insomnia til 3am, but somehow got up at 730.

only 3 hours of meetings today.

Yuen and I went to lunch and discussed ideas so we wouldn't have to work in IT any longer. talked about setting up a cafe express account to sell our ideas; or t-shirts and panties and coffee cups and such.. It's probably a good idea, but I would rather build my own shit. I mean not that I'll build a t-shirt... I don't know the first thing about spinning cotton and am only semi-marginal with a needle and thread. But rather I've made stencils. And stencils is where it's at.

I feel under a lot of pressure to make this shit happen or at least start something. I figure i only have 2 to 3 years at most left at my company. Every indication on all of the meetings I sit in every week tell me that we (in our Chicago office) are expendable.

But what employees at large corporations aren't expendable, eh?

I tell ya, corporate america isn't my bag...

cubicles + beaucracy + paperwork + endless meetings + projects + milestones + deadlines + a bi-weekly paycheck = ????

Where was I?

Oh yea, as we where walking out of the restaraunt, I suddenly felt a wave of dizzyness come about and I felt like I was going to pass out.

Not sure if it was as a result of the humidity, the couple of hours of sleep or the cabin fever I've been experiencing of late (or maybe all of the above).

After a bit, the dizzyness passed, had a smoke and headed back to work for another hour meeting with my boss.

Tonight I boiled up a package of raw shrimp and taters; it totally stunk up my apartment. Ya forget that humidity in the air causes smells to linger in the air longer...

Tomorrow? Not sure.. maybe get my kayak, do some laundery or start on my projects and begin the first steps out of Corporate America.

Viva Telemundo!!!
