What is it about Friday afternoons?
The board always seems to slow down during that time. Where do you guys disappear to?

Friday afternoon and evenings are usually taken up with quilting, darning socks, deep reflection about the esoteric values of our femine side and navel contemplation. We don't really like to admit this, but many of us drag out our old binkies and just take a nap

Contemplating fingernail polish decisions.
Will probably stick with Double-Tap Red.

FS;
No wonder I refuse to go shopping at the mall with my wife.
A.177;
I've had three dogs in the house at one time. I just close the door to my office and turn up the music.

"Friday" is an old Latin term derived from ancient Roman times meaning both "Quit working " and "Drink Beer". This is where our culture comes from, quitting work and drinking beer.

It is 1932 here in Atlanta and I still have 2-3 hrs left at work.....and I have some "stuff" to do for the Army this weekend and have to be up at the crack of dawn for that. No rest for the weary.
Oh Well, suck it up and move on.

Hey Air, that selection has been years in the making! However the latest acquisitions have all been drifting towards a similar hue, saturation, and brightness of Red. If I could just make myself standardize, it would make in-field repairs all the easier.

Guy those are all from the drugstore or the supermarket aisle. The fingernail polish section presents this magnetic force upon me.
Haven't been to a mall in a long while (last one being the big one in Raleigh with the PF Changs) because my bestist buddy Julia's husband Bryce buys all my clothes for me. He has a credit card, and when they come back here once a month or so to visit family and me he drops off new purchases on my bed. He pretends it's more Julia than him, but it's really him.
You gotta try it! I bet it would be worth major points for you. It's a pretty amazing guy-skill to have!

I'm usually trying to keep the officers from freaking out about some nonsense that doesn't even matter on Monday morning.

And some of us go to Blockbuster to rent Nintendo games and fantasize that it is the GB Club.

Speaking of the GB Club, Sir Reaper, thanks for taking Chris Reeve and I in there with the director of the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Museum. That was a high honor. The pictures of the men on the wall will ensure best behavoir and respect while there. If that doesn't work, the guys at the bar will.
