my day off
Dec. 22nd, 2006 03:05 pmI got up around 9:15 this morning and headed out around 10. I was literally walking down North St. when FormerUnitHead called. We agreed to meet at Davis Square later in the morning. I did go in to the office anyway, though, 'cause I had two things to take care of. (Andy yelled "You're not supposed to be here" when I walked past his office; yesterday we had a conversation about how I wasn't coming in today.)
FormerUnitHead and I agreed to meet at Diesel, and I saw him pulling into a parking space in front of the cafe at the same time as my phone rang. I saw that it was him calling, so I almost didn't answer it. I said hello and he said he was parking. I said, "I know." At this point I was standing next to his car (I had started walking out of the cafe as I answered the phone) and he looked up and saw me.
He said I'll be getting a gift certificate via e-mail today or tomorrow but he also bought me a physical present. "You might already have this, but I hope you don't." I'm being good and not opening it. [I didn't open Prof.B.'s gift per se, but the stuff was v. loosely wrapped in tissue paper in a gift bag.] It'll be my one guaranteed surprise gift. [We do detailed wishlists -- which I love -- and some stuff I pick out myself in-store.]
I came home to a lovely card from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sk8eeyore, complete with repayment for the theatre tickets from my visit -- which I had completely forgotten I was owed :)
Our kitchen floor has been really pissing me off, so I actually cleaned it a little this afternoon. (I remain too lazy to do a real mop job.)
I finished catching up on my taped tv -- oh, damn, I meant to bring some of my DVDs home from work. Oh well; I don't particularly anticipate time to watch much of anything over break anyway.
At some point this afternoon, my brother's coming to pick me up; I'll be back in Somerville some time on Tuesday... on the Internets sporadically while at home.
