Lately, I would have a little overtime accumulated during the week. Which means that I could work a shorter Friday. Today was no exception. I had some extra time from the previous days and my plan was to leave work a little earlier.
Isn't there some saying about "the best laid plans ..."?
I had to take care of a few little tasks. On the surface, no big deal. Which is probably why I underestimated them and put them off during the day.
Well, when it comes time to work on these tasks, nothing goes as planned. A piece of code that I wrote probably over a year ago wasn't working. Why was it not working? That's still a mystery. The code is fine. It's been working each and every time it's been used over that year or so. The system that controls the code wasn't executing it properly. Why? Completely baffled on that one. Even the tech help that controls the system was baffled. And all that was needed was to display an image on a web page.
Then I had to make sure that some articles appeared on the site. Again, simple enough task. Only it's not so simple when there are no articles. Had to go through the whole process of finding/sending/editing/editing again. Takes a while.
But hey, at least I get paid overtime.
Oh, the title of this post. Yeah, you see, when I finally left work, what I wanted to do was go somewhere and drink. That's not exactly the best idea when it's just me and I'm not in a happy mood. So I decided to just head home, find some food and watch TV.
Until I got to the Madison exit. Driving past Malco, I decided that what I needed was to let loose in a way. So I pulled up and went to go see 'The Hangover'.
I can't think of the words to describe how funny this movie is. It's not 'check your brain at the door' funny. It's just flat out great.
I'm in a better mood now. If I could only have a night kinda like those guys had. Kinda.
