Got Choy?

Listen to yo' momma… Choy is good for you.

It’s always a blast at Chevy’s, especially when it’s someone’s birthday… Real or not.

After today’s practice up in Vallejo, we all decided to head over to chevy’s for lunch. And while you might think that a birthday celebration at some restaurant is nothing special, this one was for two reasons.

1) it really wasn’t mikey’s birthday. (… when the waiters come around and start singing the birthday jingle unbeknownst to the non-birthday boy, it’s always a good laugh. Haha)

2) the Mexican sombrero, free from chevy’s, makes the Mexican, mikey, even more Mexican. It’s an inside joke. (he’s only half Mexican. ;) ) jk mikey.

So here we are again. I’ve found a new reason to try blogging again. Inspiration comes in the form of an iPhone app called ‘wordpress’. Imagine that, a portable solution to blogging random thoughts whenever and more importantly, whereever I am. So virtually, you are all my guinea pigs here in witness to my first mobile post coming from my iPhone. (admittedly, I am writing this mobile post from my room, while sitting in front of my computer.) hehe.

Besides, I think this is a healthier and less intrusive alternative to twittering. (damn that thing is annoying)

You can attach pictures too! (this is the only interesting pic I’ve got right now. It the husband-to-be roger, passed out, mouth agape, on our flight to Portland for OSCON.) ;-)

Just thought I’d utilize the flood of traffic that gotchoy.com has and throw in a shameless plug for mozes.com. Use your cell phone and send me a message to my mob! First ten people to see this on my website and successfully send me a text to my mob telling me they found me on gotchoy.com will get $100. :)

The Goodbye Lunch
Originally uploaded by druchoy

Today, I had my going-away lunch at Straits Cafe in Palo Alto — in fact the same restaurant that I had my welcome lunch at.

It had been five and a half great years at the E*TRADE, but it was time to move on. In that time, I’ve seen three different CEO’s. I’ve seen the stock start at $3.50… soar to $27… and return back down to $3.50. I’ve worked in five different cubicles. I’ve seen a time when evite.com was not blocked at work. I’ve also seen eight newborn babies (future E*TRADErs) in the group. ;-)

This is a shot of my group outside the restaurant. Through the good and the bad, I can say confidently that I attribute the length of my stay at the company to how closely knit the team was. I will miss my first full time job… and I will miss everyone of them.

Thanks for everything guys.
