My past few days

I love Sundays. Pretty much every Sunday I make it a point to not change out of my pajamas and be a bum all day. Today was no different except we had a few friends over and went for a hike in the woods behind our house. I'm going to do a quick (or maybe not so quick, we'll see) recap of my Friday-Sunday in this thread, and I'd love it if you guys would do the same 
Friday I had 2 job interviews, one at 9am and one at 2pm, coincidentally in the same office park. They both went really well, but I hope I get the first job, the company seems a lot more stable, and the pay would be much better. After my first interview we went out to breakfast at an awesome diner. Yummy The 2nd interview I had may or may not have been with the Russian Mob. Every guy in the office was screaming Russian at eachother, and most of the questions they asked me had more to do with how I would handle awkward work situations and not my ability in general. Every question I asked them in regards to the company was met with some shady response, that didn't really divulge any information. And I even asked how it came to be that an entire company of people spoke Russian, and he told me that was a question for another time 
After my second interview I came home, relaxed for a bit, changed out of my uncomfortable business suit and took my puppy to the tennis courts to play some fetch and let her run.
Friday night we hung out at home, played some old school Nintendo (Track and Field on the Power Pad!!) took a few pills and went to bed pretty early.
Saturday I slept until 4pm (I love sleeping in ) Then got the mail, which was great since we got a package from a shroomerite (yay!) and I got my paycheck from my job that I quit last week. I was shocked to see that it was for the full amount - I thought my asshole ex-boss was going to try to dick me over. Apparently he knew better than to try to screw a jew out of money After that we took our puppy to our tennis courts to give her some exercise before getting ready and heading out to a friend's house to pregame before a concert. We went to go see Badfish at a club in Boston. They always put on a GREAT show, and last night was no different - I saw as old friend of mine who I was best friends with in high school, and it was awesome to see her. We thought Badfish was going on a lot later than they actully did....the concert was scheduled to end at 10 for some reason, which is ridiculously early...so they played from 8:15 to 10 - we thought they were going on at 9 or later, so missed 1/2 or their set Shitty. Especially since the tickets were $20 After the concert, went back to a friends house, hung out a bit more, and then headed home to eat some mac n cheese and pass out.
Today we slept til 12, and when I woke up I headed over to my mom's house for her to give me my birth control shot (she's a nurse). Got to see my little brother who I don't see very often since he's busy with college. Came home, made some tacos, and my friend and her boyfriend showed up just as we were serving ourselves, so they had some too. Glad we made extra She brougt her dog with her, he's a little red poodle named Boston, who has a wicked Napolean complex. He growls and is aggresive, but he doesn't bite or anything, he just lieks to exert his dominance over my puppy, who's a girl. So we hung out for a bit, then took the dogs for a walk to the tennis courts, let them run around, and then went for a hike through the woods back to the house. When we got back, my friends left, and we were relaxing when my boyfriend noticed something black on our puppy's fur. Ticks!! I HATE TICKS! Our house is surrounded by 50 acres of woods, so they're sort of inevitable, but they still skeeve me out. She had 4 on her that we got off, hopefully that was all of them
Now we're making some dinner, the puppy's sleeping at my feet, and I'm looking forward to a quiet night, maybe watch a movie or something.
So how was everyone elses weekend? I'm looking forward to this week, too. I should hear back from my first interview, and until then I have no job, no obligations, and can chill with my puppy all day
So yeah, post your adventures from this weekend. Hope everyone else has as much fun as I did

I had a pretty similar weekend to yours actually. I had a job interview on Thursday that went pretty well. I start tomorrow 
I went hiking with my girlfriend yesterday. This particular trail follows a creek up a canyon and ends at a waterfall. You scale the rock wall with the help of a knotted rope. I'm a decent climber, I've always loved scrambling up rocks and such... so I got on top of the waterfall.
My girlfriend is pretty scared of steep slopes and falling and what not, so I was pretty shocked when she joined me up there. She had a little difficulty going back down (you have to walk backwards down the rock holding yourself up with the rope) but she made it and I was really proud of her.
In a week I imagine we'll both be getting some poison oak rashes (there was SO much of that stuff around) but we had a great day.

