Summer Solstice - A Day in the life of Sonic

Do you know today is Summer Solstice. The longest day of the year?
Well, to honor the honor this longest day of the year, here is a quick glimpsy of a day in the life of Sonic.

• 6:00AM (Bed) - Cell phone alarm sounded. Tried to hit the snooze botton but decided not to. Dragged myself out of bed and changed to my Swimming gear so not wanted to...

• 6:15AM (Woodbridge Swimming Club) - Arrived at the swimming center, found my favorite cat Phoebe waiting for me at the usual spot, I never found out who's cat it is, but the name tag says Phoebe, and she is quite attached to me (I'll try to remember to take some pics next time).

• 6:55AM (Woodbridge Swimming Club) - After 33 min and one mile in the water, I am feeling a bit tired. But good tired. I actually swam faster than the man who has been beating me the last few times.

• 7:30AM (Home) - Washed off all the chlorine and changed to work cloth. I needed a haircut. But I remember someone once told me that I actually look better with some hair. But my hair is getting way too long...

• 8:00AM (Work) - Arrived at work with a Starbucks Latte, one Cranberry Bagel, two Apple turnovers, and one Banana on Roid. Healthy breakfast yeah? Decided that there's too much sugar. Offered one Turnover to Ann.

• 9:00AM (Work) - Finished checking and respond to emails from previous night. Looks like it is going to be a busy day...

• 10:30AM (Work) - Finished preping for some of the backup data for Q4 planning....now all I need to do is put them in pretty slides. I think I am getting quite good at PPs.

• 11:00AM (My cube) - Found errors in dataset. need to redo all the work...sucks.

• 12:00PM (My Cube) - Client call to discuss Q3 Strategy cancelled....yeah. I can actually go to lunch (making a quiznos run for all my close co-workers).

• 1:00PM (Next Building) - Q3 Marketing meeting (are marketing people really neccessary? these people are so clueless...)

• 2:00PM (Upstairs, Conf. room) - Ops Production meeting (Here is where the juice is at). Looks like we've resovled some outstanding issues.

• 3:00PM (Back at my cube) - Finally back at my desk....I should start those presentations shouldn't I. but found out there are a few other projects going on at the same time...interesting thing is that the VP hinted to me and Steph that we might be managing someone to help us out if the workloads gets heavier....he wants us to think about it. Me? Managing people? Are you serious?

• 6:00PM (My Cube) - Still working on slides and some others projects for various people. I think I am done for the day, will work on the rest later tonight after my ride.

• 6:20PM (Home) - Changed into my cycling battle gear. Today, I ride for 25 miles...

• 7:40PM (Home) - After riding thru Culver, Newport Center Drive, PCH thru Crystal Cove, Irvine Back bay...I am home. It was a great ride. No hip problem.

• 8:20PM (Coffee Bean) - Ordered my usual Chai hot tea and finished dinner from the pizza place next door. Their service is super slow today....must be my Del Piero Jersey. I remember the owner is a huge USA soccer fan...

• now (Coffee bean) - finishing some touches to my work...I am going to stay here till 10:00PM or so then head home for a good night sleep....6:00AM wakeup call again tomorrow. Its a good day!
