Weekend of Boys

The original plan for this past weekend: DH's friend from Boston flies into California. He, his Boston friend, and a friend up in Berkeley were to drive Thursday night to a camping location. They were to spend the whole weekend camping and rock climbing and to return Monday.

Due to forecasts of rain for the weekend, BIG change of plans: All three were going to stay at our place for the weekend! Since we were also set up with a network of 3 computers, you can guess what the main activity of the weekend was. :p

Actually, they did spend all day Saturday rock climbing at Pinnacles Natl Park. So I had some of the peace and quiet I had originally anticipated. They were so pooped from their physical exertions that they fell asleep at a decent hour that night.

On Sunday, however, they started playing games in the afternoon until 5am in the morning!! FREAK! (I guess this is normal for gaming peeps?)

By Monday, both our visitors left...back to normal hours.

Chit Chat

Haven't posted anything in a while because nothing exciting has really been going on, sad to say. But now I do have a bit to contribute. :p

You know how when you drive on a freeway there are always a few birds that dare swoop in front of a speeding vehicle and barely miss getting hit? Well, this morning, I actually saw a bird get completely slammed by a car. There was a huge spray of feathers and a small gray lump of bird flew 50 feet into the air. When it dropped down, it got hit by another car and was bouncing along the road towards my car. But thankfully, it came to a halt on the edge of the lane so I missed it. Poor stupid bird!

I'm doing a bit of whimsical reading. Currently reading "The Other Side of the Story" by Marian Keyes. I've recently began reading her. She's a good beach read. Anyway, reading the book got me thinking: How would I react if my husband suddenly left me for a younger woman when I'm 60?

I'm vengeful by nature so I guess I'd probably pull a Waiting to Exhale and burn his clothes in his car (if by chance he left them). Something to think about!

Speak up!

I'm currently working with someone who is very soft spoken...soft spoken up to the point that it irritates me. Sometimes I just want to say to him "Be a man and speak up!"

ALSO what further annoys me is that fact that he is a single guy with no family. Therefore this means that he is perfectly fine with having late night calls to India coworkers. I HATE NIGHTTIME CONFERENCE CALLS WITH INDIA!!!!

I don't mind as much waking up early to do them but I feel that dinner time and later is my own time and not company time.

Yeah, so people whom you have to strain your ears to hear are SO NOT COOL.
