Daily Update

Oh look at the white fluffy clouds. I just remembered when I got to work that it
wasn't monday. Oops. I hope your Monday's wern't to boring without a daily update
from jimbo. I was super busy inside the walls of utah. My little sister's mission
farwell was on Sunday. She's going to New York. I think she will be known as 'That
Sister', if you know what I mean. "Sisters are Blisters" is how I've heard it. And
I'm sure my sister will not let that title down.

So getting to Salt Lake was more a chore than I had ever imagined. I never thought
I'd say this but I had wished that I would have taken Southwest. the plane was
late. delayed, and then broken! after 35 minutes of waiting they drove back to the
gate so maintenance could check something out. an hour and a half later they
decided we could fly again. And, on the way back I thought that Delta was going to
make up for that infraction by leaving SLC early and landing 30 minutes early, but
no, that didn't mean we got to the gate until 15 after scheduled arrive time,
putting us 45 minutes late. Oh bother.

Oh the plane I sat next to some sassy chick who had LOTs of junk food and was very
talkitive. We talked it up the whole time. For a few minutes it turned into a
religious discussion, cause hey, its salt lake. I had to laugh out loud at myself
because I always think of all those general authority talks where they mention
baptizing people on the plane after knowing them for 5 minutes, so I was thinking
that I would be gathering some great material for the possible next talk I might
have to give, but then I remembered that the last talk I gave I spoke about Hookers,
Bars and my embarassing moments which I think put me on the 'don't let him talk for
a while' list. So I think I'm still safe.

Some of you may know my 'new sister' Brandi. Over this past weekend she collected a
suprising number of nicknames, for example: Brand-zilla, Brandi-locks, Ruffels,
B-Diddy, Green shirt girl, 'Slippery', and most favorite- "Brandgalina (the
original)". Those are just the ones I can remember for now. I'm only bringing her
up because she won the Chocolate chip cookie bake off that I forced her and my
mother to have in my honor. That and she tried to tell other people in my family
about the 'girl talk' story, luckily for me it didn't work. And I beat her in some
card game twice.

Oh look at those angry dark gray clouds. Its lunch time and I'm scared to leave the
office. I went to lunch with Susan and Julianne. It was weird cause Susan told me
that her friend wants to become mormon and asked what she needed to do, and Julianne
seemed like she was asking career advice, which was weird. Why would anyone trust
me with career advice? So I had to put on my 'serious discussion' cap for both of
the conversations. It was a little dusty, but I think it worked out well.

I just found out that Chochai's last day is tomorrow. Life has already been crappy,
so taking over his projects won't be a big deal.

Oh wow, the clouds are nice again, but its cold outside.

Lunch was sponsored by Daphnies.

I'm listening to BT (european techno)

Wow, its really late, I gotta go.
