tree killers
after 6.5 days of working with kpmg, i am convinced that my employer is the sole reason for the destruction of today's forests.

so much paper is wasted, it's ridiculous. if i had 1 penny for each piece of paper that i have trashed or shredded this past week..

..well, i'd have a lot of pennies.

apparently the centurytel building where i work at is mistaken for gregory gymnasium quite frequently. every day there are dozens of people in track shoes power-walking around the perimeter. i used to humor myself watching them strut their stuff lap after lap, but since i sprained my knee on saturday, it's kinda sad thinking that they could all probably beat me in a race right now.

also on saturday, i got a kitten. i will be receiving a digicam shortly, so look for a short bio somewhere in the upcoming posts.

case of the mooondays
at 9am today, i was back in the centurytel audit room in monroe, louisiana.

but there was a problem. some guy, we'll call him chuck, on the engagement team had a huge computer problem, and he was planning to drive back to the shreveport office, an hour and a half away, to give the computer to the tech guy there to fix it.

oh yeah, the problem? the manager didn't want chuck to waste a half a day to and fro to fix the computer. the solution?

my senior manager walks in the room. "jonathan, how would you like to see shreveport?"

i start to chuckle. he's still looking at me.

"oh..seriously?"

so today i saw shreveport.
