We had our annual company picnic at Blackhawk Lake. Lawyers playing trivia is always amusing.
The lake itself was kinda bland, but hanging out with the coworkers was hilarious.
There was also an intense volleyball game. People changed into athletic clothes. There were dives and aggressive stances. Absolutely amazing.
I also played this bean-bag toss game that apparently is a Midwestern staple. Who knew?
I am the caretaker for my apartment building now, so gloriously awkward phone calls from prospective tenants interrupted the picnic. Apparently my landlord listed my telephone number in the newpaper ads for the building, and these prospective tenants think I am the building owner.
I have 10-types of crazy calling for apartment showings. Good thing the craziest callers end up canceling the apartment showings 10 minutes in advance or don’t call back when I inform them that their prior evictions may, in fact, be a problem. Life in Minnesota gets more amusing every day.
Moving to my new apartment consumed the past two weeks. My move can be summed up with two quotes:
“Knowing what you got, knowing what you need, that’s inventory control.” – Frank Wheeler, Revolutionary Road.
“The more things I threw away, the more I found.” – Jack Gladney, White Noise.
After drilling fixtures into my new apartment, I confronted all of the crap that I accumulated over countless trips to Wal-Mart and Ikea. I have a lot of random packs of garbage bags, travel-sized tissues, and cords for things I chucked a long time ago.
So if you need a cord, tissue, or garbage bag, call me!
The Rottweiler has free reign over the apartment because I kennel Harley when I’m away. He figured out how to break into the plastic shelf that I keep the dog food in, so I came home one day to find food poured all over the kitchen and both dogs bloated and passed out.
Most of my new songs and videos will have to wait until I get real internet access.
The lack of home internet isn’t a bad thing. It makes blogging harder, but it also means that I waste less of my life watching Bethenny Getting Married, which is more than mildly addicting, FTW.
