Tech

  • Microsoft Outlook – work email
  • Word 2007 and Excel 2007 – Pivot Tables, Filters, keyboard shortcuts
  • Mousing left-handed (Logitech VX Nano)
  • Old school Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard
  • Utilizing 4-port and 7-port USB hubs attached to a Kensington notebook stand.
  • Cavalry 500gb External HDD and 80gb external
  • Sennheiser headphones for work laptop and ipod Touch: HD-280 pro and PX-100

Non-Tech

  • Yelping every business from restaurants to Optometrists and Dentists.
  • Eating out everyday (Korean, Cuban, Indian, Greek, Italian, and Japanese).  I’m tired of eating and I love food.
  • Getting fat from not exercising.
  • Caring less about making an appearance and getting over missing out on things quicker.
  • Anti-materialism.  But I end up buying shit — saying to myself, “Maybe it will make me happy,” even though I know it won’t.  I know it doesn’t make any sense!)
  • Work from home, SVO, SFO, client site, and anywhere else that is convenient…like Netflix!
  • Wearing my dad’s jewelry and feeling a noticeable difference.  Used to never work.
  • Wearing business suits, collared dress shirts, knee-highs, and flats or high heels.
  • I’m plain.  Sunblock, MAC studio fix, and chapstick.  No eye-shadows or eyeliner.
  • I take off my sports watch every morning and put it back on every night.  :(
  • I take time to watch TiVo’d episodes of Prison Break, Smallville, Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, The Office, Heroes, and soon-to-be other shows added.
  • I bring my Sigg mug to work and drink Jasmine Green Tea everyday.
  • I eat bananas, peanuts, peaches, plums, and cliff bars for snacking.
  • Listen to classical and spanish music when I’m driving.
  • Working in a flat hierarchical structure. “Manage your manager.”

…and lastly, I complain so much I’m irritating to myself.  -_-
