Bowflex: Get the perfect body and an epic ego.

Bowflex commercial. The guy is going on and on about how Bowflex has changed his life. As his ego grows ever larger, he says haughtily, “I gave all my fat clothes to my fat friends.”

I highly doubt they were still your friends after that one, buddy. They’re probably plotting against you as you speak. And, thanks to your plural use of the word “friend”, we’re all aware of the fact that they outnumber you.

Payback’s a bitch.

I never said I wasn’t going to end up jaded.

Enough said.

So this is where they got the iPhone ring tones.

Winding down.

I’ll be on a layover in Vegas in 24 hours. My flight leaves San Jose around 10:30p.

I’m drinking expensive dessert wine and eating tootsie rolls.

We have to have everything packed tomorrow before we leave. Check-out is at 11a and we’ll already have been in class for 2 hours by then. I haven’t started packing. Annie and I combined our laundry and she took care of it (thank you!). I bought a bunch of food that I won’t end up eating. I did make pesto pasta tossed with olive oil, and fresh mozzarella and marinated sun-dried tomatoes for dinner. I have leftovers, but I’m not entirely sure why I’ve kept them. They won’t get eaten.

I really should pack.

Hooray!

So.. The suites called to let us know at 3pm-ish that we had water again. That was met with a raucous applause.

How to begin… Today was amazing. We all met this morning at 1 Infinite Loop for our orientation. The building is gorgeous - mostly windows looking out onto the landscaped entrance to the campus in the front and a gorgeous expanse of courtyard behind.

Normally we go through introductions to our coordinators, discuss the way things will go, etcetera. However, the annual keynote was taking place on the day we arrived. So, instead the orientation was seriously truncated and we proceeded to watch the keynote on a live internal feed! It was great. There were a number of people in the room who were from around campus obviously, corporate employees. A few of them had Leopard on portables with them. We watched them go through the same things as were covered in the keynote. It was certainly a fantastic way to watch the keynote.

During that time we were pulled in groups to get our badge photos taken. FYI.. If it’s a blue screen, don’t wear blue or it wipes out the colour when it eliminates the background. : ) My scarf looks rather interesting. Evidently we get them tomorrow.

After the keynote, we headed over to the building where we would be training for the remainder of our stay. Evidently it’s pretty new. They previously trained at a building down the road, but moved to the new one relatively recently. The front room had a mock-up of separate Studio, Genius and iPod bars - something only the largest stores actually have.

We went over what is going to be on the test so we’re not totally in the dark for tomorrow. We’re going to get together tonight to study. That’ll be nice.

We went to In-n-Out Burger for dinner! I’ve been hearing about this place for years. Everything is fresh, fresh veggies, meat etc etc… So not only is it tastier, it’s better for you too. And oh man…. It was gooooooood. We will definitely be heading out there again. And the lady gave us stickers. Stickers rock.

With that, I need to head out for study group. I’m tired as hell, but I figure it’s better to cover the last minute stuff than to crash and miss some really obvious things.
