An evening off!

[cjsmith]

Yesterday I did the dutiful things I was supposed to do: I fought with Microsoft drivers at work, I paid some bills, I went to get a bone scan, I did my meds and the kitties' meds and and and...

By the time Rob got home I didn't have much energy or motivation to do anything else. He needed to study neutrinos / particle physics, but after teaching flight students all day, he was wiped too.

We were so bad.

WE TOOK THE EVENING OFF. Both of us.

We watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and I got sufficiently relaxed on red wine that we really should have stayed awake longer after the movie, if you catch my meaning, except that I was so tired that it just wasn't going to happen.

(Most annoying thing about that movie, aside from the bit about throwing cats against stone walls: they couldn't figure out how to end it. Guys, you were doing great up until the last scene. It's worse than the ending of Blazing Saddles, and that's saying something.)

Y'know what's the problem with taking the evening off? You get used to it. It's fun. Now I'm back fighting with Microsoft drivers, phoning insurance companies and medical imaging clinics, and just generally being good and dutiful and stuff. That's less fun.

"I fought with Microsoft drivers at work"

I had an image of delivery drivers coming down from the Microsoft headquarters in Washington state picking a fight with you about a delivery issue.

Then I realized what the context was!

As you know, I've done my fair share of "fighting with Microsoft drivers". My solution...I switched to Mac. :-) Okay, in the work situation you have less control over that. Good luck!

I'm glad you had such a good night last night, though I am sorry to hear about the earlier than preferred end to it. :)

Being good and dutiful is commendable as well, although not nearly as much fun. Wish I could offer you a suitable reward.

"needed to study neutrinos / particle physics"

Why does he need to do that ? Just curious. High energy physics and the machines used to conduct said experiments are interests. I might still be doing that sort of work but for a shortsighted act of congress.

My favorite Monty Python movie is "The Life of Brian". Especially because it has a kick-ass ending.

The reason MP&THG ended the way it did was that the group, literally, ran out of money before they could get the ending onto film. They couldn't raise the price of a cup of coffee by that point, so they just threw together the least expensive "ending" they could manage, to get ANY kind of a wrap on the movie.
