and this other guy get kicked off and I have no idea where I am and have no idea what to do. I tried finding the train but there was no stop nearby and decided to catch this 'bus' which showed up so much later. This bus turned out to be about an 1-1:30 long-still had NO idea where I was, and ended up on Michigan Avenue where I then walked like 30 minutes home....So yeah, Good day-bad night

February!

I can't believe it's February already! Work has been pretty long these past couple of weeks-working about 10 to 11 hours. So I haven't been really doing anything except work and then come home and zone out watching-
Monday-The Bachelor
Tuesday- House repeats
Wednesday- Lost
Thursday- The Office


At least I haven't gotten into 24 this season!

ALSO the highlight of my day today was when I asked the two guys on my team what they were doing for Valentine's Day and my senior goes "SHIT!"

OMG! I nearly died laughing! Then they were like, "what day is it?" and I said Saturday so they were happy about that...but still it was SO funny!
