The day:

  • Woke up.
  • Gym.
  • Hygiene rituals
  • Work.
  • Dinner.
  • Home.

Highlights of the day include:

  • Being the day after a holiday, mail should have been fairly heavy. It wasn’t… not that I am complaining. I even managed to get a little bit of drawing done during some of the downtime. Bonus. Not a lot of drawing, mind you, but I did get a couple of nice practice sets of eyes and mouths done.
  • The Quote of the Day. Today’s verbal gem of wisdom came from Dee shortly after 7 PM. We were talking about some of the people with whom we work and commented on some co-workers’ lack of moral fiber and… umm… “intestinal fortitude.” When that led into talk about some of the supervisors and managers, he singled out one person with the comment: “That bitch has got balls, in spades!” And, he’s right: she’s Hell on wheels incarnate. (NOT to be confused with Chili Con Carne.) How do I get along with said person? I tolerate her and respect her position in our team, otherwise she’s pretty much a non-factor in my world. But, I couldn’t pass up that quote – it just fit TOO well.
  • Dinner: I was having a craving for Italian food, so I suggested a trip to Romano’s Macaroni Grill to Jess, Dee, Gary, Julia and Land. Dee had to head home right after work, but everyone else decided to go; we invited Angie on the way there and Gary brought his wife – who also happens to work with Angie. My dinner choices: Calimari Fritti, Fettucini Alfredo with grilled chicken and a glass of Chardonnay.
    Dinner GOOD!!! ::: handgesture :::
    We closed the place down… and then stood in the parking lot and talked for at least another :30. It was a nice way to wind down the evening. And, to quote Captain James T. Kirk, “It was… fun!”

I’d better hit the rack. Tomorrow (Wed) is “Do-or-Die” day: the day that I either get a broadband connection or wipe this city off the face of the earth through sheer mental force. I realize that destroying everything (and everyone) like that may be a little… umm… “over the top,” just for a broadband hookup, but no one expects to live forever. This way, I’m just helping people cut out a lot of the middle steps. I’m all about helping out my fellow man like that. And… I did warn my friends and co-workers who live in the area to avoid the city – I don’t want them, or their families, to get caught in the psychic backlash. Nominates self for “Good Neighbor” award.

Peace.
