So I had an incredible day at work yesterday. Basically I really like my job, but I've been wanting to move up, do more tech support and eventually start working at the Genius bar. Well I'd been talking to one of the managers and he was going to move me into a position to assist the Genius' so I could learn more starting next week. However yesterday they suddenly asked me to start shadowing one of the Geniuses at the iPod bar. We've actually been short one Genius for a while since one of our guys moved and transfered to another store, and one of the other Genius' has had his honney moon planned forever and is going in the next month. So it turns out that they are going to accelerate my training some so that I can help cover the shifts that are going to be empty. It's a ton of fun and I'm so excited (even if I did have to handle an iPhone that was dropped in the toilet yesterday). I doubt I'll be an official Genius for a while, probably just helping out with the iPods and iPhones because that's fairly easy, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Oh, and tonight's the Caucus, why don't I live in Iowa so I could join the fun?

Yes, it's one of those days when for once I seem to have a lot to post.

Anyway. Obama won in Iowa. I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand he's my least favorite of the Big 3, in fact he generally ranks at the bottom of all the democratic candidates for me, although it's hard to say exactly where. On the other hand it's way cool that in a conservative, mostly white, midwestern state 2/3rds of the people did not vote for the white male. The problem, I think John Edwards is the best of the candidates. Even more so after the speech he gave. In fact I've generally be torn between Edwards and Clinton, but whatever feminist loyalties I had to Clinton have been snapped by just how great I think Edwards would be for America.

I don't think he's going to win though, but the campaign isn't over yet. So who knows. At least we're in for a good race.
