D-Day

I shouldn't call it D-Day...but...I have to go back to work tomorrow. This is monumental because other than one day in the office, I have been out of the office on business, holiday, vacation, or nasty stomach flu for nearly a month. I know what I have to look forward to as well, a slew of emails, blocked invoices, and engineers who wanted everything the day before I left for Europe a month ago. I like my job, well parts of my job but like any job I'm sure there will always be times while doing some activity I sit and think to myself this is so not why I have spent this much time in school. I wonder if CEO's think that at times too. Oh well, I have hours yet to get laundry and cleaning and homework done so I can go to work with other thoughts out of my head.

My printer is currently working over time in the office printing off a bunch of files because Harry, a classmate and friend, mistakingly picked up my course pack and put it in his bag at the end of class. So he scanned the reading for this week and my poor printer is getting to do the brunt of the work so I can be prepared for a conference call tomorrow evening. I'm just glad he dropped me an email and told me he had it because I was having a bit of a meltdown on Sunday.

I have realized I am the most audibly aroused (keep your mind out of the gutter) person on the planet. On my way to Chicago this week I was listening to Nicholas Sparks' lastest book from my cute little ipod. I get about an hour from O'hare where I am picking up the Dan man. And I am sobbing over the words being piped through my Jeep stereo speakers. The book ends and I stopped to clean up and get so more water, cause I was dehydrated from the crying by this point, kidding! I get back in the car and off to O'hare I head and I turned on Anderson Cooper's book that I have already listened to several times, but I love the man's voice. Even though he is talking about death and destruction, suicide and starvation, there is just something incredibly calming to me about his voice. It would be truly tragic if the rumors are true about him at least for me it would be.

Last but certainly not least:
Fight the team across the field
Show them Ohio's here
(We've got the team why don't we)
Set the Earth reverberating
With a mighty cheerRAH! RAH! RAH!
Hit them hard and see how they fall
Never let that team get the ball
Hail! Hail! The gang's all here
So let's win that old conference now!
(So let's beat that Michigan now!)
(Oh, Ohio! Oh, Ohio! Wahoo! Wahoo for Ohio!)
There is only one word to cover the Buckeye's completely dismal abandonment of No 1. -- Dumbasses! Congratulations to Florida who in true Wisconsin Badger style prove all the sports commentators wrong. Well done!
On a side bar, spell check doesn't seem to be working today, so if I misspelled anything, please do not feel the need to let me know. I will probably notice in a week or two if I happen to go back and read the post.
