Tidbits from KL
(Arrested Development - Mr. Wendal)

This week's theme is GHETTO and I AM OLD. You know what I mean? Holla at yo boy! I've always wanted to say that. I've also wanted to spill a 40 for all the boys I've lost in the hood. To date that number would be zero. Hurry up and die already fools! Sorry, that got dark. I got nothin but mad loves for my peeps!

So I'm in the hood this week. Yup, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Managing my first project. Exciting times I tell you. The only difference I've noticed so far is that I get to boss more people around than I normally do. High five for being bossy. *smack* For realz tho, it's nice to be able to delegate work instead of having work delegated to you. Though I will tell you this, there is legitimately a lot of things to do as a PM. There's a lot more responsibility involved in managing a project than I would've given any PM credit for in the past. It's funny how you actually appreciate what another human being goes through when you walk a mile in their shoes. You so crazy ninja!

Ran into some body/hygiene issues today...

1) I noticed some wrinkles that weren't there before on my forehead this morning. What the hell?? Damn you old age! So I bought a big quicksilver sun hat at lunch to hide it. Problem solved.

2) I also noticed one long nose hair growing out of my right nostril. Unfortunately I left my nose hair trimmers at home and could only find a pair of tweezers in my travel pack. I had to make the tough decision between waiting til I could find a safe pair of scissors or go through the excruciating pain of plucking the offending hair out. Cuz seriously, there's nothing more distracting than when you're talking to someone and their nose hair is waving at you.

3) While plucking the long nose hair out, I noticed a white nose hair. What the hell! Damn you old father time!! I didn't pluck this one out. I'm still waiting to get over the pain of the first pluck. Plus this one isn't waving at anyone.

So about to get ready to go have some dinner with the project team and then we're headed to the sky lounge to have some drinks and get krunked. It's been a long week and I think I deserve it.

Another week before I head back to TO. Can't wait. I miss you crazy cats.

Dude... that was just TMI on the nose hair part...
Maybe instead of plucking the white one, you can dye it back to black :)
