How I Spent My Birthday Evening

[jdotmi]

I got home from work a little late yesterday. There was an accident on I94 West, then just ahead of that there was a Semi pulled over. Then just off the exit to Jackson Road there was ANOTHER Semi pulled over. Fortunately, that was on the other side of the road and didn't contribute more to my delay. I then opted to not take 23 home and instead took Whitmore Lake Road home. Drove by the new High School. It's pretty nice looking, I must say.

Got home, declared that I wanted my birthday dinner to be pizza. satyr_mi thought I was going to say I wanted to go out for dinner, which I was actually worried he would want to do, because I really just wanted pizza. :-p We verified that we are no longer poor (yay refund deposits) and promptly paid two months worth of my car payment (I was behind o_o). So, we're pretty much caught up now on everything.

I played some Civ IV, chatted with some people online, played a little bit of WoW on Whisperwind (Aggramar was down for hardware upgrades). Listened to some music mixes that satyr_mi was working on. Then I opted to go to bed early since I hadn't been getting to bed at a decent hour all week. It almost worked out, too, until my work phone rang at 1:30 in the morning, confusing the hell out of me. ~_~

So, this morning? I'm at work. I normally don't work on Fridays, but since it is a holiday week (monday was Labor Day here in the US) I'm not working 10 hour shifts like I normally do. I'm working 8 hour shifts and I had Monday off, meaning I'm here today. It's all good. I only have 70 cases right now... x_x I can typically close between 6 to 12 a day, for the record. And, uh, I got 10 since I left yesterday...

So... Yeah. Back to work for me!

My still sleep-addled brain is unable to recall if I wished you a proper Happy Bday yesterday or not, bad Blake, but just in case I missed your post ... HAPPY BELATED BDAY! :)

Too bad your place of work is in Ann Arbor, or I'd debate putting in an application when I'm back to working. It's just a bit too far for me to commute to from Southgate. :(

You did, but thank you again!

And, yeah. I don't recommend long commutes to anyone, and I know we have some crazy people working here who live in OHIO! o_O

That's how bad I am when I first wake up. I usually take a good half-an-hour for the brain to join the body in actually being alert and moving. It's like a slow booting computer, it's really funny. It's much faster if it's an adrenaline wakeup moment, I respond quickly to emergencies.

I've been sluggish all day. I'm just not used to be awake early on Fridays at all.

It sounds like a perfectly lovely evening.

Except the whole "70 cases" thing. That just kind of sucks.

Yeah. I get to go home in just over an hour though, so it's not all bad at the moment.
