Erin Moves: The Melting Pot

My dear friend Val was in the city yesterday, so we met for dinner downtown at The Melting Pot. It was so good to see a familiar face and to have someone to laugh with. We ate a lot and had the cheapest bottle of wine. Then I of course got lost on the way home because my Google Maps directions had me take a road that appeared to end. After all the panicking and map-gripping, I got home way past my bedtime and was too tired to iron anything for today, so I wore the same shirt I wore last night because I figured, "I only had it on for a few hours. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?" Well, a lot. It wasn't until I got to work that I realized I reeked of coq au vin fondue (which I'm pretty sure was confused for BO at some point) and had chocolate stains down the front.

I signed up for the Office Olympics yesterday because it's the funniest thing I've ever heard of. A woman from somewhere in the company sent an email to every department asking for ten more participants. I thought, "Who wouldn't want to do this?" until I found out I have to be there at 6am—after I volunteered, of course. I emailed her today and asked her what sort of events I should start training for, and she said, "For sure we will be doing these three events again: the Ream Race, Chicken Frisbee, and the Chair-iot race. Three new events will be added (of these, one is still up for discussion and to be decided on): Build a Binder Castle, Collation Quest, Create a Logo with Post-Its, and/or The Recycling Contest." HAHAHAHAHAHA. She told me to stop by her cubicle if I want to look at pictures from last year or borrow the DVD, so I'll do that tomorrow when I don't smell so bad. Also, apparently the olympics were on TV last year. I don't know what channel, but I'm assuming ESPN.
