This was the week that half my staff left. People keep asking what I'm going to do. I've been saying "I'm going to Vegas."
Nic's a riot. You know half her staff quit, right? So I asked what she's going to do. She looked at me and totally deadpan, she goes "I'm going to Vegas." It's good she's still laughing, but really, what is she gonna do?
No, really, I'm going to Las Vegas. Not until Thursday, though.
Because I am insane and because I'm afraid of flying, I've been spending this week concentrating not on work but on planning the trip. I am flying. It takes three days to get to Las Vegas by train. Actually, the train no longer goes to Las Vegas. It goes to Needles and you catch a bus. And as much as I would love love love to go around saying "I headed for Las Vegas, only made it out to Needles," I do have a bit of a schedule to worry about. After all, I only have half a staff, I can't take off the next two weeks.
A couple weeks ago my niece's school had a fundraiser. They don't do those wimpy bake sales, they do a wine tasting. Then you can order the wines, and the school gets a cut. Today I picked mine up...a case of wine and two cases of beer. (It's for the children!) when the guy from the liquor store loaded my car (this may have been the first time I ever needed a handtruck to take out my alcohol purchase), he said "Have a nice weekend." Pointing to the full back seat, I said "I guess I will now."
I need one more topic to make this post a hat trick of non sequiturs. Yay hats!
