I swear to god if I hear this song again…. I’ll just let it keep on playing. It is such a great song.

I’m playing hooky from work today. Well, kind of. I have a conference call at 9:30 that should prove to be incredibly boring: A bunch of people talking about stuff that they want, and me telling them that I know exactly how to do and that it wouldn’t take that long to do, except that I am booked solid for the next six months or so, and even then, since they are not in my department other people’s work would end up jumping on top of theirs. I love it when I get to be the bad guy.

I need to get the following done today:


  • Go to second inspection place to have them say I have to go to Dallas County
  • Go to recommended inspection location to have them tell me they are also not Dallas County, but only after giving me an oil change
  • Go to recommended inspection place to find that they have two hour wait
  • Go to recommended inspection place to have truck inspected
  • Pay rent
  • Take out the trash
  • Pack bags for trip
  • Clean cat box
  • Deposit check from Jaclyn
  • Do laundry
  • Clean out ice chest
  • Get contacts from front office
  • Accidentally (hA!) look down the blouse of the front office lady
  • Check mail
  • Sit on stupid conference call for 2 hours.
  • Return Jaclyn’s movie to ballbuster so she doesn’t owe them $1,000,000

Here is the stuff I wanted to do but will in no way have time to do it:


  • Make a CD for the trip
  • Get a new drum head
  • Try to reinstate insurance
  • Do dishes
  • Get campfire chairs from David

Here is the stuff I am going to get at Wal-Mart with Joel:


  • Film
  • Batteries
  • Tiki Torches
  • Matches
  • Rope
  • Snack Food
  • Pepsi
  • 2 12-packs of condoms

Here is the stuff I am borrowing from Emily:


  • Tent

And here is the stuff I need to pack (in addition to what I buy at Wal-Mart):


  • 3 pairs of pants
  • 3 t-shirts
  • 2 long sleeve shirts
  • 2 warm pull over type things
  • a jacket
  • toilet paper
  • sun screen
  • writing book and pen
  • Coffee mug
  • Duct tape (how can you leave home without it?)
  • A towel
  • 4 pairs of boxers
  • 4 pairs of socks
  • 2 pairs of contacts
  • glasses
  • hair brush

  • A knife

This list may get longer. If I’ve forgotten anything, please let me know.
