Yesterday we were working very late (which is something I definitely hate), so we went to Subway to have a quick dinner. There was a sticker on my Coke, I opened it, and I read 2 beautiful words: You Won!

Was it a car? Was it $10,000 in my bank account? Was it a trip to the South?

No, it was even better, it was a Subway biscuit, however, to get the biscuit I have to abide by the following terms:

  1. Present the coupon before October 19th, 2008.
  2. Present the coupon at closing time, when they usually throw all the biscuits in the trash. I might just as well wait by the trash at closing time and get more than 1.

A smart and rewarding promotion indeed!

Deep into Project Planning

Currently developing the Project Management Plan (nice sets of articles on the subject) for a project I wish the company didn’t undertake, while watching Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, for the 100th time.

The nice thing about this movie is that risk is not really a factor in the Project Management Plan, failure is not permitted, nor possible. If they fail then the movie will end in the first 5 minutes when Barbossa and Lady Swan meet the pirates in Singapore, they get killed, and end of story.

Unfortunately for me, I have to take care of risks and everything else in between in my plan, I cannot hope for things, hoping without planning is a recipe for failure.

Btw, after watching this movie for quite a lot of times, I think it’s excellent, it’s much better than the second one in my opinion, and I’m still not able to decide on whether or not it’s better than the first one. I like the treachery part of the movie, where everyone’s tricking everyone else to get what s/he needs. I highly recommend it.

What are you doing? Go buy this movie!

Disney Magic Code Giveaway

I bought Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End today, and I have to say that what I find a bit lame about this movie is the repeating jokes: Rum (why is the Rum Gone), the Guy’s wooden eye, the monkey, the bird, the dog with the keys (which I’m starting to think it’s the director’s and that’s why it keeps on showing up in every single movie with no logical explanation), etc… I hate Bloom and the girl (I didn’t really hate commodore Norrigton yet he was killed mercilessly since his role in the last 2 movies was really useless) in this movie and in the Dead Man’s Chest. Hell the girl sucked even in the Curse of Black Pearl, and why does Calypso speak with a Jamaican accent? And who stabbed whose heart near the end? And why can’t Orlando and that girl stay together (not that I really care, actually I wanted them both to drown with Davy Jones), and why did all those crabs carry the Black Pearl back to the sea?

It’s all a big mystery, but nevertheless, there’s one thing I found in the box of the DVD that might cheer someone, it’s THE DISNEY MAGIC CODE (yoohoo!), and here it is: NRWNGF47CR6C. Kindly comment on this post if you use it as I don’t want to waste someone else’s time.

Keep a weather eye open on this blog for more freebies (yeah right!).
