Things to Do

Now I know this blog is not a "To-Do" list, but I don't care. I have a thing of post-it notes from Panasonic at a job fair, but it sucks so bad. The sheets don't stick, they keep falling and getting lost around my room. Because of this travesty, I have decided never to purchase any new Panasonic products, nor shall I accept any given job offer to work with the company, if for some strange reason one is proposed. How can I be associated with the company if they can't even make good Post-it notes?

On the other hand, Raytheon gave me this little digital clock/calendar thing that I actually use on my desk, and it even tells me the temperature. Now there's a company that's obviously going places. If such ingenuity is any indication of the work put into this country's military fighter jets, then our national defense has very little to worry about, believe you me. And now they've got me begging on their doorstep to take me in. "Hire me!! I'll be a janitor, anything!!"

Anyways, since Steven Covey said it's good to write down goals, I am going to record them here where everyone, not only me, can see. This will hold me accountable, so I hope. Also, it reminds me of when blogs were .plans. Even though nobody ever wrote anything they "planned" to do in their ".plan", I buck the trend.

- Buy more of those Listerine Pocket Pack things
- Open a checking account
- Refill my I-Pass and/or sign up for the Automatic refill
- Get an optical mouse
- Read up on fantasy football

Hmmm... hopefully that is not too ambitious. For those of you reading at home, that might seem to be an unrealistically tough list, but remember that I am no ordinary man. My brain has a memory like a Palm Pilot, but also advanced multitasking capabilities like Windows XP Professional. Ok, maybe not. Somebody please remind me about these things when they see me.
