1 Week

And so it has begun.  My first week back at Toyota; this time at the headquarters for NA Manufacturing.  It's a much welcomed relief from the chaotic and hectic nature of the plant I was previously at.  This week was pretty decent; I found out I'm managing a new supplier standardization working group and project.  I'll have a lot of work on my hands.  At least it'll keep the lights on.

This week starts the weekly travels to GCD in Georgetown; back to my roots.  I'll get to visit my old co-workers, and also train a whole new set of Team Members on the supplier rules/principles for the new working group.  I'm pretty excited.

"The Situation was Corrected"

So this Saturday, I travelled to Kentucky with Jason to get our apartment for this summer.  I showed him and his family around the Erlanger area along with touring apartments with them to find our "home".  We woke up at 5:00 in the morning, and started on the road at 6:10 with Mr. Saghy at the wheel.  We stopped at Bob Evans in Monroe, and proceeded to Independence, Kentucky for our first tour.  The apartment "guide" nearly gave me a heartattack when she said a "Kentucky" law was implemented that wouldn't allow me to crash on Jason's couch for the summer.  Luckily, we had other tours arranged, and proceeded to our next stop.  It's an older complex with a quiet surrounding in Florence.   It was pretty cheap too for what we're getting.  We also toured another complex that had a "Bed Bug Problem" but we quickly decided against staying there.

We then signed the contract, and started the drive back to MSU at 6:30 p.m.  We got back on campus by 11:30 (not bad driving Jason).

Whew.

Here's TEMA Headquarters in Erlanger...

weekend

This weekend started out pretty cool. The second annual kcf talent show happened and was a blast. A lot of good acts, and a lot of fun with some great people. Kcf really does have talent!
(P.S. the ice cream cake was really good too). We then proceeded to hang out at shaw, then go to peking.








Saturday rolled around, and I assumed my usual role of studier in the library. Spent my day rehashing and realizing that Macroecon was a little more involved than I had thought; I spend all my time on Accounting. -_-. Saturday night, went to ice skate with sue, jason, kirstie, danon, and grace, went to meijers with kevin, then came back and went to peking...AGAIN. then we went to mcdonalds and then to nrb. (Wow, my diet is really screwed up). came back at 3:30 this morning. LOL.






And now, I'm at the library again, restudying econ and accounting.

Pretty good. Pret..ty..go-od.

"It's a matter of principles"

I love accounting so much right now. To show how much I love it, I've created a journal entry describing my week. :).

Studying Time (+Expense) $All of Alan's Time
Alan's Fun Time Inventory (-Assets) $All of Alan's Time.

I hope to close out this expensed journal entry at the end of the accounting period.

Peace.

The Big 2-0.

I'm old.
