• The holiday party Friday night was better than I expected.  I
  would say I had a good time and we had fun although that was my first
  legit secret santa swap and the way it worked was everyone got a number
  and as each person went, you had the option of stealing someone else’s
  present or picking something new from under the tree.  I was
  second to last so I pretty much had the pick of the litter and I ended
  up stealing someone’s lottery tickets they got ($15 worth of $1 scratch
  offs) although in the end, I only won $6. 

  On Saturday I
  went to my “free lunch” at the sushi place.  Why did I put it in
  quotes? Because the idiot who was supposed to pay for the lunch never
  showed up!  This morning I get an email from him saying that at
  10:30am on Saturday to call him by noon on Saturday to my work
  email.  Umm, dude, we set up the time and date and I gave you a
  list of people coming….I think it’s safe to assume we’re going to be
  there. 

  Saturday night I went to Foxwoods, lost $60 at
  the roulette table (26 just never hit for me) and then saw George
  Carlin that night.  It was a good show but I didn’t think he was
  that great (maybe because his old material is just gold). 

  So I got a bill from my hometown for taxes on my car for the year for $250   Excuse me?  Since when do I pay for my car just being there?  What a scam!
