It's been a looong day

[lillian13]

I was at work at 7:15 this morning (shut up, wolfshark !) to conduct software training via phone and Net Meeting to a couple of really nice writers in Bangalore. I would have left work at 4:15 (making up time for leaving early for class two days a week), but we had a Quarterly Business Meeting. Kind of a pointless meeting, since we will be hearing everything that was Power Pointed to us today at much greater length tomorrow at the company-wide meeting.

And I get to get up and do it all over again on Thursday. Oy.

On a better note, the show on Saturday went swimmingly, despite the Nephew not showing up to help me unload/setup. When I finally reached him he was very, very apologetic and when he showed up that evening he really did the lion's share of lifting and toting for me. (So I relented and took him to see Iron Man 2 along with my friend G. It was very fun and you must stay through the credits. I made a very embarrassing noise at that little extra bit, lemme tell ya.)

I had two very nice things happen to me on Sunday (not counting seeing RDJ in Iron Man 2):

I called a local radio station, hoping to find the name of a song I'd heard on Saturday--which made me laugh so loud I almost drive off the road. The DJ took almost 15 minutes going through Staff Picks, etc. to find it for me, to no avail. But he tried, and told me when to check back on their website to find it. After the movie I moseyed over to the box office to ask if I could get anything back on the 2 tickets I'd bought for a show the day before and didn't use. I got rainchecks! Woo hoo! Movies! (It probably helped that I was polite about the whole thing, since I honestly didn't expect anything back.)

Now I need to decide--do I bake something for the last day of jewelry class or just buy a bunch of sno cones on the way in?
