“Each day, Gap Outlet lose $3,298 a day due to data error. Thats 3,298 Itunes songs! What can you do to combat data errors?  Even simple mistakes can lose a lot of money.  2+2=3?  You can do the following to be more accurate with money:”

Wait.. iTunes songs are .99 and not $1.  3,298 iTunes songs is actually $3265.  Thats a difference of about $30. Yes folks,  I found an error in the data integrity info sheet.  Apparently 2+2 doesn’t equal 3, but 99 equals 100.

It’s the small successes that make me love retail.

Today, I’m grateful for:

1.  The five minutes of the Tony Awards that WNEM didn’t pre-empt.

2.  Extended shifts.

3.  The yard sale Enterprise-D Model Kit, even if it is missing a few pieces.

4.  Seeing old friends in unexpected places.

5.  Revamping my wardrobe.

3. Mutual breakups

4. 4am phone calls

5. A world of opportunities just waiting for me

McCain is an idiot.

John McCain says getting troops out of Iraq “not too important.”

Thoughts?

Letdown.

I must be the only comic fan reading Secret Invasion that didn’t realize they were completely ripping off Battlestar Galactica. It’s so incredibly blatant. It seemed like a cool plot, and it is…people have been watching it for the last 3 years. Ah well.

Fabulous!

High School Musical “senior” Ashley Tisdale this week was targeted by a sophomoric prank, as an online site or two spread a rumor that the starlet had been diagnosed as HIV-positive. “The story is completely untrue,” says Tisdale’s rep, Scott Appel.

The false tale claimed that Tisdale contracted HIV through her recent rhinoplasty procedure, and even was “backed up” by a bogus statement from Cedars-Sinai saying, “Ashley and her family are trying to come to terms with this horrible development. They only ask that you pray for Ashley’s health and to please respect their privacy.” A spokesperson for the medical center denies issuing any such statement. — Matt Mitovich

The Stanley Cup is possibly the coolest sports trophy of all time. It’s essentially a giant Crunk Cup. And I love that.

For your ocular enjoyment, here’s Lindsay with the Stanley Cup:

Bones it, Michelle!

Tee’d Off

Today, me and the Gap gang volunteered at a Golf Tournament benefiting the Whaley Children’s Center. It was a nice day and fortunately the rain held out.  I spent most of the day cooking hotdogs on the grill and keeping drink coolers filled.  We also ate too many hotdogs and had too much Coldstone (if that’s possible..).  Eventually, we got bored and ended up having a photo duel.  Here are the results.

It was a great time with my awesome Gap buddies and the event raised a TON of money for the Center.  Awesome.

P.S., I discovered that Hilary Crichton’s s brother is one of my co-workers. Weird.
