My Happy Friday

So we’ve now spent our first week plus in the house “officially” and of course something had to go wrong! We had a leak from what looked like the upstairs bathroom into the downstairs bathroom. The contractor comes over with his partner and I point them to the issue. They start speaking in Hungarian, and while I have no clue what they said, I knew it wasn’t good.

He looks at me and nonchalantly says I have to rip out the wall and fix the leak. I say ok and he leaves. Lucky for me that I won’t be paying for that one.

That, I believe, happened on Saturday, which happened to be my mother’s birthday. She was too cool to go to the movies with me and I have an outside suspicion that she may have “big timed” me.

On Monday I spent the entire day outside the office. We had a crazy installation at Novo Nordisk that I wish I had pictures of. We created these life-size graphics of their employees and placed them throughout the building.

 After that I hit the road and made my way out to Atlantic City to meet my favorite Vice President, Andrea, for a trade show.

When I made my way into my room I realized that the people before me didn’t check out yet. I found a laptop, some dirty socks, “underwear,” mardi gras beads and beer. With a little help from Andrea, we got me another room.

Funny thing about that room was there were no garbage cans and no remote. I woke up in the morning and I couldn’t get any hot water out of the shower. That Taj Mahal was a major disaster. Outside of a terrible room I did have a great time with Andrea, as usual.

Before I left the hotel, I went to pick up my car from the valet and I ended up getting the service for free. The woman waived the 15 bucks because she saw my Dallas Cowboys hat. I guess we have fans everywhere!

On the way back home I had to endure the second rate Philly stations and their knock off Phillies songs. There and back was a tough four hours of driving.

I decided that I would wear my Yankees hat to work on Wednesday to annoy Kurt. It worked and by lunch he went home and picked up that fire engine red Phillies jacket and hat. It actually turned out that his wife scored some tickets to game 1 of the series so he ended up there that night.

Thursday was another Yankee hat day and I after I saw Jay Z perform during the pregame I told Kurt the game was over and I was right.

Today, it’s my Virginia Tech shirt and Virginia Tech Yankees hat. It’s only right!

I hope you have a great weekend!

Go Yankees!

Yes! It’s Friday and I think everyone is happy the weekend is here. I’m not sure what it is, but everyone is busy! I’m hoping to spend my weekend digging out from the mess I’ve created over the last few weeks trying to close on this house.

I’d like to thank Andrea for my Friday morning amusement last week. She seems to think that Rachel “… IS preggo[.] See, [I remember] all those stomach bugs a few months back. LIAR!!!” And I respond “Yep. Good job, Sherlock. You guessed it. Be sure to reserve your spot at the baby shower. ;)”

I was surprised by how many people, including Kurt, thought that I should actually make that Jesus signature my sign off. I’ll take a pass on that one.

Sunday was Rachel’s birthday and we spent some time at the house with her mother and then they went out.

If you happen to be looking for a job Ray hooked me up with this document. That’s two weeks of job looking for heaven! Please pass that along.

On Tuesday we closed on the house. I found it amusing that they tried to tell us that we didn’t have enough money to close two hours before the closing. The smart bank people figured it out and we closed seven minutes before 5 p.m. It took my Babe Ruth Yankee hat and high school t-shirt to get it done. Since I don’t believe in luck, I find it amusing what a terrible transaction could drive me to.

Luckily it’s over and we popped a nice bottle of our favorite white star Moët. Bob, that’s some “good drink” man!

Wednesday we had to eat out so I stopped at this place called Moe’s. I walked in and the guy says, “we’re closed.” I said, “You’re closed?” He said, “No. Welcome to Moe’s.” If you’re looking for some good Mexican food, that’s the place!

Thursday was the renowned Yankee/A Rod hater’s birthday, Jeremy. You’re cool with me bro. This exploding handshake is to you.

Other than that, I’m gone! For those of you who can “stomach” the very funny Tracy Morgan, check out this clip. As Jeremy says, “somebody gonna get pregnant!”

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).

