One of the few work days that are the least bit entertaining are toy arrival days. And today is one of those days. I have spent more time than I would like to admit dicking around with miniature rubik's cubes, wooden peg games and, my favorite, the sticky hand grabbers. I'm sure everyone outside my office is curious why they hear periodic THWACK!s against the windows. The parents will hate me for giving their kids those things but the kids will love it and thats more important to me.
I may bring one home so I can slap Jenn in the face with it. She deserves it, I just havent figured out why yet.
In other news, dont bother with the Sweetheart blast from Sonic. It doesn't hold a candle to the Smores blast they used to have. I was hoping for cherry chocolate delight. What I got was weakly cherry flavored base with waxy chocolate pieces suspended throughout. To Sonic's credit the blasts are always choc full of candy pieces which is usually a good thing, just not this time. And to all of you who are patrons of Sonic - Do you tip the person that brings you the food? I just dont know what I'm supposed to do. Its a fast food place but at the same time I have this cheery person bringing me my food, asking if I need anything else. Isnt that ultimately what waitstaff do? Sometimes I let them keep some of my change, sometimes I take it all, either way I am left very uncomfortable at the end of my transaction. What do you do?
And finally, I may have to bitch slap one of my neighbors. He continually parks his gay ass scooter in one of the front parking spaces by our building despite the specific motorcycle/scooter/skate board/roller skate parking space designated by a sign a few spaces down. And because he pulls right up to the grass, a driver caught unawares THINKS the space is open and begins to pull in just to slam on the brakes when they see his little vespa sitting there. Hmm, maybe I will hit him with the sticky hand instead of Jenn.
Or maybe both.
