Last couple days

So I've been somewhat out of touch the last few days... Quick re-cap.

Tuesday
Meeting with the people I worked with for the intranet install to discuss how the project went and get clien feedback. Client feedback was along the lines of (and I got a very funny email about this):
"Holy shit! It is done?"
"I thought this was going to take weeks..."
"Are you single? Can I bear your children?"
"Do you do windows or mow lawns too?"

So... I'd say a success. But a long meeting talking about the project, wrapping up some documentation for it, talking about up-coming work, and then a nice dinner out a Jake's Grill downtown ( pretty nice steakhouse ) and then a late trip back home. At which point I had spent soo much time in an office chair in the last week I didn't really want to sit down at my desk again.

Wednesday
In theory, this was supposed to be a relaxing day of de-compressing and just getting back into the swing of things.

It started out well, caught up on sleep. By which I mean I slept until about 1pm before dragging my arse out of bed and grabbing a shower and getting laundry and dishes done. Had a weeks worth of both to do, tend to get that way during busy projects. Just let it stack up in the sink or in the 'dirty clothes basket' until they are in danger of breaking/burying me or the project ends and doing them.

Took a walk to the grocery store, got some food, got home and had some 'guests come over' for the evening.

'Guests come over' is one of those code-phrases that I speak, but don't type as much. By which I mean friends come over who stayed long enough to make themselves unwelcome or else I'd say I had some 'friends stop by'.

Quick way to make yourself unwelcome:
1) Descend upon my home and grab control of the TV to make me watch a show I have in the past expressed no interest in, or a movie I went out of my way not to see at the theater, just because you think it is great and really want to share it with (force it upon) me.
2) Show up right around dinner time, not having eaten, with no warning, and expecting me to have / prepare food for you.
3) Visit me only when you have problems and expect me to somehow come up with a comprehensive set of solutions for you.
4) Be in a fight with other mutual friends and expect me to take sides.

Or, if you are feeling really creative, do what they did on Wednesday and manage all four at once. *sighs*
1) I am really not that interested in Lost. For some reason, it just comes across to me as 'Survivor: Twin Peaks' and just doesn't keep my interest. For some reason, trying to force me to watch the pilot episode (again, I did see it the first time around) was supposed to fix that.
2) I was making spaghetti anyways, and was scratch-making a meat sauce and had leftover hamburger I had intended for a meat loaf, so that at least wasn't too burdensome to make a larger batch of sauce.
3) I am a single, heterosexual, male. If you are a homosexual female in a relationship, why in gods name do you think I am the person to come to when you need advice on how to keep things interesting?
4) I realize our token white catholic conservative republican friends frown upon your liberal independant multi-ethnic lesbian girlfriend, but as I am neither them nor you why should I be taking sides in this matter? If you don't like them, don't pay attention to them. Don't try to make me get involved in your fight.

Anyways, that kept me from logging in at the computer last night as it went on until way too late in the day.

Today
My hattrick team got activated so I've spent some time this morning firing the old coach, putting some players out in the hiring pool, bidding on the contracts of some other players and going through the managers license exam.

Still in pajamas, need to get dressed and head up to the grocery store again in a little bit to replenish my meat supply and poke around to see if any aquatic life is on sale. I have an urge to eat something that lived in salt water today, if nothing is on sale I'll probably grab some take-out sushi from the sushi place on my way back home.

Planning on spending some time in the CoX games tonight. Been a few days since I've been on (may not have logged in since Friday) and feeling the urge to blow something up.

Also, and I just remembered this and fixing this now, realizing that my cel phone charges better when I have the charger plugged in. Keep forgetting that I unplugged the phone charger to plug the space heater in. Spent yesterday without a cel phone because of that and the battery is abysmally low today.

I've actually ran out of things to say a paragraph back and at this point I am just rambling onwards to see if people actually read this much of the posts that I write or if your eyes have already glossed over and you've gone on to read another blog by now.
