349.0. "T.G.I.M." by POLAR::WILSONC () Sun Mar 19 1995 20:43

    T.G.I.M.
     
           Well its monday, which means my week is over. What are you going
    to do during the week? I am going to sleep 4 or 5 hrs this morning
    (night shift) then shower, shave and relax with a book for a couple of
    hours. Later I will cook my dinner, eat it, then go for a swim. A
    little more reading and thenb to bed again. When I wake up tuesday
    mornig my "weekend" will be in full swing until friday. For the most
    part I will be shopping for a new stereo sys, kitchen table, just
    basically getting ready to move at the end of the month. 
    
    God I love mondays!

    utility to generate shell scripts for the video test suite which
    I have to write for Digital, there's a story on SMSL due to the
    publisher, there's a story-board due for part of a new CD-ROM
    project I'm working on, there's rehearsal tonight, Wednesday and

    side next Sunday, there's.... there's more, I just lost track

drunk?
349.17HBFDT1::SCHARNBERGSenior KodierwurstMon Mar 20 1995 11:353

    having diner. (e.g. greasy chips in yesterday's Sun w/ some fish
    from last week or so. Rat tart comes to mind as well)

    My father can sleep with his eyes open.  So my poor mom puts in a movie
    and keeps watching my father to make sure he is still awake.  Little
    did she know that while he was staring at the tube, he was actually
    sleeping.
    
    My dad says he has to keep using these little tricks or else my mom
    will drive him nuts.

happen?

	Steve, is this the tube you ordered that will allow beer to flow into
you like an iv?
349.24CSOA1::LEECHGo Hogs!Mon Mar 20 1995 13:137
    Ah...no.   Althought I admit I like a good (meaning not American
    mass-produced carbonated water) beer or two now and then, I think an iv
    is going a bit far in my case.  However, an old roomate of mine from my
    early college days would have gone for something like that.  8^)  He
    was particularly fond of the "beer bong".  8^)

    today after work,  cathcing up on the things I normally do over the
    weekend, minor stuff like grocery shopping, paying bills, ordering
    seeds.

    mouse on Wednesday for her school play.  
    
    Stretching sore muscles and recovering from a weekend with 17 little
    girls.  The shakedown overnighter went well enough that we feel the two
    nighter may be succesful.
