one of the rooms we had at the W Montreal. yes... that is a glass wall in the shower. perfect for bachelor parties. 

bachelor parties are quite fun.

From today's WSJ:   Delta Air Lines said it plans to slash up to 9,000 jobs, reduce wages for remaining employees and accelerate changes to its route network as part of its plan to restructure under bankruptcy-court protection.

 

To those of you who called me dumb for rejecting their offer for a lower pay job... nyah nyah!  Told you so!

Yesterday, I had a pretty bad day at work.  Not that it was straight-out bad like Marina/Marn/MinaBina/Myleen/The Back/Back Fat/My Back Fat's days, but still bad (But don't worry, I still love work and my job).  After work, I went straight to Dave's house because Aileen was sick and sleeping.  Aileen has been sick for a week now and it comes and goes.  So I called her to make sure that she was okay, and that she didn't need anything.  She said no, so I just assumed I had a free pass to go play video games at Dave's.  So we had pizza and wings, played video games, relieved some stress, and went home around 930pm.

 

I know this sounds pretty boring, but here's where it gets interesting:

 

Well it just so happened that it was our four year anniversary that day.  So instead of spending time with Aileen, I went to Dave's and played video games while she was at her place miserable and sick.

 

Oops. 

 

But before you go and start bashing me, calling me a retard, threatening to murder me (like backfat did)... just know this: 

 

I'm the one that reminded Aileen that it was our anniversary.

this is from dchai's blog about a radio spot from k-love:

I heard this great K-Love spot while driving around on Sunday where this husband and wife are talking and he pronounces salmon like "sall-mon" and the wife starts ridiculing him, like "sall-mon? Isn't it supposed to be sa-mon? What, was 3rd grade like the hardest year of your life or something?"

Then a female voiceover comes on explaining how destructive it is when women do this. Men often want respect more than they want love. Women try and give men love the way they want to be loved themselves, but what men really need is respect. Especially in public. So when women belittle or disrespect men it destroys them.

Not sure if I completely agree with this, especially regarding my own relationship, but thought it is pretty much true. I think universally, it is more true to the person in the relationship who has more pride.


On another note, my boss keeps telling me that I should forget everything I learned in B-school since it doesn't apply, but I still try my hardest to use every excel trick, statistical method, matrices, and strategic frameworks. But what he really means is that B-school does not teach you how to play 'office politics.' The biggest lesson I have learned so far? You will get nowhere unless people respect you, and to get people to respect you, you have to earn it. How do you earn respect? I still haven't really figured that part yet. In my case, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm a nerdy looking Asian. My coworkers automatically assume I'm smart.
