7 Tuesday Takes - floor wax huffing edition

1. It's break week at work (the week between quarters) so they decided to wash and wax the floors.  Great - except that floor is right under my nose and my office doesn't have a window.  Basically, my job forced me to huff floor wax today.  This made for a fun day.

2. After the wax dried, I decided I'd take an hour out for "lunch" - just to go somewhere and breath regular air.  On my way to my car, I stepped on a stick that scratched the hell out of the top of my foot, drawing blood.  Owie (still hurts).

3. Ended up at DSW and tried on some spectacular shoes, but didn't buy anything due to brokeness.  I hate window shopping and am never able to accomplish this, but today I was high on floor wax.

4. We had a massive thunder and lightening storm this afternoon.  So serious that the power went out at work three times.  THREE TIMES.  It would blink off just long enough for us to lose whatever we were working on and then it would come back on.  Then the lights would flicker every 20 seconds, just to have fun with us.  I think the lights were huffing floor wax, too.  However, we soldiered on.  Who cares if I can't accomplish any work or see straight?

5. For dinner, I planned to make falafel and rice and lentil patties.  The patties failed, big time - couldn't even get them into patty shapes.  It was the first time I attempted this recipe, but I rarely have one fail like this.  The falafel turned out great, but I kept burning my fingers on the pan and dipping them in the oil.  Again, I blame the floor wax.

6. My landlord called just in time to tell us that he had the roof patched so it should no longer leak in our closet.  Good thing considering I just moved a bunch of stuff in there.

7. Tomorrow I work at another window-less location, but it has carpeting.  Maybe they'll be using some of that carpet sprinkle stuff.
