A Team Player
Things are, as always, very stressfull and hecktic at work. Software engineering on a large scale project with a large team is always a challenge. There are so many personalities, so many political chest beating matches, etc. I sometime wonder if I'm developing a software product or stuck in 3rd grade recess.
I think the biggest thing to ease the frustrations is to have a light-hearted team with a great sense of humor. Next to a fifth of vodka or a giant blunt of Acapulco Gold, laughing is one of the best stress-neutralizers.
In addition, I also believe the biggest thing to upset a team is a parasitic individual. All it takes is one person with a bad attitude or that is overally anal to suck the fun and productivity out of a team. It first starts with the person interacting with one team member...then out of frustration...gets pushed to the next team member..and the next thing you know, the person has basically pissed the whole team off and know respects them. Doh.
So, lesson learned....don't be that guy.

Northern Exporsure
This Thanksgiving, Saif's buddy Andrew visisted him from Jaskson, Mississippi, and he recieved an real education of the real meaning of the phrase 'Northern Exposure'. Saif and Andrew are both orginially from Louisiana. During that holiday weekend, it averaged ~22 degrees and snowed everyday. While teasing Andrew, he remarked that the most snow he'd ever seen, personally, was maybe an inch but melted in a day. Ha! By Saturday, we had a total snow acculmulation of 9 inches.
In spirit of showing our southern friend a good time in 'the North', we invited him and a bunch of others to go sledding at a winter park. He was all about it. We had to proved both Andrew and Saif:
We made it to the sled area and proceed to spend the next 2 hours sledding (they had a tow rope). These guys had a blast and did all the things a couple of 9 yr olds would do. We then headed for some hot cocoa at the park's ski lodge. From our seat in the lodge, we had a prime view of the snowboarding hill. The wanted to try it but they were too afraid. Not because they thought they'd hurt themselves, but they's get schooled by a bunch of punk teenagers. Dorks.

Well, they had this story about some freak ladies who so eager to be the first in line at Circuit City, that they parked their RV about 35ft. from the doors....and placed 2 lawn chair 'next' to the door. Black Friday....yeah

iTunes - The crack of the middle class
My dear lord. iTunes just makes it too flippin' easy to buy music. And their suggestive selling (Amazon-style) makes it that much easier to buy random stuff. Today's purchases:
- Gold Digger - Kanye West
- My Humps - Black Eyed Peas
- Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffet
- How We Do - The Game
- Boomerang - Cirrus
- The Wall Album - Pink Floyd
So, Saif, I believe you now when you say your're 'afraid' to download iTunes. It is scary our addicting it can be. With it now have TV Show as well....it's moving from simple cocaine to freebasing crack.
I'm a little Jack Johnson'd out...so...I'm trying find more ambient/electronica stuff as its good workout and work-in-the-zone music. If anyone has any suggestions, please leave so in the comments section.

Thursday Babble
It can be safely said that the work week following the christmas/new years week long holiday is, by far, the longest week ever. Damn, and today is only Thursday.
New episodes of Lost and Alias were on last night. Both of them are very good shows but there are a couple of patterns forming with how the stories develop. For example, on Lost the smoking hot, athletic brunette (her name escapes me) made an hour long episode fuss over a briefcase. Then, the plot taunts us this briefcase until it becomes the center of attention for all the main characters. Finally, after a lot of chasing, lying, and digging up a corpse, they finally opened the damn thing. And what was so special inside......a god damn miniature airplane.
"What is it?" asked the doctor dude.
She replied, "It's from the man I loved....from the man I killed"
How stupid is that?! So the pattern here is that they teased us with these 'seemingly' random things that they want you to believe are special...and the die-hard watchers convince themselves..."Watch, that minature Airplane is gonna turn out to be a really big deal". But 4 espiodes later, the screemplay writers are hoping you forgot all about that useless miniature airplane.
AHHHHHHHHH!
