First Work Week of 2016 has ended

Woo its FRIDAY, actually its technically Saturday because I wanted to finish the book I was reading so I'm a bit tardy in my Friday check in.

Anyway... today started off interestingly. I walk into work, the guard literally cringes when he sees me walk in. Now the guy is new, I live in Pittsburgh and I'm from Massachusetts so my Patriots hoodie may have thrown him off. But it got better, and keep in mind I've been wearing this hoodie since the weather turned to fall, I get into the elevator. One guy gets in after me, immediately asks me how much money I lost on the bet, you know because Pittsburgh. So that was my amusing start to the day. I feel like Pittsburgh is already afraid and its our bye week.

Also much to my chagrin and the amusement of my coworkers my voice is still as hoarse as it was yesterday. Maybe hopefully by Monday I'll be back to normal. Also I met some new people this week, on the phone at least, so when I'm back to normal they wont recognize me. However one of my co workers, with whom I've had at least 4 calls with since Wednesday. We spoke had about a half hour meeting to polish up a dashboard report and then we ended our little meeting gave ourselves 5 minutes before the next call. I call into the next call and she no longer recognized my voice, I had literally spoken with her 5 minutes earlier and I didnt magically change in that time. That however made me laugh which lead to a small coughing fit, but it was kind of worth it.

My friend Kim picked up my prize from the CW office downtown today. Oh yeah I won a contest for a season of one of their shows. In this contest thing I know they asked your preference, mine was Arrow, then Flash then Supernatural.. what show's season set did I end up with... Vampire Diaries. Now I've seen the show, but its not a show I want to watch every week, its like a filler show if nothing else is on.... oh well its free and there's always ebay.

If you wanted to know what book I was reading it was Stolen by Kelley Armstrong. I read Bitten over the holiday break, it came in my horror block. Now its not my usual genre for books. But I like them, and more over I like the writing. I knew I'd like Bitten by page 2 because the writing was vivid and engrossing. I rarely read a series, but I think I'll keep going with these.... probably stop at half price books tomorrow. I know I could do an e book but there is still something about a physical paper bound book that is nicer. And when I fly I always prefer paperback to digital, not that I flew anywhere with Stolen, its Bitten I used for flying and I only took it because I didnt want an ebook and I needed a read.... good choice on my part!