Amen. Praise the lord, Jesus Christ, your lord and savior! Just kidding, but I’ve been telling Kurt that I wanted to make that my signature. I was looking for something as annoying as his “Phillies 2008 World Champions” or “Please think about the environment before you print this e-mail.”

Anyway, we’re back in the saddle and on track. I’m in the new house and I now have internet. After a battle with Cablevision I finally got this thing rocking and rolling. So we’ve trying to buy this house that we’ve been living in for the past few weeks, but the banks are tight with the money these days. I actually think the bank thinks that I was laundering money because I had “suspicious” withdrawal and deposit patterns. Very interesting.

Maybe I shouldn’t be mad since I lied and told them that Rachel was five months pregnant to push things along, but hey after three weeks I was desperate. For those of you who like to skim we’re registered at Target, Baby’s R Us and ummmm Toys R Us.

So if you are like me, ensuring that people know the correct way to sneeze is important. You should watch this video if you’re unsure. And if you’re worried about the Swine Flu go grab a shot. See that Barb, it’s all about prevention!

I have to once again give it to South Park for bringing back my “bro” Billy Mays. This clip is classic. Watching clips like that will keep you happy enough to work until 100.

Anyway, I’d like to introduce you my new hero King Curtis. At eight, he is wise beyond his years.

And hey, on Wednesday Jane W. turned like 29 or 92 or something like that. Happy Birthday. A few weeks back my little god son Omar turned two. Hey, little man!

If you didn’t know, today is boss’s day so do something nice for your boss.

Until next week……………………..

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).

Ladies and gentleman, what we have here is a failure to communicate. No really we do. I forgot to mention a bunch of stuff last week so let’s start with that!

First thing I forgot was to mention Rachel’s birthday a few Saturday’s ago. She was out getting a makeover while I sat around watching TV. She came back blonde and Joe J. is right, I think I like blondes better! Anyway, we went to dinner at Big Fish with her mother after Rachel opened the 25 gifts for her 25^th birthday her mother gave her. We had a blast at dinner.

Another thing I didn’t mention was when I came into work one morning and saw big sunglasses, a Bluetooth headset and coffee on the counter! I knew Andrea was close. I look up and BOO! She scared the bahjesus out of me! I liked that Andrea! I owe you one.

For you Halloween fans, the queen of Halloween, Christie, found this pumpkin simulator. If you liked the bubble wrap, you’ll like this.

If you happen to have some cash sitting around collecting dust under your mattress or in a low interest rate account, you might want to check out Dollar Savings Direct. They have a 4.0% APY, which is insane right now. They are a division of Emigrant Bank and are FDIC insured. Check it out!

Ok; that’s the worthwhile stuff I forgot. If you are into technology at all, you have to check this out. Thanks to Kurt and Christie for that one.

If you’re into cool tricks and possibly soccer like I am you’ll love this! Those girls are talented!

In the office we’ve been debating whether this video is real or not, but either way it’s probably the funniest thing I’ve seen this week.

While I was watching football on Sunday I saw the weirdest/funniest commercial ever. Can someone tell me how they convinced A-Rod to do this in his boxer briefs? I know the obvious answer, but wow. Pat, Kobe’s in it! And speaking of Kobe, I picked up Kobe on my fantasy basketball team! I smell victory!

Since a bunch of us are getting married, just got married, are married or are just divorced I think this is an intriguing story for us. What’s more amazing to you, the fact that he lost more than 500 pounds or that they took him to the reception on a flat bed truck?

Tuesday I realized that Rachel won our NFL pool! How cool is that? It turns out Amber won a pool at her job too for the World Series.

Speaking of the World Series; all of the Phillies fans are coming out of the wood work since they won. I respect it, but here’s my thing: if you’re going to wear a jersey, t-shirt, hat or put a magnet on your car after they win a title you really should do it every other day too. I’m thinking that makes you a front runner even if you are a fan. LOL.

Anyway, CONGRATS, Kurt. There, I said it! And I mean it.

So I got this link early on Wednesday from the Chuckster! If this Presidential race hasn’t already been sensationalized, it is now!

I have to leave you with a funny Dilbert. I love it because I like to use that “sexy” word—it’s so appropriate.

