well, the board was wrong (stalag's dry erase board), we didn't have to do 12's for the rest of the week after all. instead, we did 12 one day and 2-10's, leaving us with a one day weekend (yay!
). the longer days are greening the area up fast. seems the trees were pretty bare, just last week. today seems more like an autumn day...mostly cloudy and down right cold. freeze warnings are out for tonight (I guess so peeps can cover there outdoor plants? otherwise, it sounds a bit silly to have such "warnings" after 5 good months of blustery winter).speakin' of work, we had a new employee on the line next to us. a young little cutey, that one day I was wondering how much cuter she could be had she not had those squared off bangs (ala that chick from 'Pulp Fiction), only to find out the next day she had been killed in a car wreck. Mark says if only she had shown up for work that day, instead of taking the day off (she and a friend were on their way to Chicago veering across the median to avoid a road gator only to smack into an oncoming semi. neither one survived). my response to Mark was "or, she could have remained here at work only to have the roof cave in...who knows when and where it'll happen? " here today, gone tomorrow. I had a single mom friend (where I used to work) who always needed reassuring that things will be alright (being that she was a bit agoraphobic most times). I'd give her hugs and let her hear what she wanted to hear. it was a very huggy, yet platonic relationship. next thing ya know. same damn thing. she's involved in a wreck. died, leaving 3 young children behind. I felt like I let her down. fate is a fickle bitch and destiny is a whore [don't know where this quote came from, but it's fitting].
anyway, on a lighter note. tonight's brewage is a sixer of Bell's PORTER (Bell's brewing company. Comstock, MI) unt (if I don't pass out after that), a sixer of 1554 (New Belgium Brewin co) to relax away my one day weekend...
Mark (work bud) and I hit IHOP this morning after work, then head to his place to hang Fatheads (those vinyl posters of sport figures...you've seen the ad), then a good pooperdag walk, shower, nap to start my one day weekend. BEER ME!
my 'to-do list' includes getting a new spigot to attach the garden hose to. seems this one may have bitten the dust this winter. how can I warsh me dune buggy with a bad spigot?
