get out a book

 after getting an early call, just minutes before i was headed to the bank, i wasn't sure what to do. the clinic said i was ill, do not go in. so i called my boss and had to figure out how else i am to fill in the time. i had noticed a book near my desk for a while, which once was in my lunch bag. i think i had been reading it a little at a time in the jobs i held while 'in the wilderness' before i landed the current gig. it looks like i was near the end, based on the bookmark placement. but i decided to start over from page one and read a hundred pages, nearly half the book, in the first day. it also meant another episode of 'jeopardy', the high school reunion tournament. as usual, i knew some of the answers, and this included the shakespeare category. since i know some of those plays, but not all. and in the evening it was 'night court' on NBC as i had already seen some of the local news coverage on the winter weather. good story where the judge is stuck on the subway, while there are olympic athletes visiting the court. the 'snow ordinance' is not in effect yet but it will be soon enough. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when the friends went to the ren-fest. then leonard and penny come back from their dates at the same time and compete in the hall for who kisses longer, leonard's date being lesley. it was followed by the one where sheldon gets an assistant, alex. it led to a line where i laughed due to amy saying to penny, 'that skank is your problem, not mine'. since alex likes leonard.
