1-800-FLOWERS screwed up the birthday bucket delivery for mike -- instead of delivering the package tomorrow on his birthday, they delivered it to him today. I dont understand why they bother taking down the 'delivery date' if they werent going to stick to it. oh well, at least it came BEFORE his birthday. it would have been pretty pointless if it came 'after' the birthday. the main thing is that he liked it so im happy. and it got him to eat during working hours, which is another main goal =) gotta feed my baby...

so i found out that the city of chicago will sponsor me if i choose to work with them come time to graduate. its nice to know that i have a back up plan i suppose but i dont want to work with the city if it means working anywhere near the proximity of my stupid old dorsey man. id rather go back home and work there rather than working with him (ok maybe not, but its close enough to the truth) i am sure i wont be doing work under dorsey though if i get hired on. i will make sure to be put into a database team. since i wont wanna be doing crap work with dorsey.

anyway, another networking event went stellar. another CIO and a few more names to call. i have a list of people that i need to touch base with and i hope to get to some of them by the end of this week. next week i will be meeting with another CIO and this time, it will be in a freaking restaurant. what the heck do i do then? i mean, whats the 'proper' code of conduct when networking in a restaurant? i suppose i will be eating salad.

ok, hopefully acxiom will hire me *please please*
