Public Service Announcement Day:
Alright, first and foremost, today is Mail Boxes Etc./The UPS Store/"that place where Kyle, Ting, Ian, Emily, and I work"'s last day with FexEx, how sad. Oh well, that's everyone's loss. Because of our conversion into The UPS Store FedEx has pulled out of our store. This is bad for FedEx because it's less business for them. It's bad for us because FedEx has a higher tech and service level which made my job so much easier. For those who don't know, the transformation is because UPS bought out Mail Boxes Etc. headquarters 2 years ago (and people think that Blizzard takes its sweet time making major decisions) and has, until now, been "studying the market." Well, anyways, our shipping rates are now beneath the carpet so if you plan to do shipping, today is a golden day for you. On the other hand our copy prices for less than 25 copies are now competitive with the library (that's a bad thing, we used to be cheaper), just a warning.
Secondly, apparently 99x is having something called Music Fest 2003 at Northview. From the looks of things it'll be only 1 real band and then a bunch of pulled together garage bands. Admission is $10/$15 for students and adults respectively. If you care or are curious there's a big link at the top of Northview's page. So, with this in mind, I'd like someone to do some black ops research for me and find out who is running the student council that's coming up with all these ideas over there at our sister school.
Thirdly, and this is more or less a person directed announcement. I've decided that my manager and co-worker today, is perhaps the most convincing anti-liberal ex-military IT-specialist public speaker I've dealt with in a long while. Jeff, you might enjoy talking with him about current events, etc., cause he's got very strong viewpoints and could likely give you some very powerful ammuntion to take to your college political arguments that you're going to have, cause we all see that coming.
Forth, and if this suprises anyone they ought to be ashamed. I'm officially going to Tech. Oxford just can't do it for me. While I prefer the wider assortment of languages and greatly reduced class sizes, Tech has the more desired and more varied fields of study. Although I might be more of a liberal arts person, a two-year college isn't going to satisfy that. Since I don't plan on Law or Medicine then there's no reason to take Oxford into Emory so I'm opting for Tech (and to think that I'm actually regretting not applying to GSU and UGA, who would have expected that?) yay. Now to see about rooming :).
Why is it that I can never get an Email Service that actually allows me to send emails? Anyone have any suggestions? Squirrelmail give me Syntax (of all things) errors when I try to send anything, Hotmail flat out refuses, and AttBi's email service will only send something if I tell it to send ten times.
And I must say, damn Jiaz has some fast turnaround with posts and counter posts.
