Turkey Day
Wednesday
7:15-Wake up before the alarm clock goes off. This is a bad sign as I could have slept in and gone in to work a little later, oh well
9:00 after hanging around the house and discovering the youtube clip of nate robinson swatting yao, I leisurely make it into work. As I am the only americorps person staff or member in the office I dont expect to get much done.
11:00 I am now amazed at the amount of work I have gotten done. Its amazing my level of productivity when nothing is around to distract. I return phone calls and reply to emails. I make appointments and schedule sight visits. Basically I got a weeks worth of work done in two hours because there were no distractions. Seems like I should be able to take advantage of this knowledge.
11:45 About to leave work I refresh the email one more time and recieve an email that requires drastic rescheduling on my part before I can leave the office.
11:52 Phone rings, why do people always wait until Im about to leave before they call, I swear its a conspiracy.
11:59 emails are finished and Im off the phone (this required serious multi tasking but again its amazing what Im capable of while by myself). I start shutting down my computer so I can go home. Windows chooses this as a good time to install updates. I wait for this to happen just knowing the phone will ring while I wait. Its eerie how much this moment resembles a scene from office space.
12:07 I have left the office and am stopping at the bank before heading to Boston. My cell phone rings, shit I knew this was too good to be true.
12:15 hang up the cell phone, group projejct details all ironed out
*** the next several hours involved me traveling by car and train to get into boston. I will spare the details as nothing all that exciting happened. I did eat some delicious bourbon chicken though.
4:30 The needle shoots through my eyebrow like a hot knife through butter. I expected it too hurt much more, sweet break for me.
7:00 after some more train riding sit down for a delicious dinner with mels and her parents, the timing was strategically planned so that we could al make it home in time for the Gonzaga North Carolina game.
9:00 (approx) Gonzaga UNC game starts, keep in mind I am with two UNC grads and the daughter of two UNC grads, there is no way this can go well.
9:15 (approx) This is not good at all, Gonzaga has yet to score and they are down 12-0. Those crazy UNC fans sure are enjoying this.
10:?? Halftime and Gonzaga is going in with the lead. I am exhausted and decide to quite with the game while I am ahead. I got an early race to run Turkey Day morning.
Thursday
7:03 Alarm clock goes off, first thought, screw the race I want to go back to sleep.
7:05 I payed $23 to run this race and its non refundable, I better get out of bed
7:30 Leave for race
7:45 Arrive at race location and sign in. Apparently I registered like 23 people to late and dont get a T-shirt, tough break.
8:00 its freaking cold, I wish I got that free T-shirt
8:25 find open building to stretch in where it is nice and warm, sweet
8:52 join 2000 other people lined up in the street for the start of the race, by the way it has decided to start raining.
9:00 Why isnt the race starting, I dont feel like standing around in the rain
9:05 still waiting WTF
9:07 Race starts here we go.
9:35 cross the finish line, not a great time for 4 miles, but not bad.
9:40 into the bar for some free Guinness with my fellow racers
10:03 Find out that Gonzaga won the previous night against UNC, the gloating will begin soon
10:30 With a pace almost as fast as my running I have finished my sixth Guinness and am now drunk, boo-yah
Rest of the day: Booz, Turkey, Booz, Booz, Sleep.
That is all
