Went to an Alabama Wal-Mart at 10:45 PM last night and didn't see anything fun. Just regular people tired and beat like me shopping at the undogly hour of 11:00 PM. No feather boas, no strange print clothing ill-fitting and inappropriate... just regular Joe's. Makes you wonder where all those pictures come from on that web site.... you know the one... people who shop at .... you know...
Any who... post work went and found it, got some survival gear for my extended stay flight, car and hotel are tended, husband is tended if not enjoying my working so hard. "Try doing it for a year and half" he quips - with a cut in pay. Thank you no. This stinks for the9 days I've been doing it already... hum? only 4 days you say? Really? Look at my time card, I've put in two extra days and a bit already this week - and I'm working the weekend. Don't talk to me about the number of days in this week skippy.
On a happy note did find low-fat blue berry muffins at the Wal-Mart for breakfast, the in room coffee isn't bad, but the cups don't come with lids so it was a bit of a balancing act to the car but I made it... and drank half the cup before I left. Also found some granola that looks like the good stuff at Costco at home, so cross your fingers. I figure that is better snacking for me than the junk food they have stashed in the other testing lab for the 2o-something code jockeys who work all hours of the day and night.
One final thought on my stay here in the lovely deep south.... it would be wrong to put a threatening note on the air conditioning unit in my hotel room stating to the housekeeping crew that if they turn that thing off again I will be forced to random acts of messy violence and will make them change the sheets every night I sleep in that bed AND I will change beds (there are 2 in my room) when I get up in the middle of the night to potty. Yeah that would be wrong... but if they turn it off again - I will be forced to take action like super gluing the button in place or something. Nothing too drastic.
It was way too warm when I pulled in last night and Aunt Ing don't do warm room to sleep in. I prefer the temperature somewhere down around "meat locker". Of course the way things are going - I could probably just sleep in my car and eliminate the hotel expense - but I won't. I don't function without shower and thankfully in room coffee. And that whole indoor plumbing thing we've talked about before...
Enjoy YOUR Friday I will be a small beige box (without Russell posters) watching code and crap scroll by... yeah it's a living... NO it's a job. I beginning to wonder when I get to do some living. ;-) Some time next week I think.
Boy this is one whiny post isn't it? Stay tuned maybe dinner will be good. ;-)
