livingdebWork was surprisingly good and then surprisingly bad, and it will be worse tomorrow. I mean I got angry at one of the best employees. And I brought work home. Me. I.
I fantasized about just quitting. I read stories all the time about people who quit or get laid off with no job lined up, and then they find the perfect thing and their lives are so much better blah blah blah. Of course the ones who quit and then spiral downward into homelessness probably don't have internet access and don't get interviewed for self-improvement books. Maybe I'll hold off a bit longer.
But then I have Friday off. Ha! My excuse is that the Wildflower Center is having its semi-annual plant sale. This should be an excellent place to get plants because they sell only native plants. Of course there are three geographies around here, so you still have to make sure to pick the right plants (I should get the kinds that like clay soil rather than the kinds that enjoy growing in rocks), but they all can live with very little water, but also handle flooding, and can live through very hot summers and intense sun, but also an annual freeze.
And then I'm picking my sister and for her birthday I am taking her out to eat and then to experience unfortunate events at Borders Books. ("The End is near and Lemony Snicket has saved the worst for last. You probably shouldn't join us for this special event featuring some unpleasant activities to celebrate the end of the Baudelaire orphans saga. See store for details.")
