What a great day today has been!
I met my boss/good friend and her daughter for breakfast this morning at this hole-in-the-wall place called The Virgina Kitchen. The food is soooo good! Got into work around 11am and wandered over to the other building to grab a soda from the little store and what do I see? Sport & Fitness Health Club is doing a promo and they had free chair massage. The chair was wide open so I jumped on it. Because I was the first person and the only person so far, I got about 10 minutes compared to the regular 5. Awesome! I was so relaxed, I was babbling all the way back to my building because I was so dang relaxed. I get back to my office and what do I find? The HR fairy had been by and escorted out our completely useless Admin. I knew we were going to fire her but I didn't know it would be that quickly. We must have really had all our reasons well-documented because legal has to sign off on the terms and they scrutinize everything.
It was nice and quiet so I got lots of stuff done plus I read this hilarious recount of my friend, N's trip home from Cleveland. I know it wasn't hilarious at the time but N, you're right. It did make for a great story and I'm happy to know you and your friend got home safe and sound.
Around 4 I decided I'd run over to the Apple store and get that Sonic Impact I've been wanting for my iPod. It plays the videos on a 7" screen and is nice and compact for plane travel. I also bought a small JBL speaker thingy for my iPod that I can use at work. I had bought the big Bose speaker thing but that was just a little too big for the office. I'd blast away my co-workers. This little JBL will too but it doesn't take up as much space so I can put it on my desk. Anyway, now for the best part. I decided that once I left Apple, I'd call in a carryout order from Maggiano's (great Italian and best cheesecake ever). So I called the order in from the car then drove over to the other mall (Tyson's Corner is mall heaven) and picked it up. Chicken Farfalle and strawberry cheesecake. YUM! Plus they threw in a loaf of crusty bread. I love Maggiano's.
Yup, it's definitely been a Good Friday. And to make it even better, I'm going to re-watch last night's CSI so I can enjoy all the awesome Brass again. Brass is made of awesome!
