On Thursday I got a speeding ticket on highway 85. I’m not really that upset about it, since I fully admit that I was speeding. This is the first speeding ticket that I have ever received. Not a bad 10 year stretch, especially since I drive pretty fast. The state trooper was obviously not as impressed by this fact as I was. I really cannot believe that I have been driving for 10 years. I’m old.

This morning I woke up bright and early to go to work (more on that in a minute), to find that I had a flat tire. Yes. I’m talking completely flat. I’ve never officially had to change a tire before. I’ve helped my dad do it before, but never solo. Its not really a difficult process, but I consulted my owners manual none the less. I wanted to ensure that I applied the recommended ft/lbs of torque to the lugs. The most difficult part was getting the lugs loose initially. I had to setup the wrench such that I could stand on it and use my body weight to loosen them. This was one occasion where I was happy to be a bit overweight.

Finally, work was crap the past two days. I find that I am increasingly disliking my job daily. I hate when people schedule meetings during lunch and then use the argument that, ‘Hey, you get a free lunch out of it.’ Hey, I would rather leave the building, go to lunch with my peeps, and pay for it. Maybe its just me, but sitting in the same building for 8 hours straight is just difficult to do.

Anyway, I am looking forward to spending some quality time with my friends, both old and new, this weekend. I feel that I deserve it.
