Of COURSE I finally get around to updating this and the browser crashes when I'm about done, causing loss of the entry. Here's Take II

   I forgot my company holiday party was yesterday. Despite people mentioning holiday parties all weekend I somehow managed not to remember that it was Sunday (it helped that I think the only time I'd ever been told the date was when I casually asked the previous monday). It wasn't until I got out of the shower at 7:15pm that I realized I had missed calls and texts of "where are you" that I was like OH MY GOD!!
   When there's only six people at your workplace, you will be missed.
   As quickly as I could I threw some clothes on and got myself down to Laguna Beach (about half an hour away).
   Dave had aranged $80 a person dinner for us at the White House in LB, and I'd ALREADY EATEN! )=
   Anyway, they were still on the first course when I got there (lobster bisque), so that was good. Second course was spinache & brie salad. Followed by some kind of sushie (ahi ahi?), I tasted a bit of it and then distributed the rest of mine to everyone else. Allegedly it was delicious. Finally we had steak (some kind of expensive cut no doubt) which was delicious, and lobster. I got halfway through my steak before reaching terminal fullness (definitely took the rest of the plate home in a to-go box).
   Around the time I was slowing to a stop on eating, the girls at the next table over randomly bought me a shot of tequila. Silly. (=

   Another highlight of the evening was when in the middle of dinner Jeremy informed everyone "hey I got a score of 260,000 on canyon defence!!" "Bullshit!!" declared Bob, or Ryan, or both. "You know, I THOUGHT you'd say that!..." says Jeremy, taking out his cameraphone with a sly grin, and showing everyone a picture.




   This morning I was awoken by a text from Jeremy saying "Don't come into work unless it stops raining, call first." And lo, it was indeed pouring outside. Called Dave around nine and he said just not to come in today (can't work on bees in the rain). All this while snug in bed! (=
   We've got christmas tree (finally) and I've been wearing a santa hat all day (hey its warm!), so I think its officially christmastime!


   In unrelated news, I think this ad is actually pretty funny: The Doghouse




   Looks like I'll be marauding Nor Central Cal (anywhere from San Jose to Davis to Santa Rosa) the week of New Years. Have plans 30th-5th but 27-30th is still open, so if you live up there and want to do something awesome drop me a line!

Yeah I thought it was kind of stupid when I found out the "moral" was that only diamonds from JC Penny will get you out of the doghouse, but other than that I thougt it was funny.

Haha the lads have discovered the joys of millions of recyclers and are regularly breaking 1,000,000 themselves! I'll have to ask them what their record currently stands at (though 1,389,234 IS higher than anything I recall hearing!)

Yeah, at first I was like: do these things stack? I forgot to send the screenshot to my home email from work, so I had to go about doing it again. My finger is tired. In the end, you just can't click fast enough to place the recyclers- my guess is that the super high scores are gotten by autoclickers of some sort.

I got 6,703,734 this morning- I guess you don't need proof since you know the trick :)
