Shuke - I wrapped my wife's presents myself this year!

 

[Sweet Feet]

Before I forget, and because it's really important, I wanted to relay that Mr. krista has a colleague who is apparently a good chef but not very experienced, smart or worldly. They recently upgraded so that the paper towel and soap dispensers at the restaurant are automatic, which this guy has never seen. So Mr. krista and the sous chef convinced the guy that, while you put your hands under the device, you have to simultaneously shout "PAPER!!!" or "SOAP!!!" at the the relevant machine. For a few days he just stood and shouted at machines in his deep Southern accent until the head chef noticed took pity on him.

ugh... maybe Im not drunk enough

Hi Josh!

Hello my friend. I had some great German beer tonight. I have a picture if you need it.

I need to work something like this into my work shtick.

I did get in a well-placed "that's what she said" today but I'm not sure anyone understood. This is what happens when you have a boss that, I'm not kidding, watched the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader reality show called "Making the Team" in order to get management tips. I really mean that; that's what he took from it.

we convinced my old receptionist that we had upgraded our copier to voice recognition. she must have yelled "10 copies!" at the thing for 15-20 minutes before someone took pity on her.

Nice. I'm going to be horribly disappointing for updates on anything, except vacation starting tomorrow! I think Mr. krista still actually has no idea where we're going, which is kind of fun.

If I weren't a freaking lawyer with duties of privilege and confidentiality, oh the stories I could tell about my job...

Abe - I totally agree that it's a terrible time to be in business in this city.

Austin should expect solid economic growth and a healthy economy in 2013 and 2014, according to one leading economist.Angelos Angelou, principal executive officer for Angelou Economics, delivered his annual economic forecast Dec. 11."We pride ourselves on our forecast and not overshooting our numbers, but I cannot help, given the economic development here, and through the efforts of the city, county and state, but be very bullish for the next year," he said.Angelou forecast the Austin economy would add 29,000 jobs in 2013 and more than 30,000 in 2014. The strongest growth areas would be in business and professional services, leisure and hospitality, construction, education, and health services.He predicted that the unemployment rate would drop to 5.2 percent, the lowest it has been since 2008.

Neat. Our business is throughout the country. So this is of no help. But thanks for the concern.

Glad I could be here for you.

[Tecumseh]

So I before I left for work this morning, I got a floater/flasher in my eyes, it looked like there was a huge kaleidoscope in my vision. It last about 45 minutes. Freaked out for a bit but went to work, I am swamped and will be taking a few days off for Christmas. I had set aside all of today to do 5 peformance reviews that I'm actually a few days late on. Called my eye doc just to get a heads up and he demanded I be seen today. Only problem was that he was booked. He's affiliated with a local chain so the other place by my work didn't have a doctor in today, so I had to go all the way back up by home for an early afternoon appointment. Everything is fine, he said I had an "eye migraine", I guess some blood vessels running to my eye suddenly dilated temporarily and it caused this.

So I leave and I can't see #### unless it's more than 4 feet away because my eyes were dilated, and had a headache so took a nap. Got up and my wife has a real migraine, so I had to help with dinner and get the kids to bed. So now I have to stay up all night getting these reviews done. Awesome.

WOW SHUKE THAT IS HORRIBLE. GLAD TO HEAR EVERYTHING IS OK. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR WORK STUFF.

Oh wow, thanks, I really appreciate it.

That eye thing is weird. I always liked the little floaty things and thought they were drug residues.

You know what's weird, I think those floaty things are there all the time, but your brain blocks them out. We should get Gatorman in here.Actually what I had was an occular migraine. Totally freaked me out because it wasn't going away. What's crazy is that it looked just like these representations, C-shaped and on the left side.

Huh. I get those. Never knew what it was, just pressed on and hoped it wasn't a tumor.

My faith in my 6 year old daughter's future is starting to look bright. After years of Hannah Montana, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber, she is starting to sing along with my music in the car. Her current favorites are 'Madness' by Muse and 'Sympathy for the Devil'.

I remember when my son was around that age and he asked me to play 'Jerry Was A Racecar Driver' again.

The "Crazy Song" is a staple in our car.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmTSQZjR3DE

Pretty sure catacombs would get the kids going.

You had one of these last for over 30 minutes and never bothered to talk to a doctor about it? I guess I'm paranoid. I thought I was having a stroke or something. Although I did go ahead and drive to work and wait 4 hours to call my doc.

Whoa--I had one of those in college. Went away after about 45 minutes. I always figured it was some sort of residual thing from LSD.

Dont you feel a bit uneasy when you think you could have a stroke at your young age? Im not familiar with anyone here so Im sincerely asking. Seems very scary. Do u think about changing up your diet?

They usually last about that long, but they are kind of a harbinger for a regular migraine. Once it shows up, I know it's time to lie down in the dark.

The stadium will be awesome. But then again ANYTHING will be better than the one we have now. It's probably the worst minor league stadium in the world. I mean it's bad even for Bakersfield.

I tried to become Facebook friends with some of you who's names I recognize, in case you are wondering who the weirdo is.

I think your location and employer should be enough clues for anyone.

Oh krista. I'll get a VIBRO review up in the next couple of days. You wanna check it out before I post? It's gonna be all good.

I would suggest leaving out the word "midget".

Also "sex trafficking"

And dictate it to Julio.

Oh krista. I'll get a VIBRO review up in the next couple of days. You wanna check it out before I post? It's gonna be all good.

Understood. Just what DID we call them before the Great War? Your memory is better than mine.

I don't need to read anything in advance. Just be honest!

Review below sent to VRBO. I recently returned from a week's stay at Casa Paloma. The house is spacious and comfortable; Old World style with modern amenities. The neighborhood is safe and is filled with incredibly nice people (sit on the front stoop and within a minute you'll be chatting with a neighbor). Markets, stores, shops, and banks are within easy walking distance - as is the town square with all of its entertainment options. Julio (property manager) is fantastic - he can arrange tours, transport, etc... and is always available to help. Paloma is about a 10 minute ride from Lake Nicaragua and I would strongly recommend a boat tour of Isletas on the Lake (especially the Isle of Monkeys!). Granada is also chock-full of historical buildings (some of the churches are unbelievable). Less than half an hour away is the active volcano at Masaya - you can drive right up to the crater. What else? There are always taxis - both motorized and horse driven - around if you want to just hop in and go somewhere. In closing, I had an amazing time and I'd recommend this property to anyone looking to visit this lovely city.

Lllllama> you pumped about the new Blaze stadium and the hiring of Ken Griffey Sr. as the manager?

everything i've heard is that their stadium was so horrible that it was basically the last pick when choosing affiliations and every time the affiliate agreement was up, the team would leave. maybe now they'll be able to hold onto a team for more than a couple of years and people will actually want to play there. it's still bako though, so...
