Reflections on Friday the 13th

Yesterday was especially “far-out.” I guess Friday the 13th had both good things and bad things to offer.

This week I’ve been working on my SSLS 888 final assignment. I was about ¼ of the way done when yesterday morning I decided to review the specific instructions. What I realized was that I had completely done the wrong things. I was researching and writing about topics that the instructor did not want in the assignment. Basically, I had to scrap almost everything and book it to the Library for more research materials. I stayed up until 2:00 a.m. working on it. Then I got up this morning and finally finished it around 2:00 p.m. Whew, at least it’s finally done and the course is over.

While I was working on my paper, I got a phone call from the company I interviewed with and they wanted to offer me the job. I decided to take it. I start Monday (right after my drug test). Yay, employment!

At about 10:00, I got up from my paper to grab a snack and noticed this little guy on the wall. He's a Brown Recluse and he totally freaked me out. I snapped this picture before I smooshed his hairy ass! I was creeped out for the rest of the night.


Nico didn't have a good day yesterday. He had major issues with the crown molding in the bathroom. He got the bathroom cleaned, the lights put up, and the outlet covers on before the crown molding retaliated.

The really bad part of his day happened last night. Nico’s truck got smashed while he was visiting a friend. He was not in the car, so he didn’t get hurt. He didn’t even see who hit him. He was able to drive it home, but it’s pretty much totaled. Okay, let’s be honest, the truck was on its last leg. But he really, really loved it and is heartbroken about its condition.

Maybe he should start working harder for that Yaris. :)
