National Champions!

Congratulations to Eric and his Quiz Bowl team. They are the Quiz Bowl National Champions. They competed in Portland, Oregon at the AAEA, WAEA, and CAES joint annual meeting. He went with the Agricultural Economics Department at Texas A&M University. It kinda feels like being married to the quarterback. In a geeky sort of way.

The New Vibe

We just bought our first NEW car. It is a 2007 Pontiac Vibe. It is the same thing as a Toyota Matrix. We wanted something that drove like a car, but had the storage of a SUV. So far, we love it. We traded in Eric's Ford Focus and kept my Civic. Here is a picture I pulled off of the internet of a Vibe. Ours is black just like this one.

One Month!

Wednesday was my one month anniversary at Scott and White. It was a crazy month, but I learned a lot. I really like what I do and who I work with. This is not my final destination, of course, but it is a great starting point. So far, here is what I have learned from working at Scott and White for a month.

• It takes about 10 different programs to get one task done.
• The real world waste a lot of paper
• I don't know how to transfer people on the phone, even if I do exactly what my supervisor showed me
• Even important computer people don't always know why a computer is broken
• You must dial the 979 area code to get to Brenham
• The ladies I work with have a bunch of crazy stories.

We will have to see what I learn in the next month...
