Thursday.
Okay, so here's yesterday.
Work: there's finally nothing to do, and as I was fed up with the 700-odd forms to file sitting on my desk for the past two and a half months, I got off my ass and started to file them, whatever Millie would say be damned. And you know what? I made a lot of headway. Between yesterday and Wednesday, I got my pile of 757 (I'd been keeping track so I could bitch) down to just 150. There were some hangups that prevented me from finishing -- I didn't get to go through all the places where folders hide -- but I reduced what was on my desk by 80%. It's in two piles and it's gorgeous.
Hetalia Day: I sent out a message yesterday to the admins so everyone could pick their jobs for this year's event. There's been a pretty good response so far, about half the people involved have volunteered for positions with no conflicts. I'm working on setting up all the documents that each staff member will be responsible for; that'll happen today. The scavenger hunt is also making little bits of progress and slowly getting done. ... I'm going to be forced into the president's spot again, aren't I? XD
Friends: yesterday Fred hosted the third annual end-of-summer Olive Garden trip. He, Max, Erica, Bethany, Es, and I stuffed our faces, and we had an awesome waiter. Everything he said was a joke, but the best came at the end of the evening. I split the bill (it was almost an even six-way split, save mine, Es's, and Bethany's desserts), and only two people paid with cash (shit like that infuriates me, guys. Don't pay by card if you don't ask for separate bills, seriously), so we had to explain how much was to go on each card. Thank goodness they were all the same! I was sitting in the middle of the table, though, so Fred, who's Chinese, handed the cards and the money to the waiter and told him how much to charge.
"Okay. Hey, Asians are pretty good at math, aren't they?"
Laughter. Laughter EVERYWHERE. The guy seriously got like a 30% tip.
Demo ... mou ajiajin da? wwww
But seriously, the food sapped all the energy out of me and I was in bed just after midnight for the first time in forever. Of course, this morning I was woken up after not enough sleep thanks to Bradley's wailing and some lawnmowers.
Home: the tree in the middle of the street was cut down into pieces Wednesday, but they hadn't moved any of it as of about twelve hours ago. I suppose that'll happen today, since tomorrow is garbage day and the sanitation trucks will need to get through. ... I meant to post a picture. >.>;;;
Friday: Abi is now Lady Abigail of Sealand; in honor of Sealand's birthday, I bought her title today. Best. First credit card purchase. Ever. (Her wedding is next spring and I'm one of her bridesmaids, so I needed to get her a nice gift anyway.) ... Where did the time go?
I played some ALttP today. I'm in the fifth Dark World dungeon now. Playing on emulator is tough, man. I nearly died like three times. I've got six Heart Pieces left to find... I can think of where three are hiding. Hmm. It's been a while. XD
