I went to lunch at the Slowest Thai Restaurant Evar today. Which was fine. It’s Friday, I can deal with slow service.

I brought my LAN textbook into the restaurant to read. It was very crowded in the restaurant. And loud. And the chapter I’m in… well,once you get past the seven-layer burrito networking schemas, it gets over my head pretty fucking fast. Not easy reading when I’m surrounded by a wall of babble.

So I got up, ran out to my car, grabbed my copy of Stiff and ran back in.

I left a good tip, despite the slow service. I figure, if they gotta put up with a loner girl cackling while reading a book about dead bodies and eating the chicken satay, they should at least be compensated for the privilege.

I am physically present at work, but mentally I have already left the building.

I forgot ONE key thing in packing– my adapter plug for my laptop. Without it, I can’t plug it into a projector for my presentation on Sunday. Whoops. I’m such a dummy sometimes.

I still have some to-do’s to scratch off my list this morning, but I am SOOOOO unmotivated.
