New Year's Eve and it's hard to believe
another zodiac has gone around.

While you drank yourself high on hoping
and watched the ceiling spin from the ground.

Counting down from ten it's time
to make your annual prayer.

Secret santa in the sky
when will I get my share?

Then you tell yourself
what you want to hear.

Cause you have to believe.

This will be my year.

This will be my year...Semisonic

So yesterday in a meeting I basically alienated myself from a team of overly agressive pushy evil folk by pointing out the fact that their constant claim of being the music download leaders and product innovators is a bunch of hooey (s?)...highlights include their insistance of using I-Pods and I-Tunes as the only method when they referenced of kids downloading music. Well I pointed out that it was starting to sound like a product indorsement which is something that we should avoid. Additionally not all kids use I-Pods. Most kids (and adults for that matter) can't even afford them.

Once I pointed that out it was all MP3 this and MP3 that. The lead goon (whose side goons rarely speak) well she doesn't know enough about technology to speak about it without backing herself into a corner. So when I brought the "alternative methods" point up she started cowtowing and such.

Plus as to their claims of being the "music download leaders" I pointed out that in fact my channel, their mother channel was indeed the leader in that. Lest they forget. And that in reality we had one of the most tangible success stories in support of the profitablity of downloading music and successful label partnerships of 2003.

It all sounds very fragmented here but in reality it was pertinate to the discussion and I had to really stop their attempts to push me around and bully me. I wasn't agrumentative, but factual.

It's bound to bite me in the ass but it had to be done. Nobody pushes Gimlet around.

Harumph.

Well rumor has it they were whispering about me in the hallway before they left for the evening. No doubt plotting my demise and downfall.

On a lighter note...we saw Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler when we were leaving the building. He seems to have lost the "post J-Lo" fat.
