Day 254 = Resistance Bands + Work. On a Sunday. Yeah.

I could have slept A LOT more today. And let me just remind people that A LOT is two words and definitely is NOT spelled with an A. I'm just saying. Try to Google it. Google will say, "Did you mean: definitely?" Yes, boldface, underlined and italics because definately is NOT in the dictionary. Just a couple of pet peeves I'm sharing with you lovely blog readers today.

Around 11 am, I got up and turned on my laptop. Well, I had my personal laptop at one chair at my dining room table and my pretty red work laptop at another chair. I tag-teamed them today. Because I had to create an ops review in a PowerPoint for a presentation on Monday. What does that mean? Well, it means that my boss wants to know what I do and where/if I'm behind on things and what my risk mitigation plan is for that and how I'm tracking my goals and what my time-suckers are and where I can find efficiencies. In a PowerPoint. You know, instead of just asking me TO MY FACE.

This is the part of the day when I say, "Red Bull, I love you."

So my co-worker, who was also tasked with this exercise in asinine-ness, and I IM'd about this task and shared our work. Until 5 pm, when I said I needed to stop and get ready for comedy tonight. And just so ya know, I put a tiny note on the "time-sucker" slide that said this presentation took 7 hours to create (I'm counting the hour my co-worker and I carved out and put a meeting request on our calendars earlier this week to brainstorm about said ops review).

I got to the club and was standing in line when a comic friend walked up and hugged me. We were talking and I took a really long sigh breath. He was like, "Are you OK?" I said, "Yes, I'm just waiting for my Adivan to kick in because I've had a tumultuous afternoon working on an ops review for work. On a Sunday." I mean, the look on his face said he thought I was about to fall over any moment.

I've been coming to the club and telling new jokes each week. Last week was my best set ever, and since I know I should be recycling and honing jokes and I hadn't really been inspired enough this week to bring anything new to the table, I told a similar set to last week plus a couple of jokes that had worked in the past. Well, it was a tough crowd. I got some laughs but I wasn't bathed in laughter like I'd expected. Dang it. Always next week. And note to self that the tramp stamp joke seems to kill every time.
