I brought in some Girl Scout cookies and offered them to a colleague who still wanted to talk about how she didn't get cookies from me on my service anniversary. It was early in the day, and she said she was full. I said 'Don't say I didn't offer'. She brought in homemade cookies and I had one. I really didn't know what to do for her, as I didn't mean it as a snub and figured she would have let it go a while back. Sounds like we are fine now.
I stayed busy with my normal duties- the payoff report and letters- for much of the day. I wanted to see that things were caught up by the end of the day since I am out of the office for two days next week. Thankful I was able to leave at my normal time, what's typical is that I stay a little late but I had already done this earlier in the week and didn't want to again if I could help it.
I made it to Chris and Rob's in St. Paul this evening, the Chicago-themed hot dog place. It was nice to see who I know there, he said he had played junior a hockey for the Rochester, MN, Mustangs. I did what was typical of my routine there, looking at the art on the wall in the seating section which is a retired railroad car. And of course having a chili cheese dog and tater tots, though I have a birthday coupon that just arrived for pizza. I also have one from the Dairy Queen Blizzard fan club, and a few other food establishments will likely send an offer when it is all said and done.
I also made it to the comedy club tonight. The sub teacher did his joke where he mentioned plenty of presidents, and I said 'Brilliant' when I heard it. The 'Tetris comic' did one where he referred to Richard Dawson, saying it sounded like people didn't know who he is if no one laughed. I said I knew, he's the (former) Family Feud host. The 'Self-Checkout' comic did the one about trading in the Ford Escort for the hybrid car, and I really like how it ends with the 'Slap fight'. The show closer was the 'Extra murder' comic who did the one about tax time coming up. I had heard it before but it was funnier this time as he had plenty of great comebacks for a crowd member who kept interrupting. I liked how he added to the one about a friend dating a carnie, saying only carnie is below comedian in the entertainer jobs hierarchy. After the show I said I laughed so hard I hit my head on the wall behind me in the corner, when doing the tax time joke. He said he didn't want to injure anyone, but I've hit my head before and I'm fine.
