Title: Cinco de Mayo

...Spanish for "We want a day off to drink beer".   :-) :cheersmate:

Hoping today is a day without rain for a change.  7.5" since Friday.

Still overcast, but no precip falling at the moment.  High is supposed to get up to 64.  I'm sure once the sun comes out the humidity will crank through the roof!   Supposed to have a ball game tonight, which I hope we get to play, since I'll be missing the next three!

Packing and making sure Mr Flame knows the schedule for the next few days!

Overcast with sprinkles here and there.  High of 53 today, low tonight of 41.  Bleah.

Considered working OT today, but am doing it every day the rest of this week and on Saturday.  Maybe a "normal" workday would be better.  Don't want to get burnout.

Will also be working 6-12's all next week.  Getting off after 10 hours today sounds like a real good idea.

Pulled the trigger on dumping Ferrell gas for our propane. The shitsticks force you to call them and scream at them on a regular basis just to get them to compete at fair rates.

I will not miss them one iota.

We are leaving today to visit a casino or two.  Be back Thursday.   :p

I had an interesting night yesterday.  The rain that came through knocked my power out until early this morning.  All my food is probably gone.  For entertainment, I took the emergency light from my car and hooked it to a spare motorcycle battery I had lying around so I could read.  It was interesting but I didn't sleep very well.  Working overtime yesterday did not help.  At least I got a hot shower before work today.

Been home from work awhile... took a nap, took a final (online)...got a 96, so I'm very satisfied.   :cheersmate:

Now, I'm arguing with some asshole on SpaceWars (on Facebook)... After he put a million-dollar bounty on me, I went after him in retaliation.  He left a smart-ass remark on my Facebook in response, and now.... well, we'll see what happens when the dust settles.  :hammer:    God, I spend too much time on the interwebz!  :mental: :lmao:

There were very few salespeople at my office today. I think they were all off celebrating Cinco de Mayo. On a positive, the ride home was quick tonight. I think everyone was enjoying those margaritas.

We went to the gym to work out tonight. No margaritas for us.

Celebrated by taking my best friend and her roomies to the local Spaghetti Factory for dinner tonight. Every Tuesday this month they're celebrating their 40th aniversary by reducing their prices by 40%....4 people eating for less than $10 each is a good deal.
