Freak Occurance?
So I was at work today and we were discussing states we have visited. And, although this may seem unbelievable, I was the only one there that had visited the great state of Wisconsin. A discussion about farming techniques ensued and about 20 minutes later they knew all they ever wanted to know about units, milking, scraping shit and pulling calves. So we all get back to work and I check livejournal and msassy had just posted one of her dad's famous emails about some bitch cow they finally got rid of after fighting with it for a year. She could hear my laugh all the way from DC, but not as well as the rest of my office. How bizzare is that? Guess no matter how hard she tries to avoid me, our minds still allign every once in a while.
Work is going well. I am getting into the swing of things and am starting to realize exactly what I will be doing on a day to day basis. Some of my co-workers even like me (as evidenced above.) Sat down with pen and paper and realized that I can make it down here without my second job, so the next time they piss me off I am finished down there. Either that or when my boss finds me some OT that pays four times the rate of CVS. I am hoping for the second option. Money == good.
We went out this last weekend for a bit of socializing. Since I had not ventured out any of the 3 previous weekends I have been down here, I decided it was definetly time. I headed out with wxs,nuzz and Brian to test a bar they had found online. The place was very retro. Orange and blue decor with funky lights and lots of small tables to gather around. There was also a bar and 8 or 10 pool tables. We put our name in for pool and found out it would be $10/person. That seemed a little excessive, but there was no cover and my Jack and coke was only $4.50, so I guess it all balances out. Don met us there after a while and we just sat and socialized. We elected to give up our spot in the pool line after a few hours and head into Georgetown to try a different bar. We ended up at Mr.Smith's. Very crowded but everyone inside was singing along to the live piano player and the atmosphere couldn't be beat. Definetly plenty of eye candy down there. So that's what a college scene is like. Then I realized we were barhopping on Pennsylvania Ave which I thought was pretty damn cool but everyone else didnt seem to care about. So another hour or so there and we headed home. Crawled into bed a little past 2:30am. Only bad thing about the night was people can smoke down here in bars. I really miss my smoke-free bars at home. Very good night overall spent with very cool people. Spent Sunday cleaning the apartment, doing laundry, going shopping and some other assorted domesticated tasks.
It snowed last night. Only 3 or 4 inches, but apparently that is a big deal around here. They even made work optional today. You could take the day off but they take it out of your annual leave. No thanks. No one was there today and I barely got anything done. Definetly not worth a vacation day. WXS is supposed to come over sometime soon since I tivo'ed about 3 hours worth of shows for him. If not, there is always Wednesday night (I have to work tomorrow). Well, there is another uninteresting update. Hope you all enjoyed. Oh, and it is someone's birthday today too. Happy Birthday!
