Math is SEXY!
You ever hear someone say, "it goes without saying", then proceed to say it anyway? That always bothered me, but I'm going to say it anyway. It goes without saying that as a logistician, you have to be good at math. It is primarily a numbers based industry, and I love it for that reason.

Today, I got a 100 on my Calculus exam. As shocking as that is by itself I am more shocked that the ridiculously hot, Abercrombie-model-wannabe who sits next to me asked for my number so I could help tutor him and help him "get caught up with the shit". Hmmm...it's not the first time I've had a math infatuation ask  for my help....maybe this should become a trend? I hang out in math classes and lure the jocks into making me their tutor? :-) Then I'll whoo them over with my ability to take derivatives, clearly the consummate example of sex appeal! I win!

In another news, today I was on the news. NBC4! Right after work, my good friend James Ferguson and I enjoyed a glass of wine at Due Amici, and upon leaving we were stopped by a news crew. They were doing a piece on parking downtown, and they wanted to know what we thought of it. Funny enough, we had contrasting opinions--I feel the parking is ample and he feels the parking is lacking. Still, it was fun yet again being on TV here in Columbus.

It's been awhile since I wrote a story about some of my strange happenings. I think I have just the right one to write about, so expect it in the next few days...:-)

James really thinks that parking is lacking? We have like 6 blocks of nothing but parking garages around the AEP building. We're lacking streetcar stops.

I AGREE COMPLETELY. I've had three conversations in the past two days about how Columbus needs a transit system to hit around the entire city, and I emphatically disagree. A lightrail from Grove City to Polaris? God what a terrible idea. No one would ride it and it would be expensive as hell!

The streetcar was PERFECT for Columbus. It started small and hit the densest parts of the city, connecting students, businessmen and families in Vic/German Village. Sigh...it got shot down though... :-(

Ha, remember me in high school? I had NO love for math. None at all! Mr. Westcott ruined math, and I'd even go as far to say my desire to learn, for YEARS. It actually turns out I'm really good at Math, but because of LCS and our pal JC, I had no desire to learn it. Funny, isn't it? (NO!)

Did you hear he got fired?

Well, he sucked. And it took them 20-some years to figure it out. Ask Mrs. Bell, she's on Facebook!

You should have told me when you passed me that you and the Ferg were having a tasty glass of wine! Of course, you two would have started arguing about politics and I would have been forced to eat a bullet...

Well I would have invited if you had actually STOPPED to say hello, instead of keep strolling ;-). Ha ha, actually, we didn't even talk about politics!
