So it looks like after seeing my initial workload of three programs increased by one a couple weeks into my tenure at Ingram I’ve now been handed the reigns of a major project here. The company is launching an entire new division accompanied by a new line of products and it appears I’ll be spearheading the planning, branding, and marketing of it. It’s precisely the kind of challenge I was looking for when I decided to leave the home office and I’m ecstatic to take it on. I know the “new” corporate Rick Jessup is a surprise to those who know me best but let’s just say that I’ve learned a lot since the first corporate RJ of CryptoLogic. Those were bad times, and these are better.
I am addicted to ‘Robot Chicken‘. Like, completely. I have to watch it every morning with breakfast. Best segment yet was the one starring Charlie Brown.
I’m also readdicted to Wilco’s catalogue of CDs, most notably the ‘Kicking Television‘ double live album I’d really never listened to after buying. I’ve taken to plugging in my headphones and listening to CDs or WDVX at work. Great for concentration, but makes me look like an idiot when I fail to notice someone behind me talking to me.
Today’s weather is unfair. I mean, it’s been cold lately, that’s no secret. But for those others who reside in the GTA like me, are we not being provided with a little something extra out there today? It just feels so much worse, temperature wise, than it’s been.
