What the hell?

oh, but the extra hour *does* make a difference

the subways aren't crowded, seats abound, and I actually had time to put
makeup on this morning (without looking like residual reminders from the
night before).

sigh.

midol is slowly working it's wonders, and I'm pleasantly looking forward
to the rest of today. so what if there's testing to be done that i know
next-to-nothing-about. so what if I have to read a 75+ page paper this
weekend. so what if it's going to sprinkle on and off for the long
weekend. the point is - there *is* a long weekend. AND i'm going
swimming dammit.

this morning I drank a thirst quenching Gatorade - loved it.

last night dinner consisted of two slices from a medium sized pie,
cookies, and 2.5 beers. the roomies dredged in the pizza, and penne ala
vodka...and apparently a six-pack of budweiser. It's the only way I can
think of to segue into the 40 (yes) that one of them purchased the day
before.

they're out of weed, and may repeat last year's episode of visiting
manhattan over the 4th just to rendevous with the dealer at a starbucks.
who knew starbucks was a place of choice for so many independent
consultants" ;)

I have to say - working in cubes can actually be a very good thing. the
dude who normally sits behind me (listening to every word of my personal
conversations) has been out on vaca. the email queue is pretty silent
with people starting the weekend early, and my neighbors are all
blissfully quiet. and for that I'm grateful.

i continue to be perplexed by the cutie brit who is playing the
avoidance game, since our bar incident. (i was out for drinks with a
former colleague who misread it as a date. apparently the brit and the
colleague despise each other. unsure if i'm being grouped by default.)

whatever. will post this and go my merry way. promises to post on a more
regular basis using email. have a good holiday charlie. don't get
sunburned. and start posting some pictures before all of my hair turns
grey.
