And Did It Rain

My goodness. Did it rain today.

I got up early, and it was absolutely pouring. I got to the metro by 8:30 thanks to a lovely ride from Doug. And waited 20 minutes for the train, with about a million other people. Signal failure at a station 2 south of us. I pondered just going up top and calling an Uber but I saw what the traffic was. I'd risk it. A 20 minute trip will obviously take a lot longer. That's okay. 

Thankfully I do not need to do this regularly, again I say thankfully. I listened to people calling into their offices that they were going to be late, etc etc. I slacked my team, and took a picture of all the humans on the platform and the countdown to arrival ticker saying 10 more minutes...

I arrived at work just in time for the 9:30 meeting our team was having, it hadn't started cooking just yet. So I didn't feel bad. And I wasn't the only one late, also thanks to the Metro. 

We had a good meeting, and then clients started rolling in. We had lunch, a big keynote, "break out" rooms, and dinner. I didn't have any of the wine or beer because the food options for dinner weren't very filling or good for carbs. So I avoided what probably would have been a drunkening if I dove in like I wanted to. 

It was a good day, filled with lots of talks, and face to face time with clients and my colleagues. My right hand man and his boss sat at a table with me, and we went through tickets talking about them and who was taking what, and just going over the historical details of the ask. 

My colleague's boss said "wow, this is really nice, sitting together and doing this at a table. So productive." I said "you live in Chicago so we're not going to make you move back here, but we should maybe make a point to once every couple weeks set up a zoom and rip into some of these issues together. Either that or we all start coming back to the office. Ha. Never."

At about 8pm I was done. I was in a the middle of a good discussion about Spanish Translation of articles with one of my favorite people from our Miami client and another work bestie who likes to get into good trouble with me. I noticed the time and said "ugh. I still have to go home." 

We kiss kissed bye bye and I headed out in the POURING rain to the metro. I texted Doug and Geoff and Geoff met me at the station. 

He made chorizo quesadillas for dinner and that just was not appetizing to me. Appreciate the effort but that's spicy and greasy and no. To be honest, tired means nothing is appetizing to me. But I knew I needed to eat. So I made a pbj sammitch and opened a bottle of wine. Seemed like the thing to do. 

Feet up, hockey on, cuddling with my dog who missed the hell out of me all day and I have to say, I too missed her. 

Tomorrow is another exceptionally long day because I agreed to go to S's fundraiser for her non-profit that she's on the board for. It's for kids and you know I'm a sucker for kids and trying to make their lives brighter. So look at me. I'll be fancy. But it will be so late when I get home. I thought about driving in, but if I do, I have to make it back across town to get the car to go home. Although... I could maybe just leave it at the work garage overnight?

Nah. I'll metro. Just gotta get up early, get dressed, be ready to be pretty for the evening thing.
