Five Things Friday

[Maister]

4. I bought a computer game.

Which game?

[Midori]

1. I have comp time this afternoon. Hope I can get the house clean.
2. I always get way too ambitious for afternoons off and wind up disappointed when I can't clean the entire house, do 4 loads of laundry, go to the grocery store, bank, and Lowes, make dinner, and take a nap in the three hours I have off.
3. My boss seems happy with my work lately. This puts a spring in my step.
4. I'm like a puppy for approval.
5. I've been doing an awful lot of legal research for work lately.

[Hink]

Which game?

Anno 2070. I liked one of the previous versions.... we shall see. I hate the requirements that game makers have these days.... internet setup, connection etc. I won't support Sim City until they allow single player mode...

3. We watched a classic '80s movie on TV the other night: The Breakfast Club.

3. Everybody at work enjoys the Magic 8 Ball on my desk.

Maybe you can ask the Magic 8 Ball for me. It'll probably say "Try again later."

[kms]

1. I'm surprised at how many cars with Kentucky plates I see around Pittsburgh.
2. I worked two hours OT on a Friday because I have to pick up my son from a theater that's halfway between home and work.

[Maister]

1. I've run the air conditioner for maybe six hours so far this year
2. Tender roast beef would be nice for dinner tonight - too bad it ain't gonna happen
3. I've managed to stay more or less on an exercise regimen for nearly three weeks without too many lapses. That's kinda okay
4. Junior wants to have a sleepover for his birthday. I'm thinking about limiting him to two friends (and I have the feeling that will be bad enough)
5. I had an awesome beer last night made by Stone Brewing Co. ....but I can't remember it's name. It was black like molassas, bottle had a black label, and was a spiced ale of some sort.

Take those 26 minutes from the end of the day and have a mini-RJ.

[MD Planner]

1. This is the first Friday I've worked in quite a while. And I'll be off the next three. Can't complain about that I guess.
2. Dealing with a land use issue that has reached change.org. I really like when people from California weigh in on decisions in Maryland. NOT!
3. All I had for lunch was a big chocolate shake and I feel good about it.
4. Worked the Rolling Stones show in DC as part of the local crew Monday. Stood next to Lenny Kravitz for about half an hour while he watched from stage left.
5. Mick said he didn't think President Obama was there but that he was sure he was listening. Got a big laugh.

[Whose Yur Planner]

1. How did my weekend go from a very low key, nothing major to wondering if I'll be able to do it all?
2. Further proof of my mascoistic tendecies-I check the temp while know its still hot out there
3. The Crystal Method-that it all
4. Mixed feeling about vacation this year
5. Sounds like my fellow cyburbs are going through a rough patch. Let's be careful out there.

[Maister]

1. Even though it's a psuedo-four day weekend, that doesn't mean the business of the FAC grinds to a halt. No sirree!
2. I majorly have the garden bug today. Fortunately, I have one, it's the middle of summer and there's plenty to do.
3. Feels like a generally jocular mood around here today. That's good.
4. Having leftover rotisserie chicken tonight. meh.
5. I was going to comment on here about the woman I saw jogging at lunch, but my publicist strongly recommends against it. So instead, how about them Tigers?

[beach_bum]

1. Not much work is getting done around here...we are half-staffed and I'm not in the mood to get going on anything super challenging on a Friday.
2. We have been moved for 4 week and still not unpacked...BF is a very sentimental person and has a hard time throwing things away. Yesterday I was unsuccessful in convincing him that a shoe box full of old floppy disks was garbage Also if its a cord to some electronic (even if the electronic no longer exists) we CANNOT throw it away.
3. The latest tactics of my state legislature to quell public debate on diversive issues is beyond aggravating!
4. I've become a horrible plant mom, all my office plants look sad. I even killed my Christmas Cactus.
5. Too tired for a 5th thought...my upstairs neighbors were up late last night and their 'activities' kept me up late last night

[Midori]

1. My brother and his family are coming up from Florida next weekend.
2. They can be very hard to nail down on plans sometimes.
3. The guest bathroom has new flooring as of yesterday, of which I'm rather proud.
4. I'm scratching my head over a subdivision of a cell tower property with no road frontage or utilities.
5. Next task: Come up with PUD-type process for utility uses that don't meet normal sub regs.

[dvdneal]

1. I actually had two people to talk to today, one was a wrong number and the other an appraiser
2. I did some work, but I'm slacking big time today
3. Left over BBQ brisket for dinner - Yum!
4. I bought some new running shoes yesterday. I can't wait to try them out, but after the thrill is gone I'll still be running
5. Good fire works show from all my neighbors, glad I didn't buy any.

[imaplanner]

1. Surprisingly busy at work today with the public.
2. Can't get the song Wagon Wheel out of my head right now after hearing someone playing it in their car.
3. Looking forward to some river action this weekend.

2. I'm leaving early today to get my hair cut.
3. It's so damn hot that I feel like shaving my head (but it wouldn't be a good look for me).
4. I wish we had a sprinkler that I could run through.
5. Begging baby chickadees make the cutest little noises

5. Begging baby chickadees make the cutest little noises

Not when your daughter has a toy that makes that sound and she doesn't stop because she knows it annoys you. Batteries can get lost, I'd feel guilty if I pulled the battery out of a real chicky.
