Had an awful shrimp poboy - mostly breading. The best part was the bread and mayo.

Just realized that I will be escaping the freezing, snowy winter to lay on a hot beach eating and drinking myself stupid in another country which means I will be unable to participate in Amex November Small Business day, losing out on $120. (On line purchases excluded)

Made it all the way to work before I realized I forgot the one thing I require to actually do my job: my laptop and had to drive all 10 minutes back to my house to get it. Needless to say, nobody even noticed I was half an hour late. =(

I want to buy a snow blower, but I'm working all week. Might have to do it during my lunch, and they'll probably be out of stock so I'll have to wait.

That's what use Floridians call the chicks that pick up the rich snowbirds that come down.

For some genius reason, I decided to use the floor as a hammer today to insert dowels. I could have put the other end of the dowel into the hole it was being attached to and hammered that. On the bright side, I did use a few pieces of cardboard to cushion the floor. Problem: dafuq was I doing?

Fiancée lost a tire last night. Only a year old, had to buy two though because they have been discontinued. :(

Went to store to buy my wife a scarf as a small birthday present. Waited 15 mins in line to pay. It was if no one wanted to my money.

Forgot to take my cell phone out of my jeans pocket before washing a load. Now my cell is really clean, but the screen is a goner. :(

they're moving our desks at work to crap more desks into the same amount of space... as a result, I'm loosing my big, spacious cubicle and getting what's basically like a school library desk with a half-wall separating me and the people around me.

my ATOT neffing time is going to be drastically reduced if I no longer have any privacy at work :'(

(on the plus side, I've been told that they're maybe only temporary so that they can gut the area where we're sitting now and replace it with smaller cubicles, which would be fine with me.... the only real saving grace is that there's only 3 of us here in my department to begin with, and the other two guys spend half the week working offsite)

Chances are privacy or not someone knows about it on the network.
