McDonald’s is slimming down its menu. The hamburger giant has started phasing out its trademark Supersize fries and drinks in its U.S. restaurants as part of an effort to simplify its menu and give customers choices that support “a balanced lifestyle,” a company spokesman said Tuesday.
By the end of 2004, Supersize will no longer be available at the nation’s 13,000-plus McDonald’s outlets.

It’s about time.
Arg, I’m very annoyed at the people that work here. I’ve had a shit load of monitors in my office for a while now. Well one of them was being used in my office for a computer which I’ve been working on.
Well today I come into myoffice and ALL of the monitors are gone, and there’s a DEC monitor sitting in place of the old one that was being used. Now, obviously a DEC MOnitor will NOT work with a VGA input (because it’s RGB). So instead of putting the DEC monitor BACK ON THE SHELF and getting one that WOULD work. They just leave everything where it is. HOW ANNOYING. Grrr.
Anyways, the last couple days have been alright. I’ve been in lots of pain every morning when I wake up, both my back and my knee. I’ve also been getting HORRIBLE headaches shortly after waking up that last all damn day. It’s not good. The knee thing I think I know about, while working out over winter break, I think I did something to it. By back however, and the headache things aren’t good. I don’t know when I’ll get to a doctor to see about those.
Classes have been alright. I haven’t really been up to much in them. I just got done with my MGMT 478 test, it wasn’t too bad. I think I did pretty good on it. So that’s exciting.
Other then that life is pretty boring. I’m very excited to go see Andrew though! Yay! Only 2 days 8 Hours, 29 Minutes till I land in LAX. Good times! Woot.
I hope Mike won’t mind us making out in the back seat on the way home. lol.
So yeah, that’s coming up.
Reading back one year ago, wow. That weekend really changed a lot in my life. Glad that it happened. I’m not really going to expand to much on what all happened, because I haven’t really decided if I want to make that private entry public yet or not. So we’ll see.
Anyways, I have to get back to work.
Laters all.
I know i haven’t really done much of a real entry lately, but not much has really been going on. I’ve been working alot and doing other random stuff. Trying to get packed for the trip to Mexico and also for the trip this weekend. Classes have been classes and as I said my HIST prof is totally crazy.
Anyways, the weekend has been pretty fun. Friday night I went out with Justin again. We went to the frathouse and had a really good time. It was free drinks tell 11, and free cover. So we both got fairly tipsy before 11. I stopped drinking after that but he kept on going. He was pretty smashed by the time we left at 12:30. I drove him home and as I was dropping him off we hugged, and then he leaned out and started to come back in for what I thought was another hug. But he gave me a kiss on the lips.
I was like, “Ok, I think you need to go to bed.” He called me on my way home and appologised and also told me the next day that he felt really bad about it. I told him not to worry, no harm done. And also he was pretty damn drunk, so I associate it to that.
Anyways, I drove home and stayed up for a while talking to Andrew and then went to bed. I slept in pretty late Saturday, but got up and went to DM. Turned in my app to Old Navy, and the manager was like, “Let me ask you a few questions” So i wa slike, alright… Then she goes “Ten words that describe yourself” and I was like, “Ummm, I have no clue.” I did get 5 out though, and that sucked.
Then like as soon as I walked out the door I was like, “THE SCOUT LAW!” Damnit, Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courtesy, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, reverent. Hello! There’s twelve right there. Dmanit. I was so annoyed at myself for that.
But I really hope I get the job. I mean, it’s a mindless job, but I think it’ll be fun. Plus extra money and good discounts on the super fabulous clothes they have!
After that I drove to VWM and picked up my suit then broke for home.
Sat around home all day reading business case studies and shit. Found out that Orange County is the number 2 inflated home prices in the country. Also read a hilarious 101 stupidest corporate activites too. Very amusing. I was going to post it here, but you have to pay to read it. Bastards.
Anyways, after that I sat around. Justin and I talked online and he invited me to a movie, and even offered to pay. it was super nice of him. We went and saw EuroTrip, which has two super hot boys in it. And we get to see thier asses! Holla! It was really funny too. I enjoyed it.
After the movie we went to El Rodeo and I had fried ice cream and we sat and talked and shit. It was good times. from there we went and drove around. He tried getting me lost, but actually got himself lost. Good thing I knew where I was going. He was just giving me directions and I was following them. We ended up at Saylorville and just drove around and stuff. Yet again, good times.
Drove him home and then I went home.
Today has been a long day. got up, did stuff, came home, cleaned, studied for Strategic Management class, read more business case studies (I’m a case study whore!) then did a strat analysis on Mandrake soft.
Now i’m here, and I’m going to go lay down. I have a bit of a headache.
Laters All.
THREE YEARS FROM NOW!
So today’s been pretty good. Class was a complete waste. Went in and she just babbled the whole time about how you should read a book and how she got through grad school. Then she told us that she’s never even read the entire book for this book report. We were all like great.
Then she was like, “Oh and I’m cancelling the last book report” and the one due for today isn’t due tell April 1st now. Great. Oh well I turned it in early anyways.
She also cancelled class for Friday April 2nd, which means I get to leave Thursday right after classes now… How exciting is that!
Woot.
I love her, I wish all my profs were as crazy as she is.
After she blabed forever she talked about drag queens in the 1920’s. Then she let us go.
I came back to work and the phone girl and I ordered pizza, it was only $2.50 each. Yummy yummy!
Then a meeting, and now I’m really tired. I want to leave work early, but I know I should stay and actually work on things. We’ll see though.
Laters all.
I know I’ve bitched about this before, but here’s a list of the top stupid IT patents.
Just go read some of the summarys and understand how stupid they are!
Notice that Amazon is on the top.
In other news, I haven’t really been up to much. Got my second 1600 word paper done, and shit, then I’ve been applying to more jobs, nothing new back.
Been doing some call backs on those as well.
Got MythTV set up. My own cute little PVR. Now I’m in the process of installing all the plugins, which have hellish dependencies. So that’s going to take a while. I also need to get a longer cable cable, so that I can have TV in my bedroom/on my computer. I’ve been wanting to re-arrange again, but I don’t know if I’ll get around to that or not. We’ll see I guess.
I have tests next week.
And one week from today, I’ll be in CALI! Woot! 6Days 13Hours, 11Minutes tell I land there.
Also:
Spring Break: 15 Days; 2 hours; 41 minutes till liftoff from DSM
Andrew’s Spring Break: 36 Days; 15 hours; 10 minutes
Graduation: 71 Days; 5 hours; 10 minutes
Move to Cali: 154 Days!
So yeah. Laters all.
Edit://
YAY! I just broke the $2500 in savings limit… I will NOT let it drop below that amount now. Considering it’s going to cost me about $2,000 just to fucking MOVE!
