I have the sneaking suspicion that I'm getting sick, and I'm fighting like all hell to keep that from happening. My first order of business tomorrow will be to buy a million bottles of Odwalla Vitamin C monster drinks and promptly drink them all. Assuming that the store is open, of course. What closes on Easter, and what stays open? We're not doing anything this year (we usually do) so I was toying with the idea of shopping.
This week was all work, work, work. Although I did go to dinner with LT on Wednesday and saw DM and MB for coffee (in my case, chai) on Thursday. I also ran (and by ran I mean drove) down to Starbucks today for a drink before I started dinner, and they sprinkled cinnamon on top of my chai. I've never had it with that before, but will now insist upon it. Yum!
My dinner wasn't too bad, either. Fettucine (a mixture of "regular" and spinach), asparagus, bell pepper and mini chicken-apple sausages. I just finished what was left as a midnight snack... okay, nine o'clock snack, whatever.
What else? My walking partner and I actually went for a walk last night for the first time in weeks. It's so nice to have it still be light out into the evening. I'm definitely ready for more warm, sunny weather, though a couple of days have been surprisingly hot. Hot enough for me to invest in some sunscreen (I know, supposed to use it all year long, whatever), which I'm fairly vigilant about after getting a bad sunburn a couple years ago.
Okay, the right arm of my desk chair just came off. It's been wobbling for weeks, but I keep forgetting to tell my dad to fix it. Yes, I am totally helpless when it comes to furniture, insects and cars, but I'd rather remain ignorant about such things.
Abrupt change of subject: My job drives me nuts most of the time, but I'm really going to miss the people when I'm gone. At times, things can get absurdly fun (emphasis on absurd) around the office. My boss almost made me die one day this week when he was telling all these Viagra-related jokes while on a conference call with this old dude - only I didn't realize at first that he was pressing the mute button while saying them. You kinda had to be there, but it was kind of hilarious.
You know what I love? Quotes that, when taken out of context, are extremely weird. For your reading pleasure, some things heard around the office since I returned in January:
"But I figured you'd know a lot about whipping."
"So is he a tranny or what?"
"I'm glad you're here, because I need help with something and I didn't want to ask the girls."
"Um, do you want me to close the office door?"
"Do you think this e-mail sounds too bitchy?"
"No, I think it sounds just bitchy enough."
"We have to get these files over to Numbnuts."
"Which one?"
"You smell so good!"
"Why is my box full of rocks?"
"You're young enough to have a daughter as old as me!"
"I always bought him the cheese he likes."
