Being a good corporate drone is no fun...

I was going to say it sucks but I didn't want that on the title... I have been chained to my desk busily building all the stuff that was needed for this external audit next week. Why? Oh yeah that paycheck thing... *sigh*

So... Friday commute in - no big deal. I like Friday morning commutes. Didn't want to get out of bed to go... but that is simply being redundant - it's like saying things over and over again don't you know.

Made my 8:30 AM meeting, I didn't have anything productive to say today so it was a quick meeting. Then I sat at my desk and and busily worked hard until I realized it was 11:46 and I was meeting a friend for lunch at 12 noon... rush rush hurry hurry.. and ahhh lunch out. Very nice. Chat, chat stories exchanged, show off the anniversary bling, then (insert drudge music here) back to the desk... and I've been here ever since... but as I said yesterday I am just the corporate drone taking her place on the giant cog of the spinning wheel... not that I'd get any recognition for a job well done or anything...

On the up side I am well ahead of where I thought I would be today - so that is a good thing, and I can send it out to folks and get feedback and be in a good place come Wednesday. Crude - I just realized that I won't get to work form home this week!! Maybe Friday we'll see.

I have just also realized that my brain is dead - I'm going to head to Target, pick up my vacation pictures, think about buying Halloween candy and head home... then listen to Shelby bark until Bubba gets home - then she lays down and goes to sleep - I annoy her when she does that - just because I can.

Also shopping for gifts for the nieces... it's Penguins shirts all the way and it's mostly a poke in the eye to my brother-in-law who chooses to root for another team (loser). AND I'm doing it because I can... and I'm a stinker. (hee hee hee) We did a name exchange for Christmas presents - I can't deal with this just yet.. nope. Although I did see Christmas stuff in some store this week... gah! It's still flipping October.

Bubba is not leaving town this weekend... he'll be home for another week, which means I've got to go to the grocery store some time this weekend, laundry can wait until Sunday - and heaven help me what as to what he thinks he's got planned... me? It involves quiet weekend at home, with my puppies and possibly dinner in. Definitely dinner in.

Pens play tonight and this weekend, Steelers are off, and the neighbors are sporting Yankee jerseys. Fun time in Suburban Maryland - white bread and mayonnaise for everyone. ;-)

We'll chat more tomorrow.
