The "not so happy" birthday
Just an update on how the birthday went the other day. One word comes to mind - TERRIBLE!
Yes, my birthday really was terrible all the way around. I spent most of it at work; dealing with meetings and planning sessions for the implementation of the new CMS we are getting at work. It just went on and on and on; grant it my work day started at 4:30am wednesday morning, and didn't end until 5:30pm wednesday evening. You talk about a long assed day.
Once I finally got out of work and made my way home, I was in a really bad mood and didn't really feel like doing anything. I struggled off and on all day to get ahold of April, who it turns out had an unfortunate accident with her cell phone. Phone was dropped in water or something, which explains why I couldn't get in touch with her. I ended up driving to her house, and banging on the door. Grrr.
April and I attempted to go out for dinner for my birthday, and I might have known that it would fall apart. We went to the Chili's restaurant here in town, and I must say that I was appauld by the poor service and low quality of the food. We got there, and were seated fairly quickly, and everything went to hell from there.
We sat there for more than 10 mins before anyone came over to take either drink or dinner orders, despite the fact that the waiter had walked past us repeatedly. Now, this place was no where near busy; in fact, the damn place was almost empty. So, in my estimation, there should have been no reason for us to have waited so long. We should have just walked out, and believe me, we certainly won't be going back. We won't be recommending the place to any of our friend either. Fuck Chili's and there baby back ribs too.
Anyway, after dinner I dropped April off at her place, so she could get her car and my presents. She showed up at my place with this huge chocolate chip cookie cake that said happy birthday mike. This thing is enormous; it weighs more than 5 pounds, and is about 14 inches in diameter and 3 inches thick. And sweet as hell. That cheered me up a bit, and the fact that she spent the night made it even better.
Anyway, I have things to do, so I'll write more when I feel like it. Ciao!
