discotheque night

 went to the french alliance in the evening for an event where one can dance to music from the 1960s to the present. so i would consider this to be a 'discotheque night'. while there i wrote down some songs i recognized. one was a french version of a blondie song, 'sunday girl'. as well as the french version of a  nancy sinatra song, 'these boots are made for walking'. even a song i knew was in the movie 'european vacation'. i bought a stella artois beer as it was cheaper than the wine and i got more ounces as well. at first i was in the back next to a table and a lady asked me to watch her scarf that she left there as she wanted to dance, but said i didn't know her. i was there to have a good time, not watch stuff for others. another patron left her phone next to the scarf. eventually i moved way from that table. doing this event sure was just what the doctor ordered after a challenging day at work, to say the least. i had multiple conference calls, and i prefer days when there are no meetings at all to attend. it was about a special sending of tax checks to california. and my boss had some about test checks, it meant  more being overnighted to toronto. there was even somebody from the marshall office who wouldn't leave me alone about boxes of check stock. i found one box, probably had been in the shop for years. i said it will have to wait until monday to have it sent, as it was late in the day. i did a 'schedule a pick-up' with UPS since the locked door to the box still isn't fixed yet. and there was more complaints about checks not arriving. so i found an alternate place to drop off in the evening and will not use the box onsite again until it is resolved. i made it to the big customer center just minutes after closing time, but was told what was in the box outside hadn't been picked up yet. then i went home and ate, before going to the event. when i got home again i looked at binders to see about getting this week's poem into a sheet protector. it meant re-arranging some of my writings a little, but i found just enough space. the 'big bang theory' rerun was when sheldon and amy got engaged and then amy hugs ramona, thanking her for her part in it.
