With a party to go to at the end of the day, I had to take the bus to the transit center rather than drive. It's been a while since I've done that and I forgot how that second bus ride seems to make the commute that much longer. I was sleepy when I got to work, so I had a nice latte to start my day.
Noon knitting in the conference room was tolerable. I was afraid it would be too hot but it stays cool enough in there in the morning. I can't imagine I'm going to be able to get any knitting done this weekend unless I can find some quiet time in the morning. My guess is that we're going to be up and out doing something or going somewhere. Gregg is having a party on the fourth and they're setting up a stage outside and he wants me to come up to sing. I am undecided.
I left work around four, thinking I'd take a slow bus downtown (with air conditioning) and then find a place for a drink while I waited for the others to arrive to go to the party. Well I had it partially right -- the bus was slow but the air conditioning was nonexistent and I was pouring sweat by the time I got off. I found a nice bar though, full of people watching the soccer match. I ordered a nice martini and then I am thinking I should probably have some little snack so I don't get too high before the main event. I didn't want fries or nuts or scotch eggs - something healthy, I'm thinking. Well, they had crispy Brussels sprouts on the menu so I ordered them, feeling so virtuous. But they were just unrelentingly bitter. I couldn't eat them.
The party was fun but too many "in" jokes. It is to be expected since it was the going away party for the CEO. I managed to keep it together. And I had a great night's sleep. My prize for being such a good girl.
This morning I'm going to take another try at getting to see Jane. This time she's picking me up at a point I know I can get to. Wish me luck.
