Yes. Today is my last day at the International Pizza Hut Franchise Holders Association (IPHFHA). It is the goofiest acronym ever and took me forever to memorize, but now it seems so familiar to me. However, UMC, short for United Marketing Communications, is my new employer's acronym. I am excited about the change. UMC will mark my 5th job since graduating from KU in 1997. I am not scared to change jobs. I think it's actually a good thing. Anyway, I will miss some of the people at IPH and have learned a lot.
Moving on... The big KU vs. K-State game is tonight in Manhattan. Let me see if I can think of a few of the overused lines that have used to describe KU's 24 year winning streak. "Ronald Reagan was president the last time K-State beat KU in Manhattan." "K-State has never beat KU in Bramlage(sp? who cares) Coliseum." I can think of a few more, but won't bore you with them. Anyway, I sure hope the streak continues. I think K-State is the best team in the Big 12 besides KU obviously. I'm not a big Michael Beasley fan, their best player, because he shoots his mouth off a lot. I'm sure we'll do fine, although I am predicting a close game. We are the better team, but we psych ourselves out every year, whether K-State is good or bad. All streaks must come to an end, but hopefully not this year!
We just had my going away luncheon at work. Yummy Pizza Hut (of course) pizza and a DQ ice cream cake! So good! I will probably get very sleepy soon after all that food.
Solomon did so well sleeping last night. I think he's pretty much back to normal. I'm sure he'll be sick again soon though. He was sooo cute this morning. I can't wait to spend some time with him this evening.
Have a great evening and Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!

I can't believe we lost. I was so pissed, I think the worst is coming to work with a bunch of K-Staters, my only come back is..."the last time K-State won at home, I don't think you were born yet." It's shut the engineers up, so far.
I hope your new job will be a fun adventure for you!

Yeah, last night's game was awful. I went to bed early b/c it was either that or I was going to kick the tv in. Oh, well. K-State acts like they won the NCAA tournament, but for us it's just one loss. We'll recover. We need a kick in the pants so we don't get too cocky.

I agree that moving companies is good. I never did because of moving cities and then being in school, having 2 kids. But moving around is the best way to increase your salary! Hope you like the new one!
