TGIF

This has been an extremely productive day so far :

Refreshed my memory after elaborate discussions on 'Office Space'. I now know every scene, every joke, every concept it ridicules, like the back of my hand.

Solved one medium difficulty level Sudoku puzzle.

Chose between going for Hancock vs going for Happy Hour.

Followed the stock market.

Small-talked with everyone I know on this floor.

Researched the top 10 list of books that I want to read. 'The 4-hr workweek' tops my list.

Overate at lunch.

Blogged. Left comments on friends blogs.

Decided that I want to do an MBA from one of the top B-schools.

T(ed)GIF.

Yays and Nays of the week ahead

Yay's!

1) Going to CT for 10 days.
2) 3rd Wedding Anniversary coming up.
3) Spending the weekend in a Catskills resort.
4) Working out of the World Financial Center in NYC.
5) Train commute to work with coffee + donut + newspaper + laptop bag in in tow.
6) Eating tasty Aks-cooked food for as long as I'm there.

Nays.
1) None.

When small cuts bring big tears

Like a burn while trying to place the sausage on the grill and your hand touches the 375F hot roof of that damn oven.

Like the thin paper cuts, when all you wanted was to fold a piece of harmless looking paper.

Like the eeeooowww pain when you bang a limb - esp the little toe - against the edge of a wall, a door, a sink, a dining table or anything that doesn't make it's presence felt until you hit it.

Like the pinch when your skin gets caught in the tiny space between two desks or chairs.
Like when you loose your balance in the bathroom and your flailing arms reach out for the ornamental cactus in front of you. That sucker.
