Ben sent us to inventory projectors in our buildings, and I was able to finish both of my buildings thanks to the overly detailed inventory I took at the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n<p>A few of the guys went out to lunch together, but I had plans to meet Brandie at Stoby&#8217;s. I had shunned her for a year after failing to invite me to the Asurion Christmas party last year. She said they didn&#8217;t even have one this year, so I let her off the hook with an apology for underestimating my love for hors d&#8217;oeuvres. She also gave me a tiny Lego-ish Christmas tree. That&#8217;s two trees for me this year, somehow tripling my previous high score.<\/p>\n<p>After we ate, I helped her pick up some 90 ounces of refried beans from Taco Villa so she and her family could make homemade bean burrito things. I still don&#8217;t get why they didn&#8217;t just refry their own beans, or even buy some cans. It would have been significantly cheaper, and less weird than carrying a box full of drink cups filled with refried beans. She also finally returned my PS3 that I had loaned her years ago. I&#8217;m not really sure what to do with it now, though.<\/p>\n<p>From there, I went to Summer&#8217;s place and hung out with her for the rest of the evening. She made Frito taco salad-y stuff for dinner after we picked up some things from Walmart, then we played <em>The Game of Life<\/em> with the girls before settling in for\u00a0<em>Aladdin<\/em>. I kept dozing off, but it&#8217;s okay because it&#8217;s Christmas break!<\/p>\n<p>To make things even better, I got my USB ethernet adapter in, so my PC is back in business.<\/p>\n<p><em>Instead of having a Christmas rush, could we just.. <strong>not<\/strong>?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We only had to work a half day today.
