- but, I think I just had a good day. There are still 6 hours for me to get pissed off, but overall, good. I had a decent run of grumpy in the morning at work. And right now I have some mild grumpiness about idiocy in the home.

Saw an old friend for lunch. She has been pretty consistently canceling real, in person meet ups for a while now. We originally agreed on Thursday, and I bluntly stated that I put the odds of that at zero. She swore a blood oath that Thursday was on. So when she rescheduled I extracted a promise that she would let me pay for lunch. I was kicking myself that I didn't get up front agreement to steak - but she agreed to steak. And she's agreed that was the best steak she has ever had.

I forgot to dare her to claim the hug on the sign. But she kinda nearly took a free hug on the way there. I think the free prayer put her off.

Over a long lunch we shared hysterical laughter. Sadly, I can't even go in to the details here - but they were very, very funny. The word "tits" was crucial, and then there was an astonishing revelation (makes sense in hindsight) over the meal. When the laughing had stopped I noted that etiquette probably would be to leave that topic to raise over desert rather than the main course.

Before lunch my boss said that she would never hit me, but if she sees me in after four she'll bash me over the head. So I said that, in the spirit in which it was meant, I would promise to leave by four. We both know that I still 'cheat' on my vow to not work late. I do it by coming in early and not taking my full lunch hour.
