Work

Well, it finally got a little busy for me this week at work and all I can say is THANK YOU!!! It was nice to actually have to prioritize and manage my time. I like that. Next week should be somewhat busy too, so I'm very much looking forward to it.

We played spades to day. My partner Sause bid first with a nil. D$ bid 7. Well, I had a pretty decent 4 hand. Jefe picked up his cards and bid 3 for a 10-for-2oo. I knew I could get three because I had 3 aces. I was able to protect Sause's nil and cut D$ and Jefe for a nice 340-point swing that turned the game in our favor.

So yesterday I needed laundry done and I thought I'd switch it up for the folks at work since I basically wear the same thing everyday (jeans & t-shirt). Now I didn't look this good...


...but I looked pretty nice. I got a lot of different remarks, which I'll enumerate here:
  • Is that you?
  • I didn't recognize you. I thought you were a new employee.
  • Did we have an audit today I didn't know about?
  • I keep looking over at you and wondering who you are.
  • Are you taking C to a nice restaurant tonight?
  • Do you have a formal spades game today?
  • Wow! Look at you.
However, the most telling comment came from my 2 & 1/2 year old. As I walked into the kitchen for breakfast she asked perplexedly "Where are you going Daddy? You going to work?" So yes, I'm that predictable. Needless to say I got needled today when I came in wearing my normal togs.

Have a great weekend.

Hook 'em!
