Visiting the local Chik-fil-A the other day, they were doing a promotion where you would add the Chik-fil-A app to your smartphone, they’d have you spin the prize wheel, and you’d win either a small drink, small fries, or small ice cream. We were walking up and the lovely young woman behind the prize wheel asked us if we had the app yet because “you guys come here often enough”.
“Nah”, I told her. “Smartphones is how the government tracks you.”
She snorted and looked at me pointedly and, without missing a beat, asked me “Have you ever had dental work?”
Speaking of which, I had dental work this week as well. So I’m broadcasting loud and clear and looking good.
Which will have me poised for this weekend.
This week has been one of long nights at work and getting up anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half early in order to hammer out even more stuff that needs to get done because the deadlines are coming up fast and there’s drama and tension between teams and people are being pulled in multiple directions and, golly, I just want to sit in my comfy chair in my pajama pants in front of my tv and play the Spider-Man game and collect pigeons.
I think that that might actually be schedulable. (Well, after we do the grocery thing, and the Costco thing, and the PetSmart thing.)
So… what’s on your docket?

Chile fest this weekend. So we’ll bet a bushel and then spend an hour or two peeling and bagging them before we chuck them in the freezer.
Beyond that, sleeping in and playing catch up with my grading pile.
