I woke up this morning on the wrong side of the bed (figuratively speaking, of course). Perhaps it was the gale force winds battering rain against my windows that did it. Or the other list of things I mentally complained about as I got ready (was going to include said list here, but it just sounded pathetic). I delayed as much as possible getting out of the house, examining the various hair products I'd brought, enjoying a second cup of coffee, watching a cat across the street play with rain drops on the window, etc. But finally I couldn't delay any longer, and stepped out to face the forces of nature. Which were actually quite small - similar to a drunk frat boy in the Marina, there was a lot of big talk and nothing to back it up. A few gusts of wind (at one point I thought it was the train approaching, but no, it wasn't) and no rain. The Dutch are amazingly ambivalent to the weather - saw a woman riding her bike in a skirt suit and pumps. I'm not sure I could do that even on a calm summer day.
So anyway, shockingly enough, I made it to work. It's Thursday, and I have a short assignment for today. Yay! I'll also probably have lots of time to brush up on useless trivia for quiz night at the bar tonight, which is apparently loads of fun and not to be missed. It's amazing how I'm already looking forward to the weekend. Playing grown-up at work definitely gets old after a few days at the office!
Thought for Today: I'm glad I brought 5 hats.
