i'd like to share with my readers a little bit about my new job. i really like it so far, so don't misinterpret what may come off as disdain.

for the past few weeks, i've been working on compiling information on zip codes. yes, zip codes. zip codes in orlando, austin, houston, virginia, maryland, st. louis, dallas, tucson, odessa, santa fe, sarasota, naples...you get my point.

luckily for me, today was supposed to be a big presentation, that would likely end my zip code research.

unfortunately for me, the meeting was cancelled and we found out that there are 15 more areas that need to be analyzed. so that's been my ENTIRE day. minus a lunch break for salad+soup+breadsticks at olive garden. $5.25, can't beat it.

needless to say, my brain cannot function anything other than zip codes right now, and it's really scaring me. i went online to kill a few minutes and give myself a break, and found myself looking up zip code maps to find out just how far some zips are from others. it's like i can't stop.

and the good news is that i'll be working on it all day tomorrow too. the meeting isn't for another 5 days. i might go insane.

but in case you ever wondered, Washington DC and surrounding areas are made up of approximately 2,000 zip codes. For reference, st. louis has a little over 200. what do they need all those zips for? it must be like one building is it's own zip code up there.

man - this post sucks.

AI is on tonight...at least i can look forward to that.
