Happy Friday

I started off the day super happy. Today is Friday!!! The weekend is supposed to have beautiful weather. Every HAS to be happy on Friday's. It really should be a law. Half the people I work with were miserable today. I did my best to ignore them.

Then I got an email! A beautiful wonderful email from a super nice friend! Mr. Smith (and I'm not making that up, he really is Mr. Smith!) :) Anyway, Mr. Smith sent me an email and said that a friend of his gave him 2 tickets for Wednesday nights Red Sox game and Mr. Smith couldn't make it. He didn't want the tickets to go to waste, and he thought of me! I WAS SO EXCITED! Too bad I was in the middle of a call (with a not too bright person) when I got the email. I started to dance in my chair... I emailed back Mr. Smith and said, YES!! I'm doing the Sox Ticket Dance in my chair!! :)

I sent him an email after I got off the phone (when I could actually focus, but that was also after 2 cups of coffee, so focusing at all at that point was challenging! Forgot about throwing in 2 tickets to a Sox game!! And on another side note, hit Taco Bell for lunch and got a large Mountain Dew. I really shouldn't be given that much caffeine in one day.. there's something else that should be a law. I was shaking half the day from the amount of caffeine I had. It was worse in the morning with 2 cups of coffee and nothing to eat. The shaking after Taco Bell's Mountain Dew wasn't so bad because I had Taco Bell crappy food with it... yummy, but not so good on the tummy. My friend calls fast food, rent-a-food, since it is, um, gone soon.)

Ok, back to where I was before that tangent... but such a fun tangent! :) I sent Mr. Smith an email after I got off the phone. I told him how my little brother is moving to St. Louis on the 20th. And how I was SO happy to have this game with him before he moves away! Mr. Smith was happy the tickets weren't going to waste and happy because it was for me and my brother! He is all sweet like that and gets stuff like that.

SO this was a wonderful happy Friday! I had to reschedule dinner plans for Wednesday night and a job interview for a p/t job at a restaurant but for Sox tickets? SO worth it! The job interview is on Monday night now. And I think it will work out more in my favor. I was honest with her about why... my little brother is moving out of state, I got tickets for him and I to go to a Sox game and I can't pass it up. She said she completely understood and would do the same thing. I think the additional contact and phone conversations with her will be helpful for her remembering me a little bit better when she is interviewing a ton of people over 3 days for this new restaurant. Anything to help you stand out, right?

That's it for now... Friday night, hanging in. Already in sweats. About to grab dinner. Just SUPER happy for Wednesday night. I can't wait to go to the Sox game with my brother. At least this is 1 thing I am doing with him outside of a family thing... 4 more to do for my list. Harder to do when I'm in Boston and he's in St. Louis.
