out in cleveland

so i had a mellow day today in cleveland. Snowed like crazy all day and all night. Miserable outside. Went out late with Joe who is here from SF for training with Phillips' medical devision. Drove out to pick him up in MISERABLE driving conditions, and almost got blown off the road a couple times. Picked joe up, drove all over beachwood looking for a bar. then we spent even longer driving around looking for an OPEN bar. finally found some pub and had a couple drinks talking about how weird it is to have "big boy" jobs now. His gig with Phillips sounds pretty rad. He's doing regional engineer stuff for Xray equipment. paid vehicle, expenses, etc. Makes me kinda jealous that he's more regional to the Bay than national like me. Sheesh, don't even have the job yet and i'm already complaining. go me

Joe convinced me i need some sort of palm device. Talking with mary it seems like i may want one of those pda/phone things i've always despised, but finally have a use/need for. joe's like CE device was pretty sweet. And i think i need a new laptop bag. Joe's "record" bag will hold his xbox, laptop, and all the trimmings for both. i imagine it's heavy as hell, but that's the kinda bag i want.

Now off to sleep
