5-minute Friday meme

[mandolin]

I say five minutes because that's all the time I'm giving myself to do it in. Got this from athersgeo.

Friday means:

1) getting up at the crack of dawn to get to work early and thus get out early

2) waiting (im)patiently for Bleach-Society's next fansub of Bleach

3) preparing to make a (usually spontaneous) trip south to Annapolis, west to Fredneck or north to Bel Air

4) going out to lunch since 95% of the people I eat with always go out to lunch just for the sake of going out on Friday

5) bearing witness to at least one division war-related bit of insanity at work (yeah, the picnic's over, but it's Friday and I'm waiting for the response to the poster someone made)

Tagging: violetbloom, kevenn, jonathlee, marielogan, spacebabie and jennies

Okay, need to do my hair, find my shoes, and get on the lovely wet road.

(BTW, while the anime's slow, my current music? "Air" has one of the nicer opening theme songs. I would love to find a full version of this song.)

Well, every Friday is different for me. There's just no predicting what I'll be up to next. So I am going to write about today, Friday, October 7th.

Friday means:

1)Driving down the highway on the way to work and watching in complete awe as an actual, fair dinkum' early 1970's vintage Pinto (somewhat modern day Edsel), with oil blowing out the tail pipes, and body beaten and rusted almost beyond recognition, barrels along the pavement toward me. (I laughed hysterically. LOL!!)

2)Getting an emergency phone call from a customer in a state of agitation and panick because two (only two) phone sets in their VERY LARGE company are out of commission. They expect a technician to show up within minutes. *sigh* There are people in New Orleans without homes, and their town is overgrown with obnoxious mold, but this customer's situation is far worse. The technician dutifully drops his tools from the site he is on, a site with *real* issues that *really* are important. He hops in the company chopper, and almost dies of maniacle laughter when he arrives to the new site. The customer's "two non working phones" have the handsets transposed. *headdesk!!!* Two phones, side by side, each with the other's handset in the cradle. Dohhhhh!!!.

3)Making arrangements with a couple friends to have a couple appies and red wine at Hush, the local gay bar, after work. None of us are gay (though we are quite happy), but the people at Hush are incredibly friendly and too much fun to be around. Hee!!!

4)Being in an involved discussion with a technician regarding a complex trunking problem a local customer is having. With manuals on the table, almost isolating three likely causes of the trouble, in walks a 5 foot male offspring of Gilbert Godfried and Carol Channing. Without any regard for what we are up to, he starts spouting off in a Gotfried/Channing like voice, "Hi I used to deliver the Victoria News here but it got cancelled. Now I have the Sears Catalogue. And this is a business! Well what do you know?....." Yeah, right. Woooeeeooooo! Halloween is in 3 weeks buddy. Come back then. LOL! (We've never subscribed to any magazines, and that coupled with this guys act, after the insane week we've had, was a real gut buster. LOL!)

5)And the obvious... No more work. Yay!!! And this is a long weekend to boot. Planning wonderous hiking trips and an outing at the movies with friends on Sunday.
