I was going to do this as a list. Y'know top 10 reasons I think I'm losing my soul. But I wanted to break away from the list format and give a little exposition. Well here it is... I think I may be losing my soul for the following reasons. I now travel for business. I can give you travel tips. I can tell you a good place to get a steak if you ever find yourself in downtown St. Louis. I can't tell you where to find a cool local hangout, but if you ever want to take a trip to the top of the St. Louis arch, I'm your man. I think I might be losing my soul because on return from my last business trip I had an Action Items List. I went to a software conference for Christ's sake...who among you can claim that one. I think I might be losing my soul because I, on a regular basis, use the term "revenue streams". I have on two occasions this year signed a document entitled "Individual Performance Objectives". I think I may be losing my soul because on Nov. 1st. I have to attend a Microsoft Outlook Class (and it's the advance class). I think I may be losing my soul because I completely lose all control of my mind and any usefulness after 10pm on a weekday. I don't really read anymore, because any time I try to read, I start to think about work.
Thats enough. I didn't used to have to take take my job so seriously. I have a boss that really buys into this shit and frankly I'm getting raises like there is no tommorow, but I don't know ...is it worth feeling like a douchebag a lot of the time? Any suggestions?

Get that bottle of gin back out. Or, a better option is a serious hobby. Not your BS video games that come and go. Once I leave school I don't think about it constantly because I think about soccer and/or wine. Actually, I obsess over soccer and think about wine. Then you can forget about Action Lists and Outlook contacts and worry about if Liverpool is going to pick up another defender in the january transfer window because Sami Hyppia is a complete donkey.
I have always wanted to go to a software conference. Relax you'll be fine.
There was this Nerdy chick there who worked for the software people. She had a degree in accounting. We asked her how she got into software and she said "too many video games" I think I could have hooked you up Randy.
was she hot?
nerdy chick + degree in accounting + "too many video games" could not possibly be the formula for hot.
Are you joking? all that's missing from that equation is good looking. It's like a chick that drives a classic mustang. She may not even be that hot but the MUSTANG makes her hot. See Morgan Webb. Randy knows what I'm sayin'
how unhot was she?
