I am the real Doobie Keebler

twicketfaceLast night I got Marie her Christmas present. We went shopping and she found just the right pea coat. I'm all about results. I said to Marie that we are hip in our own way. Instead of being fashionably late, we're usually early for get togethers. And instead of being on top of the latest fashion trend, we usually lag a good 5 years behind. We also got groceries and then came home. I gloriously beat Terry in fantasy football 92-77. I'm 7-4 and tied with Eric for the lead.
This morning I had a seminar with my new boss for the local chapter of SHRM. Long story = short, I ended up sitting right next to the woman who interviewed me for a job I didn't get. Awkward, thy name is me. Not a big deal, but still not something I was prepared to deal with at 7:30 in the am.
I forgot to mention that Matt and I solved the eternal riddle of why women take a long time in the bathroom whilst celebrating the bachelor party. Women (from our experience) don't like to make a lot of noise in the bathroom. Sad to deprive themselves of a good toilet symphony, but so it goes. So when there are a group of women in the bathroom together, it's this tense environment where the one to make a peep (or a poop) first comes off as un-ladylike. Hence, so much time and energy is spent minimizing a very natural experience. Perhaps this is why women go in groups, for moral support.
I like to think of people as up to something.
Marie has a stamping party tonight, so I'll be hitting the Y and spending some quality time with the CD burner. I also have to call my dad, as I've noticed 2 of my 4 headlights have ceased working. Not good when it gets dark around 4:00.
The rest of the day was pretty much okay. I did some paperwork with a new employee who was very complimentary and appreciative. Nice to have some recognition for the department that usually doesn't get any.
I also had a brief conversation with my Boss where she actually treated me like a person! Small victories are all I can hope for at this point.
I'd like a pocket watch, one that clips to my belt. That is all.
