So today should be a good day.
Why's that? Well, first it's Employee Appreciation Day here at work, which is always fun. It's normally on a Friday in November, so we all wondered why the change to a random day in October. When we found out why, we wanted to know who decided NOT to have it in like, say, August.
Because the food is being prepared, and grilled, outside. In October. In Chicago. O_o Whose brilliant idea was that?? Especially since this is supposed to be the coldest day all week! LOL!
So yeah. A picnic in Chicago in October. [shakes head] Too funny.
We always have a theme to our Employee Appreciation Days. We've had a circus, the old west, sports, etc. And today's theme is - PIRATES! I had briefly considered wearing my nearly authentic Will Turner costume from when myself and
charityflint dressed up as Jack and Will several years ago, but sitting around in that all day wasn't appealing. Luckily I found in my closet a shirt my friend
twistnboo gave me when we went to see the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It says, "It's Ok, I'm a Pirate" with a funny cartoon pirate face on it. :-) So I'm all set!
There's a rumor going around that the company is going to be doing something really special for us today, so keep your fingers crossed for me that it means money! :-)

And the other reason why today should be a good day is because it's my last day at work before I head off to NEW JERSEY and
Eastern Media Con! Woot! My buddy
charityflint and I will be hitting the east coast and partying with fellow fans for five great days. Can't wait!!

Have you all seen the new promo spot for Supernatural? My friend
sen1995 found it over at CW's site:
http://www.cwtv.com/cw-video/supernatural/short/?play=428-4390I love that two of the three press quotes they use in it are from my hometown Chicago papers and the other is from...Texas! How appropriate for Jensen and Jared. :-)

And last, but not least, many thanks to
mickeym for the totally cool Frank the Goat pumpkin virtual gift. :-) This has been the week from hell for me, so the smile was greatly appreciated. Thanks, honey! ♥
