Happy sleep off the food day!
I was really glad I got a chance to see my family last night. I've been seeing a lot of Carrie's family, but next to nothing of my own lately. Everyone gathered at the Jeffers' house (my other family) for pie and company. Everyone just has a zest for life, is full of energy and ready to tell a good story and laugh. Kathleen's story took the cake (poor Stu).
Kathleen just recently got offered a new job after sitting in an interview for two hours smiling and nodding. The interviewer spent the whole time talking about hunting, the parts of the deer to eat, and boiling the kidney or brain in piss (or something along those lines). Ka said he never once asked about anything on her resume or her credentials. At most, she was asked if she was easily offended or couldn't handle diversity. She said "no," they called the next day, and she started the following Monday. That's not where the story ends, though.
On Ka's third week, she got to go on a business trip for a week. While on said trip, she managed to leave behind the car keys! Stu's been forced to ride the city bus until the keys get mailed back. Apparently, the people on the bus call him "Whitey," because he's the only one on the bus. The bus also starts and stops every few feet giving everyone whiplash (which may be why they're so cranky and less than nice). As Kathleen is telling us the story, she's smiling the whole time. "I feel so bad!" Ka said. Bill replied "Yeah right! You've been laughing the whole time! You think [Stu's] misery is hilarious!" Everyone started laughing at this point and started apologizing to Stu about Kathleen.
Everyone was in a jovial mood, so it was a great time. We watched some football, told stories, and poked at each other. Good times! Today started off with some traveling and work but it's been otherwise uneventful. We had a marathon five hour cleaning session yesterday morning, so there's not too much left to do. Honestly, I feel restless. It's like there's something important I should be doing but I'm not. I've played some games, read some, watched some Avatar episodes...., but there's that feeling that I should be doing something more. If anything, I should just be enjoying the quiet time that will soon disappear when Shane arrives, but I'd prefer if he was already here. Carrie was sick last night and kept moaning and acting like she was dying. She feels better today, but she's been passed out on the couch for the past two to three hours. I think I'll go read some Acts and then some Terry Pratchett and try to figure out what to do with myself. Hopefully, I'll get some writing or even grading done.
Bye for now.
