Sometimes You Just Need A Cookie

Memorabilia and My Career

So i have been a little busy at work this week. Yes i do actually do work. I am currently working on transferring a hard copy booklet into an electronic copy. It's fun, let me tell you. Well in between working on it i usually take little breaks and slack off, and usually post a blog entry, but with all the typing im doing, i just can't cuz then i would need a break from typing from my break from typing! Heh, anyways, so instead i have started to fulfill one of my goals for the summer.....No not to finish all my books that i have started, or to read all my PRSA Newspapers (which is a lie cuz i actually am looking at those), but instead...I'm spending money!! But not just throwing money away on useless crap, rather i am investing in sports memorabilia.

One of my goals this summer was to take a little money out of my check every week and spend it on getting the sports memorabilia that will really be worth something. So this week i have been perusing eBay WAY too much and got a little carried away, but i got a lot of great stuff and i was smart about it all. But my baby of the week has to go to Stan "The Man" Musial. The Hall of Famer is getting up there, (86 years old) so i really wanted to get his autograph ASAP. Luckily through his site, he sells autographed baseballs. So i bought one, and it is on its way and should arrive this week!! Hopefully, cuz i don't wanna go away and have it delivered and waiting outside. Now i just realized that and im a little worried....meh anyways, so i can cross Stan Musial off my list of summer autographs. Speaking of which, here is my tentative list for the summer (BOLD = Already completed)
1. Stan Musial - bought autograph online
2. Jim Rice - Bought an authentic autogrpahed card on eBay.
3. Harmon Killebrew - Attempting to get his autograph on eBay/Online
4. Bob Gibson - Attempting to get his autograph on eBay/Online
5. Rod Carew - Bought a game used jersey/Autographed card on eBay
6. Yogi Berra - Will buy autograph from his personal site
7. Al Kaline - Wrote a letter to get an autogrpahed card
8. Jim Lonborg - Thinking of going to his dentist office in Hanover
9. Wade Boggs - Bought a Dual Autographed card on eBay featuring him and Bobby Doerr
10. Jimmie Foxx Game Used Cards - Attempting to buy on eBay
11. Ernie Banks - Attempting to buy on eBay

So there you have it, my summer wish list. In other news i took the Princeton Review Career Quiz and these are my results:

"People with green Interests like job responsibilities and occupations that involve persuasion, sales, promotions, and group or personal contact. People with green Interests enjoy activities that include: motivating, mediating, selling, influencing, consensus building, persuading, delegating authority, entertaining, and lobbying. These Interests often lead to work in marketing, advertising, training, therapy, consulting, teaching, law, and public relations."

So i guess i am in the right field, well this post is just about done, so give me some feedback, comments, or ideas for future posts if you wanna!

Keep On Rocking In The Free World!!
