weddings are cool, but first thing's first

so the wedding was pretty sweet, and i'm sure i'll go off on some of the better and mostly the worst parts about it, but when you get invited to an afterwork event featuring yourself, a couple designers, a guy in international sales competing head to head with the CEO, CFO, COO, and Director of Operations, or even the potential thereof, this mos def takes priority.

in addition to the "college, job, marriage, kids" speech, my mom was also famous for the "if you want to succeed in business outside the office, you need to be able to hold your own in bridge, be a decent golfer, and an even better tennis player." apparently mom didn't know about the upper echelon's affinity for the great game of bowling.

bowling! honestly....

really, the average age of my team is 25, and the average age of their team is 45. ignoring the fact that the average salary of my team is $35,000 and their average is $1,271,070 plus another $1,828,000 in annual bonus or stock options, i wouldn't feel bad about beating them. and i didnt make that number up. it's posted online at Forbes.com. i just figured out that it would take about 150 years for me to make what our CEO made last year. that's just crazy.

a couple of these guys bowl just under 200, so they won't be pushovers. besides, they'll probably be practicing at the bowling alley they have in their basement next to their heliport and their own Starbucks.

in all seriosity, i don't think i'll ever have a more opportune time to be able to pick the collective brain of those who currently sit where i aim to be. totally amazingly absoeffinlutely sweet....
