Brrrr

20 degrees is making me feel pretty dumb about taking the plastic off of the windows and putting away my heavier jackets, hat and gloves.

No Luck of the Irish

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

So this post is already a week late but man, I sure didn’t have a good St. Patty’s day this year – at least not on St. Patty’s day itself.

The plan was simple – enjoy a hot breakfast at home with some coffee and Irish cream, have a good day at work, eat lunch outside and watch all of the drunk downtown bar patrons, come home for a quick dinner and then out with a friend to watch another friend play fiddle in an Irish band downtown.

Well, the very first thing that happened at work was a meeting that started “So, what exactly were you thinking when you designed this?” Ouch. Lunch was nice but I then spent the entire afternoon fixing an email template I thought I had fixed weeks ago. I left a bit late and then missed the bus so I arrived home a full 45 minutes later. It turned out not to be a problem though as my evening plans were canceled.

I ended up watching a weird sci-fi movie with a Guinness ice cream float. Yeah.

Financial Fail

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Despite getting an unused–vacation-bonus from my old job in December, earning higher wages at my new job, getting some money for freelance projects, and a bit of Christmas/birthday money, I still somehow drove my checking account down to $80 last week. Time to stay home and not spend any money!

Oops

I left my employee ID in the lunch room the other day. Thankfully someone turned it in and I only had to go down to the front desk to pick it up. Still though, pretty dumb.

Gutter Ball

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

My team made it to the semi-finals of the office Wii bowling tournament and ended up losing by 2 pins. The worst part is that I somehow managed to throw a gutterball on a should-have-been-easy spare pick up in the ninth frame. I then left the tenth frame open too after what had been a pretty decent game. I was on course for a 200 or so, but instead got a 176 and lost it for the team.
