Giant Gray Goiter

I've fallen behind on this blog - the last three days have been a blur. I spent Tuesday and Wednesday in our SVC where I had a ton of 1:1's. I had a list of folks I wanted to see, and last time I was out there (2 weeks ago), I tried just "dropping by". That was a disaster - I only managed to sit down with a couple of people. Turns out people are in meetings or coding away like mad fiends… aka working. During work hours. Go figure . So this time around, I got time on people's schedules, which was a much more effective way of actually getting time with people. (yes, it is true, I am a time management genius). But that meant that I was completely booked up for two straight days, followed by today's marathon - back-to-back meetings from 9:30 to 5:30, followed by a mad dash in rush hour traffic to my father-in-laws 70th birthday gathering.

So to make a long story even longer, finally after 3 days I now have a chance to catch my breath and blog about something that really matters - the hideous four hundred foot long Belkin iPhone headphone adapter. Mine showed up while I was at SVC. Has anyone seen this thing? It's friggin' HUGE. It's over 2 inches long (okay, so it's not 400 feet). It makes my iPhone look like it sprouted a giant gray goiter. But at least it's bendy. I can bend it over 90 degrees, like a Gumby doll.

On the plus side, thanks to my iPhone's giant gray goiter, I can now use my Bose noise cancelling headphones. I can't wait for my next flight - I can retire my video iPod at last!
