--Breakdown - Jack Johnson

So when I picked Jimmy up to go to work on Friday after having took Thursday off, he dropped - ever so casually - in our conversation that he had over heard the boss lady and another employee discussing my taking a "business trip"... I laughed at him and told him he surely must have misunderstood since I have only been here for like three months and I am not nearly valuable enough to be investing plane tickets in to yet.
And with that in mind I pretty much blew off the conversation when we got to work and got pretty busy processing my inbox which had mysteriously filled up in my absence.
Then the lady who I really like shoed up around 10:30 and after she got settled in she asked me if the boss lady had spoken to me. I asked her about what and then she said - under her breath - "about the trip?"
I told her she hadn't and then asked her why she thought that she would and she said that they had indeed been talking about it the day before.
So, around lunch time the boss lady summons me to her office and asks me if I would be available to go to North Carolina. I told her I didn't see why not and BAM! Plane tickets were bought, rental car reservations were made and hotel accommodations were secured. And on Sunday (October 8th), I will be scooting my butt over to the airport so I can fly to NC.
Bet ya'll didn't know I used to live in NC... once upon about a million years ago. We lived in a town called Boone (and I have no idea where it is located now because I am shit at geography) where it snowed and where I saw snow for the very last time when I was six years old. It is also where I broke my arm riding my yellow bike up a hill. I so dug that bike. It had one of those banana seats and it was yellow and pretty and I just knew without a doubt that I could make it up that hill that all the big kids were riding up with such apparent ease. Yeah, so couldn't do it. Got like half way up the hill and my bike started rolling backwards and then I fell off and my arm got caught in the chain and the bike kept going and me not so much. I had to wear a cast for like six weeks and then my dad wouldn't let me keep it after he cut it off. The only other thing I remember about NC is that we had a black lab and she had a whole slew of puppies and one of the died because it got out in the snow. The other memories are those of my parents and fighting and we will just leave those alone for now because I don't feel like souring my good mood.
So, dear reader, I will be heading to NC Sunday morning and coming home Wednesday night. I'm not sure how much getting online I will be able to accomplish on account of my not having a laptop and the fact that the last hotel I was at wouldn't let me access my blog because "this computer is blocking that site because it is classified as: porn". Like any time in the last year my blog has reported anything even remotely close to porn!
I fly into Raleigh and then drive to Winston-Salem, where I will be staying and which I honestly thought was THE Salem until I googled and found out that THE Salem is in Massachusetts (which I just butchered so badly that the spell checkers only guess as to what I was trying to spell was "Masochists"). So, if you know of any cool shit to do there, email me or leave me a comment because I will have a car.
Ok, that's all for updates for now... have to work :)
Have a great day everyone!
