i just got paid for doing nothing

i got my first paycheck today at my new job. i have been here for 2 weeks and so far i have not done a damn thing. i work with 5 other people in a satellite group. the main group is located in nyc and all the management is there. the main group is in the final stages of a project and hasn't had time to do anything with us here. there are 3 of us in this group that have started within the last month. none of us have any current tasks or deliverables. it is getting pretty boring to do nothing all day. we are told that all of this will "change very soon".

interviews have been taking place to hire a manager for our location. when that happens it will change some things for us. but it will take a while for it to make a difference. any new manager will have to come up to speed and given the directions we have been getting from nyc, i don't think that will happen very quickly.

i think i am going to like working for this company. from what i have learned by talking to the people around, they all love this place. and almost everyone of the ~100 people at this location has said that it was slow to get integrated into the nyc group.

in the meantime let me share something i learned in my "spare time". many of you have email accounts with gmail.com. i found this article on the gmail blog that shows you how to use your gmail account in ways not available from other email providers. for example, ever wished you could easily tell which email was being sent by your lover in the mess of emails you get from your blog? i know a way. i would tell my lover to send me email at dareuu+lover.at.gmail.com. anything added to the email address with a plus sign (+) is basically ignored for the delivery but it is shown in the address. so then you set up a rule to filter on that email address. the article i referenced does a better job of explaining it. check it out if you have a gmail account.

oh, well back to trying to find something to do until it is time to go home.

bonus post

i never post twice in one day but i just found this and had to share.

Top 10 Reasons To Have Sex Tonight as if we really need reasons but this is good to know anyway. and if you are reading it from work, it links to cbsnews site so no one will know why you looked at it.

more important than halloween

yes, today is halloween. happy halloween everyone.

but more important than halloween. today is the birthday of a man that changed music forever. he opened doors for performers that only dreamed of doing what he did. he changed a music genre and it will never be the same.

today is the 40th birthday of vanilla ice.

i feel the love

thanks for all the comments on my hnt post. to be honest i have wanted to play for a while but i didn't know what picture to take. and as i've said before i am still a little nervous about someone i know finding my blog. but with all of the encouragement i will try to do more.

this is where you come in. if you did come back to read this, i could use some suggestions on pics for hnt. i've admitted that i don't visit other men's blogs to see their pics so i don't know what everyone else does. and to be honest i really don't care what other men do. i'd prefer to do pics that will be something the women want to see. so, ladies tell me what you want to see and i'll try to fulfill some requests. and if you email me, i might even send you a personal pic if i can find time to take them.

btw, those are one of my favorite pair of underwear. they have lots of lycra so they stay in place. women complain about their undies bunching in their ass. well, guys that wear boxers or boxer briefs have issues with them bunching up in the crotch. the ones i'm wearing in the pic don't do that. want some for your guys? i get them at walmart and they come in multiple colors. but the white ones are a little bit see through. not sure if you could tell in the pic but in person, you can actually see through them.

and now for a little shameless self promotion: i wasn't fully erect in that pic. :)

Promoting a good cause

i know that this sounds like a joke but i am being completely serious. having lost a couple of family members to breast cancer, i feel that this is a good cause to promote. those of you that participate in hnt can put your photos to good use. it is the 6th annual boobiethon. i encourage you to participate, promote or donate.
