Its all set: John and I leave Friday at 10:55 in the AM. Man, I hate flying.
We had some 2 hour class today about ethics and complience at work. It
was boring, they showed us one of those cheesy videos with stupid
people, alhtough they did give us a free stress ball person thingy. The
rest of work was very very slow, we were not busy at all.We were supposed to all meet at Gino’s East at 6:30. Because of the
snow, I heard that the roads were very very bad, so I pretty much left
right after work to head over there. I got on the road about 5:15, and
much to my suprise, it only took about a half hour. I sat in the car
for about 15 minutes before going in. It was 6, and I was a half hour
early. I waited, and waited, and waited. I called Dave twice and Keith
and Heather once. No dice. Nobody picked up. Finally, shortly after 7,
I gave up and left. I drove to Keith and Heather’s, but nobody was
there. So, I went home. I heard a couple of messages on the machine
from Kelli and Heather both saying that they weren’t going. I called
Scooty, he said they had just left IHOP. Damn. All this could have been
avoided if I had just had a cell phone. But, no! I refuse to get one
and will still refuse to get one.I was starving, so I went to Subway to get a delicious meatball
sandwhich, on their great Italian Pramasean bread. The girl behind the
counter said they were all out of all bread except white, wheat, and
honey-oat wheat. And, they only had 6 inchs of each. So, if I wanted a
footlong, I would have to mix and match. I was very hungry, so I mixed
and matched. I’m not sure, but I think the girl taking my order was
flirting with me. She asked me what I was doing for Thanksgiving. Then,
she asked me if I had a footlong for her………….wait, she didn’t
ask that. But, she asked me if I was having turkey for Thanksgiving. I
said that “it damn well better be a turkey, because thats what it says
on the package. I would be pretty suprised if I opened it and it was,
say, a salmon, or a chicken.” This turkey banter continued for a few
minutes. She gave me my total and it was right about then that I
realized I did not have my wallet with me. Damn! What a fucking night.
I went back home and got it, and promptly returned. I said “Hi. I have
a sandwhich on lay-a-way.” She laughed and we completed the
transaction. I told her I had checked and it was indeed a turkey that I
had at my house.Although most of my night has been very crappy, one very good thing
which really made my day is the fact that Dori is in town! I shall see
her hopefully tonight, if not then tomorrow.
