Friday the 13th

Friday started out with GREAT potential. Again, all kinds of plans and yet again, all kinds of plans destroyed. Ok, not destroyed, just disrupted a little bit.

Friday's at work are usually very laid back, chill, and a tad on the social side. However, we apparently have been too laid back and whole lot social this week. So much, that we had a talkin' with 'dad'. Well that just put a huge damper on the day. But wait! There's more!

So then at lunch a few of us decided to head over the the mall with the priority mission of getting Clarice to walk as much as possible. Two days until her due date and nada! Well our mission was accomplished but apparently it took to long to complete. I take full responsibility. Sorry, but I've been brain washed by the Army to train and accomplish missions to standard not to time. So then we got lectured AGAIN and were told that we had to work a full work day. WAIT WAIT WAIT! WHAT? SAY AGAIN? In our office you will find some of the most intelligent, creative, hard working time managers possible! 90% of the time we work through our lunches! 90% of the time! Each of us probably deserve a month long vacation for all of the 'over time' we put in! Now, because we were gone an extra hour we're being punished? WOW!

Anyways we sucked it up and drove on, as we usually do. However, I had made plans with some of my family to make dinner at my house tonight. I now had to call them and tell them that everything would be a hour later due to my reprimand. They were understanding and even offered to pick up some of the supplies.

I ended up stopping at the store to grab a few items anyways. Once I got home, I realized that the one main thing I needed I forgot. I had 5 people to feed and only 3 Chicken breasts. Since I live out in the 'boon-docks' I didn't want to drive to go get more and decided that we would all just have to share.

Meanwhile I had been anticipating my friend of 21 years to arrive in Vegas and give me a phone call. I haven't seen her in close to 7 years and was so excited to finally catch up. We were going to go out to Stoney's, have a few drinks and get some dancing in. I got my phone call, but unfortunately it was to tell me that she never made it into town due to the bad weather. Great! Another thing wrong.

I decided to call Christina and go have a few drinks with her to help whined down.

Nothing else seemed to go wrong for the evening. Thank goodness.

AND there's another Friday the 13th in March!! I'm calling in sick!
