  • GrandCentral Invites

    I’ve got 8 no invites left for GrandCentral. If you haven’t heard about GrandCentral… they were recently bought by Google. The idea behind GC is you have one central phone number that you route all of your calls through. GC logs those calls, takes voicemail messages, and more… Your central number can be forwarded to any of your current phone numbers.

    I’ve only been playing around with it for a few minutes, but it seems promising. My new GrandCentral # is (706) 955-GAME (4263).

    If you’re interested in an invite, leave a comment and I’ll send one your way! Thanks to everyone who asked for an invitation! You’ll get 10 invites with your new Beta account, so make sure you share the love with some of your friends and family!

  • Year Three

    It’s not a huge deal, but I like to keep track of this sort of stuff… Yesterday marked my three-year anniversary at PowerServe. Since graduating high school in 1996, I’ve worked ten different jobs. I spent, on average, about 17.7 months at each job. Early on, many of the jobs I had only lasted around four to six months, and for a while I worked more than one job…

    I worked as a graphic designer for Old Dominion University’s Mace & Crown for 6 months. I worked as a 3rd shift stocker at Food Lion for 4 months. (Working from 11pm until 7am really sucked!) I took elementary and middle school pictures for Lifetouch for 6 months. I worked as a data entry clerk for Norrell Staffing for a year. I was the Managing Editor/Webmaster for Quail Unlimited for 2 years 6 months. During the time I was working, for QU I also worked part-time for Blockbuster Video for a year and a half to feed my video addiction… I also worked part-time as a webmaster for the Department of Political Science at Augusta State University for a year and a half. From there, I went on to Double-Dot.com for 2 years 11 months. Spent a year at The Alison Group, and then by sheer chance landed a job at PowerServe, where I’ve been for 3 years and counting…

    It doesn’t seem like much, but it’s been a heck of a journey for me so far. I’m grateful for the time I’ve had here so far and look forward to growing even more with the company. I couldn’t have wished for a better place to end up.

  • Giant Frickin Robots pwns the Box Office

    Giant Frickin Robots pwns the Box Office. “Transformers debuted with an estimated $67.6 million in ticket sales to top the box-office rankings for the three days of the July 6 weekend, the Associated Press reported. Added to grosses since the movie opened with preview screenings on the night of July 2, that raised the giant-robot movie’s total take to $152.5 million.”

    If you haven’t seen Transformers yet, what the heck are you waiting for?