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).

So! So! So! what do we have here? It’s another happy Friday! I’ve been noticing that work’s been so much more fun lately. It could just be me, but it feels like everyone else is having a good time there too. Whatever, I’m just happy to be smiling.

I’m not sure if I was at work or if it was just after I got back from counseling, but I talked to Jennifer S. on yahoo messenger for a bit. Yahoo has this funky new way to message while you’re in your e-mail so I find myself always talking to someone.

Anyway, there is a new post on ifinallydidit.com. I posted an intriguing message about our Iast pre-marital counseling session. You may want to check that out.

It turns out I offended yet another person by not including them on the blog distribution list. So here you go, Christie. You’re part of the “revolution” now. J

To my new copyeditor and any other copy editors out there, bear with me! I tend to write these at weird times and I’m not always able to proofread appropriately. I’m sorry about that, but if LP (a professional writer) can read this and not complain can’t you? LOL. Next time if I skip a word, use your imagination.

The clear highlight of my week was an e-mail debate I had with one of you that lasted all week about who we were voting for. Turns out this person came out of the closet and had an unbelievable desire to tell me why I was out of my mind for supporting who I supported. This person reminded me of all of the Yankee and Cowboy haters I was telling you about. Can someone explain to me why you must hate the other side and not just love your own side? That doesn’t seem right does it? Maybe this person will yell at me some more and tell me I’m crazy over the weekend. I really enjoyed the 30 e-mails we exchanged.

Cleo is fundraising for a project she is working on for her chapter of the Red Cross. You should check out the information here.

For anyone who knows someone (a female) who is looking for a scholarship you may want to pass them this link.

Today happens to be my mother’s birthday. She doesn’t read this, but I’ll say Happy Birthday anyway. Happy Birthday!

So I created a new blog post on I Finally Did It, a full blog post on My Happy Friday and now I’m done. I’m going to go home and take some sleeping pills and wake up sometime tomorrow afternoon because I need some sleep. Now some of you just read that and didn’t realize it was a joke. You should now stop and smile. It was a joke. LOL. I do need some sleep, but I think I’ll exhaust myself with a workout or run then hit the bed!

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).

Ohhhhhhhhh yes! Today is what I like to call maximum Happy Friday. I am soooooo off!

Rachel and I took a day off for her birthday tomorrow. Not sure what we’re going to do, but it definitely won’t be going to work!

So, ok; last week was a weird week for the blog—it happens. For some reason all of the links were black. They were there, just black. If you missed them check it out again! There was some cool stuff in there. I did notice the issue, but I’m always happy when I get a special note from my old buddy Alli!

I also got a verbal poke from, Kurt. Apparently, I had some grammatical errors in the blog. It doesn’t happen often, but it happens. So now he wants to be my proofreader. That’s pretty funny. Thanks for the offer.

I found this video of a TV host who proposed to his TV host girlfriend on air. I feel upstaged. That’s a pretty cool proposal!

I spent most of Saturday with my family at my aunt’s house. That was fun and interestingly enough my cousin and I didn’t argue like we usually do. That’s usually the best part. Maybe next time!

Do you mind if I randomly say hello to someone? Hello, Meghan.

Anyway, I’ve been talking to Jane of JWI Events pretty much every day to help her prepare for a few big meetings she is working on. If you don’t know Jane she is THE BEST. Her humor is the great. I so enjoy her stories.

I had a conversation with Joe J. about football and he had me cracking up with his football stats. He loves his QB over mine. Even though the numbers say one thing he’s always got a funny come back to justify his stance.

So how about this video? Little Omar is walking! That’s pretty cool. It’s just too bad I wasn’t there. If you listen to the video closely you’ll hear an Obama ad in the background. That’s too funny.

On Tuesday several people, including Ryan C.F., Kelly F. and others, continued to voice their disgust for my sports teams. It still amazes me that you can’t be a fan of one team without hating another. You Yankee and Cowboy haters should be ashamed!

After a long day at work, Joe J. pulled out his acoustic guitar and played a few popular hits! That was pretty exciting!

