Choe and I headed over to Choke last weekend, a great day on the lake (9 hours!!). Visit his site for pics:

I go to Costco to price out Hammocks.

I learn that Costco does not currently carry Hammocks.

While I am at the store I notice the TV I bought just over 3 months ago had dropped in price by over $200.

Costco has a policy that you can get a price adjustment on any item in the store for 30 days but I figured that there was no harm in asking about getting an adjustment.

I ask customer service about my TV and they quote the policy but tell me to ask a Manager (Ok so Costco should probably empower their front line folks to make these type of decisions on their own but I can look past that).

I find a manager walking the floor and explain my situation, her answer is “Sure, we will take care of you”.

It’s important for me to point out that getting the refund is not what makes me a promoter (although the cash is nice!). What made me a promoter is the fact that the Manager did not hide behind policy to avoid conflict with a customer.

The experience that I had made me want to learn more about the company. It turns out that this type of service is encouraged by Costco CEO Jim Sinegal, if you have a moment to read about his management style, his take on customer service and how to treat employees I would highly encourage it.

Nice work Costco.

I went to Fry’s yesterday and they had fry’s branded coffee on sale for 5 bucks a pound its whole bean too.. About to try it out.

Today at 1:38pm CST the results for the June 2008 Texas bar exam were posted online.

Andrea’s name is on the list (which means she passed).

Andrea is officially an attorney!

Andrea and I are visiting friends in Dallas this weekend. Part of the trip was going to a Dallas stars game, fun stuff!

Andrea and I are eating at BJ’s for the first time. They brew their own beer so I tried the pumpkin ale. Pretty good stuff! Even Andrea liked it which says a lot since she does not drink beer.

Here is what it contains.

Brian was wrong!! Line took a mere 57min

So.. Brian was right. We should have gotten in line to pickup our tickets a long time ago… Here is what we are dealing with.

That is about 1/5 of the total line

It’s pretty nice here, windy too!

Woot! There are already people in line and they don’t hand out tickets until 4. Here are some shots of the venue and some dorks:

Got to the hotel, total travel time was 22 hours!

Jason got us into CA about an hour ago. We are all about to fall asleep but success is close!

We made short work of Phoenix. Our current location is roughly 400 miles from our final destination.

We stopped at IN-N-OUT BURGER to eat and Brian is sporting his Spurs shirt in Sun territory. This is not good considering it’s 12:30 am and a group of about 7 thugs is sitting right outside.

I just took the wheel in New Mexico.

We are finally out of Texas and in New Mexico. Brian is still at the wheel.

85 in an 80. Shame on you!

Brian took over the wheel about an hour ago and says he can make it for 6 hours. We will see about that.
