Wall street is all agog right now. Everyone’s talking about AIG and Lehmann brothers. Wall street is on the verge of collapse they say. Ironically the peso weaked vs the dollar as of my last check. Am I the only one freaking out about this? 

It’s great when someone believes in you….as U2 aptly states: 

I and I in the sky

You make me feel like I can fly

So high

Elevation

Love

Lift me up out of these blues

Won’t you tell me something true

I believe in you 

While driving to work I realized that Ruy is my One-man Fan Club. I have never had anyone believe in me in the way he does. It’s amazing what he believes I can do, what he thinks of my principles, my IQ, my EQ (if any) it’s almost insane how much this guy believes in me. 

I hate Vicki and her yummy cupcakes. I ate 3 cupcakes yesterday. That’s not right…it’s very very wrong.  You know what’s worse? After eating 3 cupcakes I found myself longing for her orange marmalade. Damn it Vicki…you’re EVIL. But damn those cupcakes are so good. Vicki can you make cupcakes with diet pills in them? That way I will not have such self remorse after bingeing on cupcakes?

I am very week. Exactly 10 days after selling my 3-day old mp3 player I found myself looking at ipods again. I was drawn by the yummy colors of the latest ipod releases. I had to remind myself that I had to sell my mp3 player because I only used it for around 3 hours on the first day and it lay forgotten the next couple of days. I am really not into personal music players. I like playing music on my laptop and singing my ass off in my car but I really have no use for an ipod….BUT I WANT THE NEW ONE. hahaha Illogical much?

A recurring task I have is recruitment and this has me staring into pools and pools of resumes. I am sometimes awed at the variety of resumes I look at. I have applicants coming all the way from Mindanao! Wow. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at that, at least that one is from the same country. Imagine my surprise when I chanced upon  Boston resumes. Talk about surprising.
