The Countdown Begins
That's right: Labor Day is gone and thus has begun the end...of summer. Fall will be here soon (I can't wait!), then winter (I can wait!). Holidays galore are soon to arrive...please, please, please. lol. On the other hand, it's also the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.O horror! :-O

Today was a good day. First, it wasn't Monday, the usual beginning of the work week, and second, I was actually able to clear off my desk for the first time in months. That's right, I didn't leave a single job sitting to be done for tomorrow. Of course, there will be jobs left for me tonight for me to work on early in the morning, but still! I also was able to get it all done and myself out the door at 6p!!

The tiny blot on today was that I went out for dinner, and after 15 minutes of waiting for someone just to come by in a restaurant that was totally not busy (we're talking maybe 4 tables of people, total, plus another 3 sets at the open bar), we walked out, something I've only ever done once before. Yep, I walked out of a restaurant without ordering and it was for the same reason. The sad thing is that this restaurant has always been ok before. Grrrr!

And just so you know where I'm coming from, I've also waited tables before and even bartended (which is kind of ironic, considering that I don't drink alcohol), so I know things can get crazy in restaurants and some customers can be total jerks. However, this restaurant was practically empty and it was 6:30p! Grrrr x 2!
