Today was quite busy as all my Fridays seem to be. I can remember a time when Friday was a Saturday you spent at work. There were no development or management meetings on Fridays. There were no new projects on the plate at 5:30PM on Friday afternoon…shit, 5:30 PM on a Friday I was already standing in the parking garage laughing it up with Ben S. or prior to that job I was sitting at home with Ben J. and the boys and/or Mandy on the porch. Maybe with a beer in tow. Of course at my last job there was the every Friday trip to the Palmetto Pig. Holy crap do they have some good fried chicken and BBQ. Well, those days are gone and are fond memories now. That’s okay though. I am hoping to remember this weekend that I am a young twenty-something. I am hoping to shed a couple of pounds of thought dealing with work, money, issues, etc. I thought about being a tourist at home, or maybe just being at home. I’ve got a few DVDs I haven’t watched and that DVD player that Matt and Cathy gave me for my birthday is kind of dusty…maybe I’ll have a sit-down and watch some movies. I thought I might get a not-so-macho fruity beverage from the local Mexican eatery and kick back. Either way, I just hope to have a little of the fun that I remember having only months ago.
I got my work email back yesterday after not having it for about a week and a half and had a nice group of new and unread messages siinging to the tune of 71. All of that on top of all the other work I already had to do has pushed this day over the limit of humanly possible. Everywhere I look is an email, a memo, a phone message, a hand off, a something. So yeah, I look forward to the end of the hour long drive. That’s the part where I take off my shoes, kiss my girlfriend on the cheek, pet my cats, and make plans to do whatever floats into my head. Maybe I will even see the ocean this weekend. I knew there was a reason people liked Charleston…hopefully I will find it too.
BTW: I have 49 GMail invites left. If you want one, make it known.
BTW#2: haha…I said #2. Anyway, thanks for all the memory responses…if you don’t know what I am talking about, see the previous post or click this super cool hyperlink right here yo.
Peace to the Middle East…that’s a good one.