Oh yeah, by the way, it was also Jane’s birthday!

Wednesday I was awakened with an e-mail from Adrian about tropical storm Omar! Tropical storm OMAR!

For those of you who’ve been asking, IFinallyDidIt was updated.

In case you didn’t hear me before, there is a little hurricane named Omar. And to keep up that theme the quote of the week goes to Chris M. who said, “Thanks Omar. And by the way, stop attacking Puerto Rico! :)” That was pretty funny.

By Thursday, I (Omar) was updated to a category 3 hurricane. Thanks for the update, Christie.

I guess my sweater and tie was a bit too preppy because Bill asked me if I was on my way to a young republicans meeting. That was funny.

Speaking of republicans; this guy is a nut! He named his daughter Sarah McCain Palin. That was his contribution to the campaign in lieu of a donation that he couldn’t afford.

Here’s my last political piece for you. Funny, no?

We rounded out our day with a bit of a celebration for boss’s day for Jerry. Drinks, food and quoits; just what I needed!

For those of you looking to improve your finances, Suze Orman is coming to Rutgers soon. Here is the information.

So, eh… I’m done. Was this long enough for you, Kurt?

By the way, if your team wins a game or a playoff or a championship, don’t wear their jersey to work the next day. LOL.

I’m so funny.

Good day to you.

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).

Da’ Da’ Da’ don’t you know the bird is the word! Sunday showcased one of the funniest episodes of Family Guy ever! It was also highly annoying! Check out that clip.

Anyway, I think that one of our friends had baby on Friday, but I can’t confirm so we’ll wait for the official word next week. What I can confirm is that lil’ Isiah had a birthday on Friday. His mother, Kya, had a great little bash for his first birthday. She ram jammed a gazillion people in her apartment, most of them crazy kids and chaos ensued! Rachel and I had a blast!

My buddy Raymond sent me this nice interactive survey that helps you figure out which presidential candidate is closest to your ideals. I ended up with the guy I thought I would. You should try it.

Now I know you heard about OJ. I find that story really intriguing. I was telling Jerry and Pat that when he first was on trial that I realized that I really had no clue what was going on because I was only 12. Too funny. I amused by the thought of me at 12.

Anyway, I’m pretty excited because I’m going to get to work with my old friend Ira on a nice project for his team. We confirmed that this week and it should be a bunch of fun.

Here’s a nice clip that you sports fans should find amusing. It’s the basketball player Kevin Love. He has the best trick shot game I’ve ever seen.

With Halloween around the corner some people’s take of the holiday are floating around the internet. Here’s a funny one from Tom. Here’s a not so funny one from Cleo.

The old tried and true man of the world is back! How do you feel about this new commercial featuring Mc Hammer? I think it’s classic. Apparently, he’s also one of a bunch of celebrities starting their own web businesses. His is dancejam.com

In what has to be the funniest/most spiteful divorces ever, this guy thought the best way to settle his divorce would be to saw his house in half. Too funny! Thanks for the link, Kurt.

I was talking to Pat about blu ray discs and Joe J. comes in and starts talking about his plasma. That started the best argument about what was better, his plasma or my LCD. Do any of you have plasmas? LCDs rule!

Someone sent me this video. Who knew you should eat yellow snow?

Ok. Ok. Here’s just one more video. That one’s from Bob M.

Anyway, I think I need to start paying more attention because I don’t have enough to talk about lately. I’ll work on that for next week!

Have a great day!

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).

Hey! What’s better than waking up and being me you ask? Waking up, being me and watching this commercial. Funny what they put on TV these days. You might want to turn your speakers down when you watch it. It’s clean, but, well you’ll understand.

Anyway, Jessica said I should update my engagement blog and I think she’s right. I’ll have to dig up some new news, or make some.

So I stopped by Tyco to drop off a project to my friend Paula. Before I left I went to grab a piece of candy and her stupid Halloween “hand” moved and scared the crap out of me.

If you’ve ever thought your commute was bad check out a cold day in the life of Russian commuters via Cleo.

