things on fire
I'll be honest: I really want some hot wings from Asylum right now. In fact, I'm whiningly pleading my case with Kara over IM at this very second. There is money in the bank. The fact that said funds are already earmarked for spending on other, more bill-related things, is a given, of course. So, I will not be participating in any bar-related activities in the near future.
This will not stop me from complaining about it, though.
I worked from home today, and it was good. I got a fair amount done, which is also good. I think I have a decent plan for how to go forward on the Big Project that is due in mid-December. It's going to be a veritable PHP juggernaut.
Something also caught on fire mid-afternoon--not literally, but in the figurative, business sense of the word, wherein Number A doesn't match Number B, and chaos ensues. I believe the flames are now extinguished. However, hearing that the CEO knows about said problem can add considerably to the consternation one might feel if it turns out that it was your fault.
Which it wasn't, but still...you know that feeling you get when you wake up after a bender and there's a bowl in front of you containing Cheetos and barbeque sauce, and you don't understand why your pants have all those grass stains on them, and you have a suspicion that the blinking "bridge out" sign in the living room might be your doing? I mean, you don't THINK it was, but it MIGHT have been...or maybe you just dared the guy to steal it. But either way, you're involved. You were THERE.
Yeah, well, that's the feeling.
So I'm gonna go for a walk. But now I can't stop thinking about how Cheetos and barbeque sauce might actually taste good. If I were a betting man, I'd say that a visit to Safeway might be in my immediate future.
Addendum: Matt's blog looks different, and cool.
