Mission: Impossible--Wednesday Edition
Dec. 17th, 2003 12:40 amSo here's the plan for tomorrow:
1)Survive the workday without killing anyone--this will be a big thing. Really. So far the week has been to me. We've been busy, and the boss has been busy enough to stay (mostly) out of my proverbial hair. Also, the experts and attorneys have been pretty nice so far (with a couuple of notable exceptions, but this is the nature of the beast), and things have been flowing well. The real question is will the other shoe drop, and if so, how far, how hard, and will it be on me.
2)Find Food--This will be the quick and dirty, and hopefully not the too greasy. Ah, I'm loving Subway these days. But Dinner of some sort must be happening, as the full armor for a good wednesday night.
3)Watch The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King--Zip zoom through crazy traffic to beat off the fellow geek kids, and find Mom and Grandma in line and go see the film...all 3 hours and 20 minutes of it. I bought the tickets today (they had to enter the times in just for me, and a good thing too, because the next five people in line wanted tickets for tomorrow evening as well). Mom is taking off the afternoon from work, and grandma has not only been watching both extended movies over and over again over the last three days, but she stopped drinking coffee or sodas four days ago to ensure that she doesn't have to hit the stalls umpteen times during the film. Good call. Now, if I can get outta work early...
4)Brave traffic--yeah, I do this all the time, but I'm on a schedule this time (so what else is new) and I've got like 40 miles between me and Hollywood when I get out of the movie. It'll be "Love you mom, granny, see you later!" and ZOOM SWOOSH! I'm off.
5)Dance, and Drink, and send off Transmission with a "Grande Huzzah!!" (I refuse to say "with a bang" for various reasons)--The trick will be to get there without killing myself, others, the car's transmission; find parking; get a drink or two before it goes to $4, and say hi to Liz, and everyone in there; dance dance dance; and get home again jiggity jig and get up to work in the morning.
Your mission, Mr. Antoniusrex, should you choose to accept it, is to do the aforementioned 5 things without loosing your mind or falling asleep. Good luck, Mr. Antoniusrex. As usual, your friends will deny any acknowledgement of your existance should you ass up. This entry will self destruct in 5 seconds...
