Mon, 18 Apr 2005 00:19:41 GMT

The Word of the Day for April 17, 2005 is: gratuity Sigh...Used the Entertainment Guide at a resturant on the beach. Went with some friends and the coupon is for buy one get one for free. Well I just ordered my "free" to go with me. The waiter was some punk looking guy who didn't seem to careless about anything. I was finised with my water by the time he had finished taking our orders...which was the same visit to the table when he droped off the water. He came back by for other tables 3 times and never gave me anymore water. I finally get up and get the pitcher of water to refill my drink. I had to do this another 3 times throughout the course of the meal. Now the food was pretty good in comparison to the service. The service did not improve one bit and I even left the table without having a drink for aprox 12 minutes. Horrible service. The check comes to the table and it includes a 15% gratuity...I ask him if this is required since I had to get my own drink 3 times, and in the end I never got a final drink. He said that is "automatically" is put on when you use the coupon. I then procede to automatically only leave him the exact amount that the check would of been minus the gratuity. What a night.

March 2 - Keynote

Wed, 02 Mar 2005 15:12:27 GMT

The Word of the Day for March 2, 2005 is: Keynote

The presentation last night went fairly well. We used my Mac and Keynote 2 instead of M$ PowerPoint. What an awesome presentation program. The transitions alone make it visually stunning.

One thing I wanted to post about, but I'm not sure that I did was at the beginning of this class...I was the last to be picked for a team, and when the teacher was trying to "pimp me out" no one even wanted me at all. He eventually drew a number on the board, and had the teams guess it. This team of a husband, wife, and one other member choose closest, however they said, "They work best in groups of 3." I kind of was hinting I wanted to be in the group with the 2 Jason's. They weren't too receptive to that idea.

I was trying to say that, "If I was in the group they wouldn't have to any work, as that I tend to be a perfectionist and end up doing most of the work anyway." This still didn't get me a group. Eventually Jason's team decided to add me to their group. The teacher pulled us aside during the break and wanted to make sure there wasn't going to be any problems. He wanted weekly reports. The two Jason's expressed they thought there might be conflict with 3 "Type A" personalities in the team.

After the 5 weeks of class...the Jasons and I got along GREAT...the problem was another team member that joined later on. The part that really made me fell good after all of the rejection and all at the beginning, was last night....SEPERATETLY...both Jason's came up to me and apologized for thinking there would be turmoil in the team and thanked me for being in their team, and that they really enjoyed having me in the team. I was shocked and very flattered by them doing this. This REALLY meant a lot to me. Thank you guys for being such great team mates.
