It’s 7:30 in the morning and I’m sitting here in shorts and a t-shirt putting together a cookie-cutter blog because I can’t think of anything interesting to do.
I could go to work, of course, but that’s just not interesting.
In just 5 short days, I’m free for two weeks. Still haven’t decided when exactly I’ll leave the friendly confines of Atlanta and head for the great unwashed north. That’s not important. What is important is that I won’t be compelled to go to work next Monday. Actually, half of the people in the country won’t have to go to work next Monday (it being a holiday and all), but I don’t really care about them. I won’t have to go to work Tuesday, either. Or Wednesday.
Hell, I won’t have to go until two weeks after Monday.
But what to do this weekend. That’s the toughie. Chattanooga is looking like a reasonable place to spend a couple of days before I head for the far north (Ontario, for those of you keeping track). I’d also thought about Savannah, Jekyl Island, or any other beach…and Washington, D.C. That’d be a fun culture swing, huh? From D.C. on July 4th to Magenetawan on July 6th.
I sort of watched a movie last night. Shark Tales was, I think, the name of it. It’s a cute little Dreamworks animated piece that seemed to have an unstated theme of “be nice to gay people.” As I’m already nice to gay people, and as I worked (literally) all night Saturday, I fell asleep halfway through it. Was going to watch Raising Helen after that, but opted (wisely) to just leave the television on while I fell asleep again.
I really dread working this week. Too many deadlines that I can’t hope to meet, and I’m sure I’ll be inundated with little digs from Scott this morning because I left yesterday morning (after I’d completed all of my stuff) without mentioning to him or anyone else that I was leaving. He and Jay then spent the next three hours calling me at home to whine about that fact.
I wonder if I can even get to this page at work. I doubt it. More than likely, the internet Nazis will have it blocked because “blog” appears in the URL.
Be interesting to find out, though.
Oh! I need to once again subject my laptop to the horrors involved with the installation of AOL for a couple of weeks. I wonder if those people will ever figure out that I have no intention of actually signing up for their service… Every year, I take advantage of their “40 Gazillion Hours Free!” offer for two weeks (in Canada), and every year I get back to Atlanta and cancel. It’s not like I came up with the offer…
Must get ready for work.
