Saturday Night in Thrillsville
A pleasantly quiet Saturday night.
Sparkycus is at his grandparents and Spartucus is safely tucked in the basement playing nerd, er, I mean computer games with his friends. Yes, it makes me roll my eyes and twitch, but at least he's not out spending money and getting wasted ... every Saturday night. I feel abandoned once a week but don't really know what else to do. I don't have money to throw around and what with it being summer, most or all of my friends have headed to the lakes anyway. I need a hobby that doesn't make me sweat (not that it would be harmful were I to actually move around) or cost anything.
'Gave blood this morning. The local blood bank is low 600 units. That number floors me. If you're able to give, please contact your local office and arrange to do so. Visit www.givelife.org or www.unitedbloodservices.org for a center near you.
Went to work after the blood letting. There were four other people (all in my department) there trying to catch up. We're fairly busy plus it's review time and we have a team-review policy where we all fill out feedback forms regarding one another. Every six months, mind you. As the production manager, I am responsible for collating information from three different sources and sharing the info with another manager for four people plus collating and conducting actual reviews for three of my own "kids". I can not fathom doing this on a grand scale. Sitting down and giving your own opinion and calling it good? Sure. But if I have to copy/paste anything else tonight, I'll probably cry.
'Going to the Cities on September 29 for a Twins game on the 30th with some of my "kids" from work. They're all in their early 20's. We're going to try to go out downtown that night but I have no clue what is what or where. Anybody have any ideas? My idea of fun is going to a zoo, museum or a festival of some sort, so bar-hopping with the youngun's should be interesting.
My eyes are crossing from staring at a screen, which is okay, because I feel like I'm posting about nothing.
Carry on, my wayward sons. (man, I love that song)

You could try to get them to go to Gameworks in Block E (Video games, bowling alley, bar). There's a bazillion other bars to hit that'll be a little more to the 20's-ish tastes. I say take 'em to First Avenue, the only bar that matters in my book (if only because it was in Purple Rain). Atmosphere is playing there the 29th & 30th. http://www.first-avenue.com/calendar/event_1184.aspx
Or skip the bars, march them into SexWorld (you can't miss it - look for the neon lights on Washington) and see who's jaw can hit the floor first.
I've heard stories of SexWorld ... if they weren't my employees, I would SO do it.
