Away for the weekend

Tonight I am packing, what's good about me being a night person is, I can be up until whatever for packing but getting up tomorrow will be a lil tougher. We will be going early tomorrow to Miami. We miss going to Miami and it's been months since we drove down south. We go there often for business too. We get a lot of our computer stuff from Miami. We always combine business and pleasure. Don't expect me to be away from blogging thingy because I will always find a way to be connected no matter where we go :)

chasing sale

Man, weeks go by so quick that when I look at blog it's weekends again. The last time i posted about what I did was last week and now it's a week after the big event, The Super Bowl! I am just gonna update for my whole week. It was just a busy week for us at the store, I have files of tasks to be completed and the week is over and I am not done with it so I guess I have it for Monday.
Speaking of sales, after we ate at our favorite Mexican restaurant called Miguel's here in Tampa, we went to the computer store that is closing in 2 weeks trying get a good deal. The stuff are almost gone and look like it's pretty much empty but we still saw this one laptop, a huge one with a 20 inch screen, it's a high end machine just can't remember the specifications, all i know is It is a humongous system that I haven't seen before. It wasn't really a good deal because it's still kinda expensive but Ray just want to have it for display so we bought it for our store. Actually the store is just across the street from our computer store, it kinda help us in business when customer knew they are closing so they come to us for their computer repair and we exchange business even before in a way that we recommend each other to our customer when we don't have they the other have what the customer is looking for.


gotta go to bed guys have a good weekend...

It's a lil Ugly today

We just wasted our time today. We were working on this one deal for few weeks now actually we've had connections with this company (a multi-million dollar cement company). This time it's a little different, they are upgrading all of their hardwares and we are the one whose gonna pick up all the stuff that they want to get rid off. Today is the first day to pick up one part of it, when our guy went and pick it up he called and told us that there's no computers in the whole thing! Computers are the main reason why we agreed to work with them in the first place! Ray was so mad considering all the time and effort we all invested in it. He called them and told them we aren't picking up the rest of the stuff which is supposedly all over Florida!

Ray is not the kind a guy that will just forget so he is gonna do something to give them problems since they gave us problems first...story developing....

Business + Pleasure Trip

The most unprepared trip we've been to was the trip to Detroit, Michigan. We got an email earlier in June from a college saying that they have stuff. The deal wasn't certain but as Ray and the college exchanging emails, next thing we knew we have to go pick it up. It wasn't a hard decision to make instead we considered it an opportunity because we will be able to go to the 5 states (Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin) that we haven't seen yet. So we drove to Detroit Wednesday June 28, 2006. After picking up the stuff, we rent a car and started to drive to the other states. Iowa is the most boring states we've been to. Fargo, North Dakota is as flat as can be when it comes to buildings. Minnesota is known for there 10,000 lakes which is probably true because you can see lakes in the side of the interstate roads. We went to mall of America in Bloomington which we thought in Minneapolis, so we got delayed for a couple of minutes. One of our goals going up there was to see all 5 Great Lakes (Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Superior and Lake Ontario). Unfortunately we weren't be able to go to Lake Ontario because of the dogs. We can't cross to the border of Canada, we could actually see it on the USA side but it is too far out and the shortest way is crossing the border from Detroit to Windsor Canada. As we were researching on the net on our way to the lakes, we were too afraid that they can't reenter USA and they'll be quarantined in the border. We just didn't take the chance! Anyways they went swimmin' to all four Great Lakes except Ontario though.

Work and Stripclub Mania

GIVE ME A BREAK!!! It's almost 2 weeks now since our night routine is strip club, dinner and work. Supposedly we only worked until six o'clock at night but because the whole place is a heap we have to extend a little bit of our time(shall i say,until midnight. Is it most of the night????). It's just a complete mess, from valuable to junk stuffs everywhere, the dirt dispersed in the floor and even in the table.
We can't start the cleaning if we didn't have our pre-routine. To make it started, we go to the strip club to have a couple of drinks(either margarita, screw driver or rum n coke and i know coke is not good for me because of caffeine, i love it even the consequence is i can't sleep at night ...what the heck, i don't care!!! ) and play a game of pool. We are both impatient when it comes to work so we have to have a break. We will go to the strip club to excite ourselves on what we will be doing. After the drinks and the games, we will be craving for dinner, either Mexican food( at Miguel's(oh boy, the chimichanga, they're really good), and at la Teresita, their food is awesome), Chinese food at dynasty for their barbecue chicken(not many Chinese restaurants have it, we always check every place we went to if they have it), Shells(i am not really a sea food fan, but the food is fantastic ), and for a change a sizzling Mexican style steak straight from mom's kitchen, she invited us for dinner. She invites us every once in a while. Anyway, after dinner where our lazy butt has to sort things out and clean the the place.
Actually the whole place is not big, but it took us a while to finish because of the pre-routine and while working we always have drinks. It's boring when you have nothing to sip :). We are not alcoholic, we just need some drinks to make us going. can you imagine one room will take us three to four days to be completely done at all.
We are still making our way to make the whole place neat and clean, and the truth is we still has a long ways to go:(
