TGIF!
Fridays aren't supposed to suck!
The day started out bad and then got progressively worse.
It all started when I took Benji out for his morning walk. Gave him a couple of French commands. He went oui, oui! Then I ran into a neighbor and started chatting for a while, and then Benji started biting my pant leg. I guess he was getting bored and wanted some attention. So, I picked him up and he bit my hand! Jeez! I tried not to show the pain in my face. I didn't want my neighbor to see that I had little or no control over my doggie. I know he's just a pup but I find it really embarrassing when he starts attacking me in front of my neighbors. I held him by the scruff, like the trainer told me, and took him back home.
Then I left for work and stopped over at Starbucks for my morning fix, only to find they were OUT OF SOY MILK! OUT OF SOY MILK? How does that happen? I mean, don't they take inventory? For fucks sake all I ask is that I have my Vente Soy 1 equal wet cappaccino in the morning! I wish I had a picture of my reaction to this godawful news! I basically just headed for the door and one of the baristas walked over and said, "Hold on, here's a coupon for a free coffee." I thanked her and left.
I then stopped at the Dunkin' Donuts down the road. It's new. My first time there. The crowd there was different in a scary sort of way. I ordered my "Coffee Regular" translation: Medium coffee with cream and sugar. I was surprised that they knew this, but they did. Dunkin' Donuts has it's own lingo too. Only difference is that they simplify the order instead of overcomplicating it.
Ok. So, now I have my coffee. I had put some neosporin on my bite wound which was swelling up. Then there's a friggin' parade. On a Friday morning? They basically closed the street that I have to take to work, so I had to take a detour. Now I'm really late.
I finally reached work around 10ish. I sneak into my office quietly. Then it's meeting time. Great. We have about 25 open requirements and nothing's covered. My boss stomps in and he is giving me all kinds of attitude and questioning me about why he hasn't gotten any resumes. I am trying to come up with some answers for him but they sound really bad as I hear the words coming out of my mouth. Everyone can feel the tension in the room. You could cut it with knife.
I spend the rest of the day working really, really hard to cover everything. Which sucks, cause I hate working really, really hard on Fridays. Fridays are for long lunches or early happy hours. Chatting on the phone with your friends and making plans for the weekend. Not for working really, really hard. Then my boss gives me some more attitude. I had some words with him. I walked back in my office and said, "Screw you" (under my breath)
When 5 o'clock approached, I suddenly stopped caring about everything that happened today. I shut down my computer and packed up my shit and said goodbye to everyone. I told my boss, "Have a great weekend!" with a smile on my face. He gave me an equally fake, "You too!" And I was out of there!!
TGFIAO! (Thank God Friday Is Almost Over!)

I slipped out of the office early yesterday--and nobody noticed (at least I think nobody noticed).
I love the weekend...

On Fridays, RUN do not walk to the exits!!!
Friday has come and gone and Saturday is almost over. Why do we have a five day work week and only two days for fun?! It should be the other way around.