I somewhat had an interview Friday as well. I'm not sure if you saw my recent post, but I left my job after 7 years. I went to talk to a Market Coach about a position...the meeting was to give me an offer.
Well, I took it. The title is lower, but the pay is higher and there are lots of opportunities for advancement. I start Tuesday and I'm so excited!
Good luck with that first company(the one you want) I'm sure it will work out.

I had to work Friday, no big deal. Planned on having my full weekend, not being scheduled. Lounged around all Saturday, did some grocery shopping, did the dishes. Sounds like a Sunday, but it had been my first day off in a while, wanted to chillax. Then I get a call from someone at work, she was sick and I was her last resort, so I took her shift for Sunday (today.) At the time it was not a HUGE deal. But what a long and stressful day it turned out to be. Machine broke down, under-staffed, and busier than it has been. By the way I work at in a Photo lab. So now I am tired now I have minimal time for relaxation, though I did find the time to blaze Now I am dreading going back in tomorrow. I have not had 2 days off in a row for 3 weeks now. I think it is starting to take its toll. Now I don't get a day off until Wednesday, and damnit I will sleep in, so help me god!! lol.

That sucks Bowers. I know how it is to get burnt out at work, maybe you could take a personal day or something?

It's random nights like that, where completely ridiculous things happen that you'll remember in 10 years and laugh about. You only live once, might as well have afew adventures, eh?

I hate Sundays; they remind me school's tomorrow
Anyway, my weekend was cool
Shroomed for the first time, then got high with friends. We ate nothing but junkfood for two days, and I really need to run...

i had a weird day... everything had an evil vibe to it! it started with some fucked up dreams... the worst of which was me visiting a room filled with dead people, they were all in glass cascets and VERY mutalated (like they all died in horrible excedents or fires or whatever) and for some strange reason all i did today was watch some TV (one movie called "white noize" about contecting the dead... sucked ass. and another about two divers left out at sea and end up eaten by sharks)
then i kept reading my book (life the universe and everything) and i get to a point where arthur dent meets this creature he's killed countless times... the creature waited for his last reincarnetion to get revange on arthur and build this big "cathedral of hate" where there is a statue for every incarnation of his that arthur killed and in the middle a big ugly statue of arthur killing the creature in a bunch of horrific ways.... (it's pretty funny but i kinda felt like that's too much for today... i wasn't expecting to read anything like that in this book)
didn't feel much like going out today

So everyone knows I the owls.
Last night I fell asleep and my boyfriend woke me up to tell me there was an owl hooting outside our house. So I woke up and listened, and there it was, every few seconds "Whooo...whooo...whooo" It sounded like it was really close. And then ANOTHER owl started answering it, they were talking to eachother.
And all i could picture was them sitting next to eachother like this

Nice post. I read it twice! 
I hope you get that job you want and not the Russian one (sounds shady). You had a really adventureous and restful weekend. I love to sleep for long periods and laze around in my bathrobe too, which I did somewhat this weekend, but the highlight was my first Candied HippyFlip yesterday afternoon and well into the night. The mixture of Ecstacy, LSD and Shrooms was the most amazing experience I've ever had on psychedelics. Occasional N2O blasts made it unbelievable. I listened to all kinds of great music for hours on end until I fell asleep with the headphones cranking (a first for me).
When I woke a couple of hours later, I ended the music and IM'd for a few minutes and then took a Valium and slept the day away.
I feel so refreshed now. I'm gonna lay off all drugs (except maybe some weed and some beer in light amounts) for a while now. I've been over-doing it for the past 3 weeks and I don't want to mess myself up. I couldn't bare to lose the magic.
In a month I'll be getting my puppy (possibly Lucy's brother, can you imagine?) and I'm so stoked about that. Ticks freak me out too, though. Nasty little cretures! *shudder*
Anyway, I just had to reply to your story and I'm very glad to see that you are in such great spirits.
That RandalFlagg PhotoShop flipped me out!
