i worked in san francisco today, at the apple store. i had so much fun. one of the creatives at that store can keep you laughing for hours. he is so hysterical. we're all going out tomorrow so hopefully i'll be able to get some pictures. holy cow he's funny. i had so much fun all day. i don't even know what to say from there. sold my first laptop, even though i didn't know what i was doing. the store manager said, 'could you show here the laptops?" so i did, and she bought one. cool. no one seems to know that apple isn't commision based. it's not. no commision. i love that.

pixar (formerly george lucas' animation company, then purchased by steve jobs) who created Toy Story, A Bug's Life and Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, is being sold to disney. sale should be final mid summer. you can read all about it on pixars website under company info. it sucks. it's great for apple/jobs but i was so much beginning to like pixar over disney and now...they will be one in the same. as soon as they release this next film called 'cars,' they will finalize everything, that's my guess at least. it's sad though

i had dinner tonight with some of my friends from training tonight. 1 atheist (raised methodist, oddly enough), 1muslim (who grew up attending private catholic school), 1 irish catholic (who attended private catholic school) and me. (set that up the correct way and it sounds like the lead in to a joke) and one of them is gay, not me. anyone who has been in this situation before should begin to feel the 'this is going to be interesting' feeling about the situation. about half way through the entré, religion and faith became the topic of conversation. it was like a train wreck. such a tricky situation. here is one, ONE, of the many things i found interesting. the first day of training, we had to go around the room and introduce ourselves, say where we were working and what our last job was. it came to me and i said i used to work for the camping ministry. i said ministry. didn't phase me but aparently for some people in the room. i instantly became someone to, 'not discuss religion with.' it's amazing to me. two of the three people at dinner said their first impression of me was that i was a radical religious person. all because i used the word ministry. i kinda laughed at that but it also kinda bugged me. i mentioned that after my last job, i kinda had a bad taste in my mouth for 'religion' or 'organized religion.' and they all said they had pinned me as the opposite. all because i said ministry. i'm stunned by that. i don't even know where to go from there.

yowza