I spent Friday night with two of my ladies—Amber and Rachel. We went to the Liberty playoff game. I’m not sure how it happened, but I got really cheap floor seats and we were feet away from the away bench. Outside of trying to watch the game over the stupid players who wouldn’t sit, we had a great time!

I have no memory of what I did over the weekend the rest of the weekend. All I remember is going to my mailbox and seeing Tony. I guess it couldn’t have been too great.

I apparently missed the second SNL skit about Palin, which made me realize I missed the interview it was based on. I was amused, you?

Monday, was my super friend, Rebecca B’s, Bday. By the way, you got married? Really?

It may just be me, but I thought we lived in New Jersey. Aren’t gas shortages for hurricane states? I went to a gas station by my house and they had NO gas, illustrated by the NO GAS sign in this picture. Weird.

Wednesday we had a “Chillin’ and Grillin’” day at JK Design! It was great. Food everywhere! I saved my appetite and had two chilli dogs, a hot dog and a nice cheeseburger. I couldn’t bring myself to have a fried Oreo though. I have to thank Kurt for grilling, Barb for setting it up and Jerry for introducing me to a new game, quoits, that I could dominate!

Thursday I spent the first half of my day in Horsham doing a favor for a colleague. Horsham? I know, right. Don’t ask, don’t tell that’s my policy!

Remember the cheap movie tickets I told you about a few weeks ago? I picked up a few and they came in so now you know it’s legit. J

I think I have a date after work so I’m going to run so I can leave on time!

I’ll leave you with 10 ways to be happy at work!

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).

So I’m in a weird mood—strangely unexplainable. Oh well I guess—haha. So Friday, Jane became my new “big” client. How very exciting is that! If I’m not mistaken, Kurt told me about a prison dance that you can see here, but I found a new one here. After work, I stopped by Jon’s house and saw Danielle S. and little Joey. Joey is so cute.

Saturday, I realized I forgot to tell you that my pops, Raymond G., bowled a fricken 298 last Monday. What! Ray, you’re a stud. So I woke up early on Sunday and made my way over to Ray’s Sporting Goods to meet my uncle Thomas. We hit the shooting range and I had a great day. Check out my 40 caliber target and my 357 caliber target. According to my uncle my “grouping” was excellent.

When I left I got gas and the gas pump flew out of my tank and hit the ground—random. Later that day Rachel and I went to Kya’s house to see the family and Isiah. We played Wii and he peed all over the ladies—haha. Now if you ever get this drunk I’m thinking rehab is the only answer. After work, Andrea W., her husband and I drove down to Atlantic City for a healthcare tradeshow. Andrea calls me “OJO” now, funny!

When we got there we were met by a loser bellman with a bad attitude and the worst raspy voice you’ve ever heard. He was rude to us and it turns out the idiot made a mistake and gave us the wrong person’s cloths. I spent the night playing Wii of course.

Tuesday morning, I was up early for the show. Andrea didn’t waste any time helping me get my feet wet. She threw me to the wolves and I was selling to perspective clients—nice. We meet a few cool folks who were in booths beside us. After spending a few hours at the show, we realized it was a bit slow. Andrea ok’d my idea to hook up the Wii to bring in some more people. If you play it, they will come. And come they did. We got a few of our best leads because of the Wii. See pictures here and here.  Look at Andrea, her Vette Sugar-Free Vanilla Latte with Skim Milk and new “boyfriend.” Later that day I found out that Steve from the Jerry Springer Show got his own show. Are you serious? Check it out.

After the show was finished for the day, we went to BuddaKan. That was one of the best dinners I have ever had. We ate so much food it was sick. When we got back to the Taj Mahal I made my way to the Showboat Casino. It was the classic gambling me, Yankees hat and watch, and glasses. So while I was losing 400 or so dollars, a woman at the three card poker table was winning $4,000. I started winning a bit of money back and I got a weird feeling. I got up went to roulette and ten minutes later I won all 400 or so dollars back. I was back even and I left ecstatic.     

