Thursday #104 – this Thursday marked my 26 year and 7 month
birthday yet somehow that seemed to go by uncelebrated and unappreciated. I headed off to work as per usual and left a
little early to check Dick Smith for cheap Wiis on my way home. I’m still not entirely sure why DTM insists
on upgrading my perfectly functional Wii to a Wii U but I’m led to believe it
would be highly offensive to use mine on an HD TV since it isn’t HD…or some
such rubbish.
Dick Smith did not have the super discounted Wii U available
so I headed home to get changed before heading to meet DTM in Chatswood. I got sprung for my early leaving as just
before 5 my manager texted me to say The Golfing Receptionist was wondering
where my homework was which had been due on Wednesday. Somehow I have found myself in a career which
not only requires a whole lot of expensive continuing education every year but
also involves company training days with homework!! I felt like I was back at school and promised
to hand it in on Friday.
When I got to Chatswood and met DTM, it was straight to Dick
Smith to check if they had the Wii U (which had been advertised as half price
and was apparently in high demand). No luck
there and DTM was tempted to head to the city to check before I reminded him I had
actually come in to meet him for dinner and we had a show to get to at 7.30 in
Chatswood anyway. Reluctantly he agreed
to get some schnitzel and stay in Chatswood.
We met up with The Drunk Bro and The Fiancee (now wife) for
some pre-comedy dinner and drinks. DTM
bought me a 2nd huge Rekorderlig about 10 minutes before we had to
go, he also decided it would be appropriate after 2 schooners to buy himself a
jug of beer to finish in that 10 minute period. We sculled our drinks and headed to The
Concourse, desperately in need of a bathroom stop. When we got there (a little after 7.35) we were
relieved to see Wil Anderson had a support act and we had not in fact been
missing Wil himself.
Lots of laughs were had and out of the blue Wil assisted
with a marriage proposal between a couple of audience members. We ran to make the bus home and then I sat in
bed typing up my silly homework. Aside
from getting in trouble for my late homework it was a pretty entertaining
Thursday.
