verbicide | morning. huh. (Reply)

Despite the fact that yesterday was a long day. Despite the fact that last night was a long night. I am wide awake. I am so excited for this cleaning woman to get here, I may die.

My big fear is that she's going to walk in, be completely horrified, and politely tell me that she doesn't deal with this level of messy. Eeek. Oh speaking of, I should take some before shots. Or maybe she won't show up and I'll be unspeakably depressed.

Yesterday at work was a bit crazy. Walked in and found ten billion emails about the portion of the website I've been working on. I was still waiting for a review from the content-guy. We worked through that and the beginning part of the day went by so fast that when Jeff stopped by my office I just thought he was coming by to say hi, but it was lunch time. We took a break and it was back to work. But then, the day just kind of disintegrated. All my major projects were on hold sorta. And we were both super antsy to be done with the day.

We were supposed to go see Jared Diamond speak about his new book ("Collapse") at Town Hall, but apparently all of Seattle had the same idea. Backing up a bit. We first went to dinner at Palomino where Jeff grabbed the bill in a very calm, and might I add, manly way. It was very sweet. Though I regretted ordering the filet mignon I thought I was going to be paying for myself.

We walked to Town Hall and Sarah ran up behind us, and pointed out that the line to get in wrapped around several blocks. D'oh. Very disappointing. The three of us went out for coffee instead and I realized how tired I was. Regardless, I was gleeful that Sarah agreed to come over with X-files. We continued our viewing of Season 7 and inevitable cooing at Mulder and Scully.

Me: *sitting up to ogle Ms. Afterglow* Dear. God.
Sarah: You need a hooker.
Me: *dying of laughter*

Anyyyyyyyyhow. Sarah left a little after 2a.m. and I managed to stay awake for the entire disc, so I was proud. Also, because Sarah is the coolest, she single-handedly took out the Christmas tree on her way to her car. My gratitude can not be expressed in mere words.

So for the next hour I need to prep clean for this poor woman who is coming to save me from my insanely messy apartment.
