so today i’m mired in a little slump.. my week has been horrible.. monday and tuesday out with the flu. wednesday i worked 15 hours. thursday a total write off, i had to do presentations and hold the hand of some peeps who can’t understand technology (yet seem doomed to present it to people). and today i got in and can’t even seem to get started. my total output for the day: 0. well, that’s not strictly true. i did book a flight back to canuckland for my cousin’s wedding, and reserve a rental car. but other than that… yeah. so around 12:30 i’m feeling a little disparaged, a little down, and so on.. and in need of a little comfort food. (no, not cap’n todd’s cheezy tuna surprise, johnny rockets) for those of you not in the know, johnny rockets is a 50’s style hamburger joint. a friend of mine is the manager of the great mall outlet, and as long as i don’t ask for a ‘chili fountain pie’ or “that burger on the door” then i’m fine. so i went in for one of his special treats: super coney rings. start with onion rings. add chili. add cheese. add onion. add tobasco. add zantac-75. mmmmm. deliciously spicy, and enough grease to keep a fleet of taxi’s in working order for at least 6 months. sometimes i’ll feel like a jimm-ay shake(tm). equal parts chocolate shake, oreo cookie shake, and coffee shake, it’s a treat not to be equalled on this planet (or at least in milpitas). top it off with a smokehouse or a st louis (hold the salad) and i’m a little fatter, a little gassier, and a lot happier. i’m not even really worried about not-gettin stuff done. off to sleep!
