Obama Keeps Blackberry!!!

Yea! President Obama, who I should continue to mention had not won my vote, was able to keep his Blackberry in office!!! Well, sort of... You see, they had to make special Blackberry's for him with enhanced firewalls and no GPS chips... But its still a RIM Blackberry!!!

Other news... I am one step closer to acheiving my bachelors degree in Accounting this summer. On Tuesday, my mission to Africa was reviewed by SUNY to see if it met the experience to qualify for college credits. I am happy to report that I was awarded 6 Advanced Level credits in Ugandan Culture. They are treating it as a "study abroad" course. I almost comment my whole marriage is a course in "study a broad", but I knew they wouldn't get it...so, now I need to do is pass Auditing and Investments, and I am a BS in Accounting!!!

I'm also proud to report that I have received my referrals for St. John Fisher College for the MBA Program. Now all I have to do is pass the GMAT and I should be all set.

Time to go, Brian is on my lap beating me up... making it so much fun typing and such... See ya Later!!!

Year End is kicking!

I don't know if I discussed this before, but Year End at Paychex (Dec 15-Feb 15: when people are worried about getting and fixing W2s) is insanely busy... 12 hour work days 6 days a week are not unheard of.

As the supervisor of the New Client Team, I have been especially busy. This is the first year that I've had this supervisory assignment, and I've been running. This YE, we've taken on 1,000 new clients just in the first three weeks, with nothing to say about the remaining two. In addition, because I'm still the Year End coordinator, coordinating the whole production... Its been pretty busy...

Luckily, I've been able to catch the news a bit. This Tuesday, President Obama, star of the hit shows "Hillary got Barack-ed" and "Obamanation: The Story of how to make it to the top with no visible credentials", will be sworn in as President. All joking aside, I wish Mr. Obama good luck in this job. I didn't vote for him, but he's our President and we have to support him.

Did you know the President can't have a Blackberry while in office? Its a Security Breach. Its also why I may never be President.

Well, that's my ramblings. Till next time!

Looks Good!

Well, I've been able to pull up the blog on the home computer, and it looks great! Last night, I spent some time linking my friends who had blogs up to my "blogger" account so that I could keep track of their blogs. I don't know if that will alert them to the fact that I now have a blog to, or if I have to email them myself. I guess we'll see...

In other news - my sister is pregnant. I believe she said she is 9 weeks along. I'm not terribly happy about this. She's 22, single but living with a 28 year old man (who already has a kid with another woman), and can't keep herself in school for anything. She's a receptionist with the State, so she has good benefits, but no pay.

I'm not mad she's pregnant. I'm disappointed because she's pregnant, on purpose, with a guy who doesn't want to get married and when he cuts and runs, she's left with... Not to mention, she knew he didn't want to get married before she got pregnant, but she still decided to start a family(?) With this man.

Ok, that's my older brother rants. Have a great day!

First Post

Hey- I've been wanting to start a blog for sometime, but wasn't sure what to do or where to begin... So I didn't. Then, I found out I can blog from my new best friend - my Blackberry!!!

So here I am, blog #1.

Its year end, which for Paychex means I'm married to my desk and my clients are my family, my coworkers my friends and ADP is the enemy! This isn't that bad, but its busy... Real busy...

Other news, Friday was our first Elders Quorum outting to the Rochester Americans Hockey night. I think it was a great success. A wonderful fight broke out 2 seconds into play and Rochester ending up winning 3-1.

That's it for now, gonna head home and see how this looks online. Till next time!
