Day 2 and besides the fact I feel about as laid back in Salt Lake as I do in the dentist’s chair, things are coming along and it’s getting intense in every way possible…i even went out to lunch today, enough said. On a side note, as a lowly intern i don’t get an access pass nor a parking permit; so its trax everyday and signing in at the front desk for me. Of course, being an intern has its advantages. I have zero responsibility to perform at any level higher than that of an college undergrad. If I do something wrong, “How was I supposed to know, i’m just a lowly-non access card weilding intern!”. If I do something right and maybe even do it really, really right, i could possible turn heads long enough to get a little respect. What did I do today? I finished my research of other states’ incentive marketing efforts, helped find some info for an article Luke was writing, used Google to find out what the h— “talking points” are, prepared talking points for a meeting on Wednesday, and studied the GOED annual report from last year to get a better grasp on the whole enchilada. I don’t know if I can handle any more excitement. So, two days down…utter domination of the GOED marketing department to go.

So I was at Subway yesterday grabbing some grub after nine holes of golf with an old friend and lo-and-behold who walks in but 2003 Masters Champion Mike Weir! My friend finally got the guts up to say HI and then as he was leaving I called over my shoulder, “Good luck next week.”

He heard me and said thanks, so if he wins the masters next week…I called it and I gave him his luck.  Maybe he’ll share his winnings with me…eh?
