Twilight zone. I got up and did all the usual stuff this morning and managed to get to work at 8:30. Hello? Is it Friday? There were about five vee-hickles in the parking lot. Well, maybe more than five but it was pretty sparsely populated. We have a *lot* more parking than is needed, judging by the number of people who actually work in the Planet A-squared facility, so there are always plenty of empty spaces. Like whole parking lots full of them. Once, our home office (on another planet) sponsored a little employee contest of some sort and one of the prizes was a month of parking right next to the building. I guess on the home planet, parking is difficult (I’ve never been there) but here on the Planet A-squared pretty much anybody who wants to can park next to the building. And there is a beautiful pond with geese and ducks and swans and elephant grass and whatever. As you can see. Today? Only a few vee-hickles.

Anyway, it was 8:30. I go to work at 8:30 all the time. I’d like to go earlier but I will not give up my morning walk and even though I am home from that by 7:00 for the most part, I have chores and things to do. Check my email and bank accounts, make my bed, clean the bathroom, make my lunch, etc. So. Where *was* everyone today? Was it really Friday? Was it Saturday? Had I actually slept through Friday? Was it some sort of weird holiday that I didn’t know about? Had we all been laid off? I dunno. Eventually people started trickling in and, at some point, someone turned on the lights in the building. I never do because I *like* working with only my computer screen for a light. And it turned into a pretty regular day with lunch from none other than Zingerman’s Bakehouse, which NP Jane mentioned in the comments yesterday. I didn’t participate today. I brought a salad and yogurt and vanilla soy milk [and a couple pieces of leftover Halloween candy] in and took a walk during lunch.

Enought of that boring stuff. today is the 75th anniversary of the repeal of the Prohibition Laws So celebrate! Skoal. Cheers. Glahgging off now. KW!!
