Genius Genius Genius
October 20th, 2008 . by ErinGreat News Everybody! I am officially homeless no more!!! YAY!!!
It was a crazy weekend! One of my Best friends (Mel) from High School came into town on Friday and it was really great to see her. She’s been working as a flight attendant for Southwest Airlines for the last 2 years or so and her last day is the 31st of this month. There are a lot of things I’m going to miss like hanging out and going to dinner, the view of unwashed miscreants urinating on the walls of the gas station next door. Oh what a 6 floor view from a hotel will give you.
The only unfortunate part about Mel quitting Southwest is now I have 2 weeks to use up 4 plane tickets. Where would I go? What shall I do? Maybe I’ll go home but then where? I have to think of where my other 3 destinations will be… If only Hawaii were an option.
Meanwhile as I imagine myself in exotic destinations like Iowa and Kansas I am brought back down to earth by the fact that I’m supposed to be working. Luckily the office is pretty calm today which means 1 thing! I get to play with this new ‘genius’ feature on my iTunes. At first I was a little leery. How can a computer program feature exactly what I want to hear? The thing I fear most when I pull up the ‘party shuffle’ mode on my iTunes is that it is going to play the crappy songs that I haven’t gotten around to deleting off of my computer. The genius so far hasn’t disappointed me one bit. All it does is takes the information about the song and puts other ‘like’ songs together. So far I’m a fan. A very big fan!
So as I sit listening to the awesome playlist that the ‘Genuis’ has set up for me, I will continue folding, stuffing and sealing mailers while basking in the comfort that I am no longer a transient, and think of the far off places that I’ll get to see really soon.
Here’s to not being homeless anymore!! Does that mean you are no longer living out of a cardboard box? hahahahahaha!! The “genius” thing IS awesome!! I LOVE IT!!
I just started using the Genius thing too - so far it seems pretty cool. It does remind me that I need to clean up my iTunes play list though.
And yay for not being homeless! And also free tickets. I’m adding you to my blog roll, by the way.
So where are you no longer homeless at?
I don’t listen to iTunes. Yes, I am lame.
so glad I don’t have to worry about you anymore!!
I always thought of you when i would pass the beggers on the freeway onway ramp!
Hahahaha. You guys are hil-a-rious! I’m still in Provo…restoring the balance and all. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it.
I add to the question- where are you living? Now your car can air out and you have your own bathroom!
Tickets huh? Too bad Southwest doesn’t fly to the UK!
Go somewhere cool! I don’t know where either because if I had your option I’d just go home to utah or something.
and I’m glad you are not homeless anymore.
southwest flies to vegas, right?!?
