Not totally sure if it can, but I'll take my chances that something will come from this post.
1) This week at work was one of the more challenging ones I have faced in some time. It wasn't one huge thing, it was all these little issues that kept popping up. It felt like a bunch of little gnats gnawing away at my flesh. Monitor resolution, computer viruses, sudden trainings, webex seminars, the reports taking a long time to load, finding out of my best friends is leaving the team. Just a lot of stuff that wasn't desirable.
2) Good to see Amber for the first time in almost 18 months. I waited for 30 minutes at CPK as she finished up work. The conversation started slow, but got better as the night went on. And I must say...the new spinach/artichoke pizza is a stellar addition to the menu.
3) Found a spot in a spot on Friday afternoon. I hope it's not a big deal.
4) I am so ready for Ring of Honor's 9th Anniversary show next Saturday night. I have been feeling bothered that this show doesn't seem to be getting promoted very well. But announcer Dave Prazak was just interviewed on Jonathan Hood's radio show on ESPN 1000 AM. That is nothing short of awesome. I would love to see 1,000 people for this internet PPV show.
5) So Borders and Giordano's have both filed for bankruptcy. Both these places are in the same strip mall that is five minutes from my house. And across from those stores is the Charlestowne Mall, which houses the Sears that will be going out of business this spring. Yep, I would say the St. Charles economy is not exactly thriving right now.
6) But that economy may get some help this week. Restaurant Week runs from Wednesday though Sunday. 25 percent off 30 restaurants. I'm not sure where I will go, but I would like to try a new spot. Maybe a Thai place...
7) Thank you Mom for that 25 dollar gift card to Jiffy Lube. Between my oil change, air filter, and new wipers, my total bill would have exceeded 100 bucks. But hey! I still get my coupon for my free minnow car wash at Jaws, saving me three dollars.
8) I saw True Grit. It's not often we see Westerns made nowadays. All in all, I thought it was good. Hailee Steinfeld did a tremendous job as the young girl, hell-bent on avenging her father's murder. As for Jeff Bridges, it feels like his character in Crazy Heart just changed jobs from musician to sheriff. The setting was fine, the story compelled me, the music was ok. I would recommend it.
9) My free South Barrington Club gym membership has nine days remaining on it. Still wagering what my best option is going forward...
10) I cannot keep watching these hour-long hot dog specials. I'm leaving for Scooby's in a few minutes!
