Life Update

I'm feeling the pressure lately to post, so here I am once again. I'll just give you a few updates on my life as of late.

Taco Thursday

Thursdays have easily become the greatest day of the week. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is on, I don't have class, Tim's is open to anyone older than 18, and there's Taco Thursday, FE's newest tradition.

Every Thursday anyone in the FE office (and JL over at Flyer Spirit) get mass amounts of Taco Bell. The tradition started during our roadtrip to Georgetown earlier this year, and has become the greatest thing FE has done in the past 20 years (and probably the worst thing I've done to my body in the past 20 years). Every week we try to break the total amount of TB ordered, as well as per capita (person). Right now the total record is set at 36 or 37 dollars and the per capita record is roughly $6.50 per person.

Gross.

Paranormal Activity

I saw this movie on Tuesday and it was the worst decision of my life. I have yet to fall asleep being too afraid a demon will haunt me. I've taken a vow not to record myself while sleeping, I don't want to know what happens while I'm out.

Ginger Babies

This picture kills me.

Bad Wheelchair Ramps

During my trip to DC, we walked past a building that had a wheelchair ramp leading up to the main entrance. It was nice and all to see the place welcoming to the disabled; however, the ramp was at a 45 degree angle aimed directly at a busy intersection. I wish I would have taken a picture of it to show its ridiculousness. Luckily there are some pics online to give you an idea of what it looked like.

Anyone who would ride a wheelchair down it would have experienced instant death by rolling straight into the street. Awesome.

FE Management Retreat

Yesterday was the FE Management retreat. It is a time to build camaraderie among managers of the different divisions as well as provide a chance to get away from the stresses of FE and UD (It's also the perfect way to get behind on homework). With all the activities we did throughout the day/night, I learned that the one thing that brings people together more than anything else is...

Mickey Mouse hands

Can I be honest with you for one second? These hands may have been the best investment of my young life. Yes, a car was pretty important, and my college education is somewhat of a big deal, but nothing has provided me with more entertainment value than the simple pair of enlarged gloves. Just one of the many reasons why Disney World is the greatest place on Earth.

They were first brought out during FE story time (when all the managers learn about the history of FE), and were worn by just about every manager in the company afterwards. Seeing everyone with a smile on their face when they put on the gloves almost brought a tear to my eye. Although I don't know exactly how much credit can be given to the gloves for the overall success of the retreat, I do know one thing...

They need to be cleaned. Badly.
