I slept in until eight o’clock this morning and that was nice. Of course I headed over to the gym to do a little cardio and since it was Friday, Keith, Mike and I worked out legs. There were a couple of people that showed up who had run in the 10K. They were all smug and asked, “where were you? We missed you…” Uhhh, yeah. About that. As soon as this city changes its rules and starts allowing us to run while we wear iPods, I’ll probably start running. But since they don’t allow running with iPods, I probably won’t run.
I had a visitor here yesterday. I used to work with a gentleman named Doug when I was in Boston. Doug will be moving to Kissimmee sometime in the next month or so, but came down for the day to see how things are here. I’m not sure what his job is, but I ran into him every couple of days or so when I was up there. Doug was kind enough to bring me my Delaware flag down to me. When I left Boston I realized that I left my flag in my desk and I was a little sad since I carried that flag with me all over on my last trip. But I have it back now and I plan on hanging it up in my office.
Work today was a little hectic. We all like the late reporting days, but that sometimes doesn’t mean that work slows down. There might be less meetings going on, but that means that the bosses are actually working and passing off work. I didn’t start any new projects, but I made lots of corrections and changes to existing projects that are in the staffing process.
We have a nice new television in our dining room now. Unfortunately there is a syncing problem with the video and the sound. The picture is (no kidding) about 20 seconds off from the audio. It’s really weird, and it makes watching television unwatchable. I hope it’s fixed soon.
And I got a new Michael Chriton book. Well, it was new to me. Or at least I thought it was new. I read the first three pages before I realized that I had read it before. I hate it when that happens. Sometimes I’ve read 20 pages before I get that “Hey this is reeeeal familiar” feeling. Skip to another chapter just to realize that I remember the whole book. What a pain. I threw my book in the book sharing pile and grabbed another book. I have another book that I got from my father that I want to read. That book (Freakonomics) is going to the top of my list.
And that’s what I’m going to do now. I’m going to try to read and just fall asleep. Good night.

Speaking of reading, do you have a copy of the Dover Post? It would be cool to have a picture of you sitting in front of your Delaware flag, reading the Dover Post.
ReplyDeleteYay, Doug!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hate that book realization. I bought one recently, and was SO excited to get it (it was the sequel to another I'd read). I started reading, and it was familiar, but I chalked it up to the tendency of series(es?) I read to publish a "sneak peek" of the next book at the end of the current one. I kept reading past Chapter 1 and it was still familiar. Then details from later on started pinging in my brain. I started flipping, and realized I had ALREADY read the whole thing! No clue where the darn book is (it's only been out for a year or so, but I can't find it in the house). I was SO peeved at having wasted another $5 on a book I already read. It's a good one, but not THAT good.
I just took a look at your Amazon wishlist. I need to dig up (and finish reading) my copy of "Armageddon, the Musical" so I can send it to you. The first part was hilarious, but something I'd pre-ordered arrived and distracted me. Please keep your wishlist up to date! Especially stuff Amazon will ship directly, thus eliminating my tendency toward procrastination.