Wednesday I woke up to the show Cheaters. They don’t play that here anymore, but if you’re ever in the Philly area check it out. I called my mom to wish here happy birthday three or four times during the day. While in the room I realized I should start carrying alcohol pads to hotels because the phone receiver smelled horrible–ew. When we got to our booth I overheard the guy next to us on the phone with his bookie. Funny. I saw some woman and for some reason her feet reminded me of the ancient Asian foot binding custom so I told Andrea about it. Sick huh?

When I woke up Thursday I was exhausted. I spent the day trying to catch up on some work. I was so tired I didn’t know if I’d make it to bowling. I went and went crazy. I bowled a 196, 212 and a clean 206 (no open frames).  When I got home I realized one of our oldest fish, Chino, died. L Very sad.

That brings us to the mecca of all that is great, Friday. And if that’s not enough to get you through the day and none of my other advice seems to cut it, try this. That maybe your last chance.

Now you have been just been Omarized.

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).   

Yes! I’m here—late, but here. You can blame the lateness on a fun-filled birthday night with Rachel last night.

 I spent Friday night watching Dexter and the Footballers’ Wives with Rachel. The FW is crazy because it’s a BBC show and they don’t really care much about cursing or nudity so there is plenty of that. It’s pretty good; I’m thinking you should check it out. 

I spent my Saturday working—boo! Now it wasn’t the work that was a problem, it was the time I had to get up. I woke up at 7 a.m. to call our photographer and that was after the long Thursday and Friday after AC. We both wanted to be back in our beds, but we made it to Saddle River to do some scouting for an upcoming photo shoot. If you’ve never been to SR, it’s at the edge of NJ (exit 171) and super wealthy. I knew this because they had more lime green Lamborghinis than Star Bucks—ha.  

On Sunday, it was all about Team JosephRoberson. Rachel, her mother and I walked in the SGK walk. Thanks to everyone who donated. Mitzi were you there? Afterwards my uncle Thomas J. came over and installed some of our new artwork on our walls and most importantly my degree! We were supposed to go shooting at the range, but we didn’t have the time. I did introduce him to Wii and he loved it. 

So my mom and her sister, Anita J., work at UPS and USPS respectively and they are always going at it about who is better, but these Coke and Pepsi drivers went a bite overboard on Monday, don’t you think? I have to respect anyone who is cool enough to do this at a stop light. I guess if I could I would too. I talked to my buddy Steven E. which was cool. We go way back, from when we worked at Tyco Plastics & Adhesives. It must suck to live in the Boston area and be a Yankees fan. Keep your head up, sir! 

Tuesday was another way back day. I spoke to Jane W. formerly of Tyco who I hope will be my next “BIG” client! Hey, Jane! I also finally got the link to Marty D.’s children’s book. Interesting. We installed my new carpet in my office and shattered the radio Doug P. left for me. That’s Bill C. holding the evidence. The thing fell off the desk—haha. I spent that night bowling with my Lebowski Family—Laura and Sus and Brian W. I did ok, 176, 214, and 186. 

I don’t know who did it, wait it was me, but Jerry got his hands on a megaphone and the result was his jokes amplified 9 or 10 times. I saw Sue at Novo Nordisk for a bit. That was fun and I noticed, again, that she really has an incredibly warm smile—nice. A bunch of folks stayed around late working so we had a bit of a happy hour with drinks, food and more funny Jerry stories. Kurt came back to work and we stayed until 10:45 p.m. laughing and working.  

I found out that I won a bet from Kurt Thursday. I think he gave me an easy bet to make up for the travesty he called a bet last time. It was also Rachel’s birthday. Just in case you were wondering, you don’t want to live here. I ended up at Tyco before I went home. I saw Ken P. for the first time since his baby was born, nice! I saw Alex S. and Tintu too! Later I took Rachel to dinner at Salt Creek Grille and then to the movies to see Resident Evil. We finished the night with some DVR’ed Judge Mathis. 

So I think I gained a bit of perspective this week. My old boss Ira G., postponed our lunch today because he wanted to take day a quick day off. I like that attitude. Instead of just getting through the day at work, how ‘bout you take the day off? Next week, just take Friday off. I don’t mind—you deserve it. Until then, hide from the work. Does it really need to be done today? 

A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).
