rudderless
|
well its been a long and fun 2 days. i had a going away party on wed nite for
someone who left today. that was good, but i ended up basically acting like i
was the chaperone to pj, who used to be in the cube next to mine, and kb who
i've worked with on some problems, and who recently offered me a job in her
department. not that i think anything would happen, since they're both happily
married. but, we were out REALLY late. we closed one bar down (1pm bar time
here) and then since i hadn't eaten dinner yet, i mentioned 'breakfast would
be really good' and they both were like 'yeah, that would be good!'
i dont drink. not that i dont want to, but i cant. i'm allergic to alcohol. it kinda sux, cuz it be nice to not hafta explain it every time i'm out with people. pj and kb were pretty well drunk, and pj also had a cigar in him. so we went to eat at perkins. i probably shouldnt have let kb drive us there, but my mind was pretty numb cuz it was FREEZING out. during the day, it was around 29-30°F, but when we walked outta the bar it was like only 6°F! so needless to say, we were all chattering teeth when we got to kb's car. so after all that, we didnt get home til 3:15am... kb had been worried that her husband would be pissed, so she decided that she could either call and say "hi honey, i'm on the way home" or just sneak in and let him do his normal wakeup and look to see what time she got home routine. she chose to do the sneak thing. she told me thursday that somehow the power had miracously gone out at her house, so when she snuck into bed and her husband looked at the clock, it was blinking 12:37, and he thought she got home at a normal hour! pj didnt do any of that, he just stumbled in and then woke up in his clothes, on the couch. thursday was our xmas party. we have separate parties for each 'division' and then there is a common 'after the party party' that a lot of us go to. its a very happening thing, and the one time where a buncha us all let loose. its a great time, a time where you get to chat with people you havent seen in a while. this year was no exception, and wed nite we had planned on doing another big nite out, but somehow, with the tiredness from the wed nite stuff, and the bar wanting to kick us out at midnite, it ended up being an earlier than normal one. also a bummer, my good friend karen was home sick, and she had been looking forward to this party all year. so she was bummin. nothing much happened today, just the work thing, and then being way too tired to do anything tonite. so instead, i just sat at home and ate food that was fatty and bad for me, and lamented about my so called life. a bad health week. |
