Indeed I braved amateur night and went out to the 'Box for some green beer. The place was fairly busy, and I pulled up a seat next to Darrel at the short side of the bar. Chris and Jen P were tending bar... Court-naaaaaaaaaay and new girl were waiting tables.

I slammed my obligatory two bud lights with green dye then switched back to the usual poison of choice. Darrel and I wandered into the usual bizarre engineering topics, and then he left for the night.

I was pulling up my tab as Lori #1 and Brad showed up from the Nickelback concert. (booooooo nickleback).

I was a bit amused that GT opted to go home. I guess sleeping in her own bed (versus the State's) was important.

Two friends of my sister and her hubby showed up. One refuses to drink during Lent.. the other looked hammered.

I made the rounds saying 'good bye' to the regulars, but had to interrogate Kayla if she was at the horse show where some idiot mother (who "didn't know horses") had her child behind a horse and said horse kicked the kid in the face. That was not Kayla's event nor her work (she works with horses in the spring/summer/fall). I then felt it necessary to espouse my long time desire to have a hyena (named Gingersnaps) and monkey (named Proust).

Quite amusing. Kayla and her friend thought it was ever such a delightful idea. Keith was a bit glazed over and was staring at the wall.

Heading home there were definitely heavy cop presence. Many folks pulled over.

Some yahoo made a giant wide turn out of Clancy's off 168th and Center narrowly missing Bubbi and I. Thankfully this idiot swung back two lanes to go east on center.

My concern now is Mark - the probie and brother to Paul - has been hacking and snorting for about ten days now. This morning I woke up to a stuffed up head and a fist full of snot blown from my nose. Did I mention I have to share an office with Probie and at this very minute is five feet away from me. If I get ill because of him there might be consequences.

I miss my dark solitary office. I don't mournz it yet, but I probably will. At least I don't have Sticks as my officemate, unlike Falloutboy. Sticks has very... smelly lunches similar (but not as bad) as Meeting?'s lunches.
