My work weekend was basically a standard one, though I’d thought that it would be a little less annoying, as one of the biggest talkers has moved on to a different job and is therefore no longer around to wax endlessly on the topic of the Nintendo Wii, iPods, and Macs in his patented looping speech pattern that always ends every sentence on an up note as if it’s a question? You know, like this? It’s really annoying? And is normally the province of teenage girls? Not big fat guys in their late twenties or early thirties?
Okay, okay, I’ll stop it.
Just be thankful that there’s really no way for me to accurately replicate the frequent jarring “umm” sound he would make.
Seriously, how can anyone manage to talk for a solid nine hours, day after day, about the same three topics? And who was he even talking to anyway?
Oh well; the fact of the matter is that he is gone, but unfortunately the people who remained behind stepped in to fill the substantial void he left, and so for about five straight hours yesterday my ears were assaulted by extremely loud arguments about, from what I could gather as I sat there trying to tune it all out, basketball players.
When the day was finally over and I got home I opted to order a pizza and (just barely) managed to keep myself from eating the whole thing in one sitting.
I’m not sure why I was so hungry, as I’d done plenty of snacking during the day and had a huge-ass Chipotle burrito for lunch (I had to order Chipotle for lunch, as I’d actually dreamed about getting food from Chipotle in the night).
After that, I pretty much sat around for the rest of the night watching TV and doing some random Web surfing before turning in a bit after midnight.
Today I didn’t do much more.
Tomorrow I take a third crack at getting the emissions inspection done on my car, hopefully completing it in time to meet up with Scott and Stacy to see Ghost Rider at 11:30 (if I can’t, I’ll have to head down to Manassas to meet up with them for a later show).
Tuesday I go in for my rescheduled dentist appointment.
But today? Today I sit on my ass and do not much of anything.
Should be an interesting change of pace.
