Day 241: Oh, terrific. Now B23 has formed his own team, and we're now facing off against not one but TWO teams from work at Monday night trivia at DeVere's!! We had a mediocre night, earning only 20 points, and missing a physics question, which I didn't fight hard enough for, though we did get some really good pulls from the team, and everyone contributed at least one big answer, including E's roomie, who helped us out with a question about Dancing With The Stars. We utterly face-planted on all of the sports questions, though, without CJ there to bolster our decidedly non-sports team.
E came up with our new, and utterly amazing, team name:
Lucky Fluffy Clucking Flock
The trivia master had a hard time with it, which means we're DEFINITELY sticking with it!!
I've not been posting a lot recently, mostly because I've been working as we head into a go-live release tomorrow. I like the company I work for, and the people I work with, so I don't mind putting the pedal down and working the long days during crunch-time, but it does make for limited ADVENTURE opportunities!
I missed out on two adventures this weekend: first, I was supposed to join IK and his daughter MK in San Francisco for an overnight at the California Academy of Sciences, called "Penguins+Pajamas". I WAS LITERALLY INVITED TO COME SLEEP WITH THE PENGUINS. Unfortunately, work happened, but also there was the little matter of the wording of the invite; after checking with the academy, they really, really didn't want adults there without children of their own. They were nice enough to give me a refund for my ticket, thank heavens.
I then planned to pop down on Sunday to SF, to catch up with a post-penguin IK and MK, along with MH and her friend M (whose last initial I do not know), and genuine dim sum in Chinatown. Sadly, my work took me into the wee small hours Saturday night, and I had so much work to do on Sunday that I had to decline.
I had rented a car for the weekend (using points, so it was free), and I had to return it without actually going anywhere. I logged a total of THREE MILES.
Ahem.
I do hope all of you are well, and I wanted to take a second and thank you all for the happy birthday wishes!
Tomorrow, ADVENTURE!! :)
