Highlights of 2008

Late, but a recap of some favorite moments from 2008:

1. Getting married

2. Incident B

Incident A:
"Is that someones daughter?" -This guy, asking about me at the Operations Meeting
"No she works for the company." -My boss's boss
"Oh, I thought she was 14." -The guy, still talking about me

Incident B:
"Are you an attorney?" -This dude asking me if I was an attorney

3. Chiefs beating the Broncos in week 4

4. Reconfiguring our antenna to get 16 channels instead of 3, just in time to watch the Olympics

5. Meeting* Tony Gonzalez

*by "meeting" I probably mean being in the same Applebees as him while he does a radio show
