Work
My mother picked me up from the airport and one of the first stops i had to make was the office. Had to have her drive me there as i let my license expire and i didn't have the clothing for biking in the cold.
Yes i go to work immediately after i get back, my grandfather would be proud. Didn't have to - it was Friday after Thanksgiving and no one else was at work. Still it was good to go back.
My main reason for going was to reset a couple secondary servers, which took but a couple minutes. Checked my (physical) mail while i was there - had two smallish packages in my mailbox and a box on my desk. The smallish packages held a shirt each and the box was a Canon A75 digital camera (the A75 is the newer version of the A70 which is the lower end version of the A80 i own and love), all won via promos from APC.
The last time i won anything was also around my birthday, back in 1992. I wasn't going to buy a raffle ticket, but a friend of mine was quite insistent. The girl i was dating at the time was involved in the drawing and by complete chance, i'm sure, i happened to win the grand prize: a large basket full of american chocolates and other candies. That prize was just as useless to me as the camera and shirts - it was the beginning of the wrestling season and i had to lose a couple pounds. I gave the candies away to all my friends, as if i was so overwhelmed with joy at winning that i had to share. I only wrestled for two matches that year thanks to Tony Kikka (sp?) - during a training exercise with him something in my foot went POP and i was on crutches the rest of the season.
I'm giving the A75 to my father. He's the wealthiest person in our family but has no camera.
