I don't know if something is going on with the weather or if it's just work that's catching up to me, but I've had a really hard time getting out of bed the last few days and it's not like I've been staying up until the wee hours of the night.
Sure, 11pm is late for some, but it's not like the days when I get on a role and end up staying up until 12:30.
Work is going through an email migration, sure its not so unusual in today's corporate world, but my job is so entangled and tied up with email I have to say I'm a little freaked out.
I've been working on cleaning out my email for a week. Last week I managed to get through and delete 2000 emails from my inbox, getting it down to a managable 400.
I know I sound like an email horder, but I'm really not, but then again I suppose that's what most horders would say right?
Then this week I learned none of my contacts were going to carry over unless they were in my 'contacts' file, which of course none of mine were.
So I had to go through the alphabet one letter at a time bringing up every email address and saving it to my folder.
I also completed my purging of the email, and managed to get the inbox down to 64.
By the end of my very long day and even longer week both Sunshine and I were ready for a beer so we headed to our favorite little dive bar.
Sunshine bellied up to the bar and ordered. They poured mine first, and it was all I could to restrain myself before she brought it to the table.
I swear I wanted to jump across the bar and tackle the bartender and start to chug!
Of course I restrained myself, because that wouldn't be cool.
Sunshine and we toasted to our long week and friendship.
Then she made a quick call all I heard her say was 'yeah I'm doing great now that I'm here with my new best friend Miller Light! Sorry dude you've been replaced.'
I laughed my butt off, because I was thinking the exact same thing!
Beer never tasted so good! It was like it was the sweet nectar of the gods as it hit my taste buds and quenched my thirst.
We stuck around and had a few more, while we met a few new friends.
One of them was extremely drunk but still trying to work his magic on me. He said something about how he was in Pat Tillman's army unit and then went to grab his id, which he couldn't find of course.
The next thing we knew he had emptied the contents of his pockets onto the table. There was cash, a phone, and several business cards that he kept trying to pick up thinking they were his id.
I have no idea why he was reaching for his ID, I think it was going to prove something to us but I'm not sure what.
Thankfully his friends came and gathered his stuff and took him to another bar, which is exactly what he needed.
I have to say this single life is pretty fun right now, I'm not sure I'm willing to give it up.
Not that you can't have fun while your dating or in a relationship but there is something to be said for not having to answer or explain yourself to anyone.
There is also something to be said for having a designated driver allowing you to have more fun!
Hmmmm... maybe you just need to find a happy medium where you can do it all.
