New Job = Blackberry
Edited on Wed Sep-05-07 11:42 PM by Jack_Dawson
In other words, I can't expense my own phone. I'm now given a company Blackberry and a Belt Clip. I really don't want to be Blackberry Belt Clip Guy. But I guess I have no choice.

Is this the beginning of the end? :scared:

On edit: I've never used a Blackberry. I think it's cool how you can scroll around the menu. But it's clunky and not pocket-fitting like my RAZR. BTW, RAZRs are crap. At least 2nd generation ones. That is all.

:beer:

1. Thank God it isn't waterproof
Pool time is now your only get away.

:hi:

Saw your post about the 50 yard underwater swim. Very impressive. I haven't tried that in a while. I did swim a mid workout 5:45 for a 400 IM about 2 weeks ago. Am I stupid or what?

2. Dude you were hauling ass!
I swam a 500 free once in high school when I was underdeveloped. My first time: 8:03. Keep in mind that's 500 yards freestyle. And that was in a MEET. 400 IM (MID-WORKOUT!!!) 5:45 - very impressive Sir. :toast:

3. Well...
It was my targeted swim of the day. Warm up, some ramp up, some shakedown from warm up, haha. Lots of rest. Swim for time. Approximately 1:20, 1:30, 1:35, 1:20. Then float on my back and listen to my ribs nearly cracking for like 90 seconds or so before I could even think of moving.

Just didn't want you thing I did it mid-set, mid -workout.

BTW (enough about me) what is the new job? Can you say? Do you think you are gonna dig it? (I always think you are in academia , I think, b/c you once said you trained at a U Cal pool...)

Best of luck....

:hi:

4. Don't wanna jinx
but let's say it's downtown, killer view, pay raise and ridiculously better than my old job. If I'm still there after a year, I'll tell you. :-)

Yes, still train at UCSD. You?

:hi:
