Chirp Chirp Chirp
| OK, so the title is supposed to be lick crickets chirping because it's been so darn quiet around it. I am sure some would interpret that Chirping at a Krystal Chik combo (3 chiks, fries and a Coke). While that wasn't my intention, I do believe I now know what's for dinner! Sorry, getting off track. I honestly don't have a good reason for not posting lately. Well I have a good reason but I'm not tell you. Bite me! I do however, have a couple of great reasons to make this quick post before I run off and hunt down some tasty Chiks. First off: where I work they send out 2 news letters. One goes to all students, faculty, and local industry. They also print a billion copies and scatter them everywhere. That is called the Tech Times, and serves to let our community know how awesome our students are and what our school offers to students and local industry. The second newsletter is sent my email to faculty and staff only. Perhaps to students, but I don't believe so. It's called "MGTC at Your PC." In past issues they've included interviews our employees have done in the local paper: "10 Questions with..." Well, I do understand how important it is to know what those crazy professors are doing at the school around the corner, all the articles seemed a bit stuff to me. How could I fix this? That's right. I emailed and asked if I could submit my Macon Telegraph article to be printed as well as this blog's address. While the KLHOF may not technically be "academic" it is certainly a great achievement and with (currently) only 40 people in the ENTIRE US in it, I think it's worth the school advertising. If nothing else it shows the school has diversity and a sense of humor. (Sense of humor is lacking in higher education these days, by the way.) It took perhaps 2 minutes before the reply came back: ABSOLUTELY! So watch this space closely. I think the next edition comes out in August or Sept. I'll be sure to put a copy up so y'all can see. I can't wait to see the reaction among the intelligencia. Now for the Really Big News. I just got an email from Tiffany the Krystal Web Goddess and one of the mods over at Krystal-lover blog. On their site she gave a few sneak peeks and hints about up coming news on krystal.com. Well it's coming and it's amazing! She says it is supposed to be unleashed on the universe tomorrow at noon. OK perhaps I embellished a bit with the whole "unleashed on the universe" part. But go ahead and plan to set aside part of your day to play at Krystal.com. I've lost track of how many times I have said "Holy CRAP!" in the past hour. And I'm sure to have web envy here soon. Maybe I can convince the folks at work to turn our entire department loose on my web site. Well, ok.. maybe getting in a cool-web-site fight with a MARKETING department (armed with tasty Krystals no less) is a bad idea. Anyway, I should be back to posting tasty Krystal tidbits in the next couple of days. Trying to sort out some offline stuff for now. (Apparently you can't use Krystal coupons to make your car payment. Darn it!)  |
