long week ends well

Saturday October 23rd 2004 10:18 AM PST

So i busted my as all week long. I was scheduled to work on 2 projects. One project was only scheduled for 2 hours on monday, and then ALL of the rest of the week was scheduled for the other project. Well, lets just put it this way. The first 2 hour project took more like 12 hours, and the other project still needed the rest of the week. So i found myself working on everything during the night to catch up. THEN, if these 2 projects weren't enough to kill me, i also had to do all the little side jobs. So i ended up doing final database and php setup on an ecard, a couple little banner animations, a last minute screensaver, and i'm sure i'm missing something else. BUT at the end of the day friday, all the clients are happy. So when it really comes down to it, as long as they're smiling, i'm in the clear.

But then on top of it all, Will called me up and asked me if i wanted to go to a Lakers Preseason game on Friday. This was the perfect end to the week. So after the final meeting on Friday where one client was looking at one piece of work, i bailed and got on the road. I got home about 7 and the tip off is at 7:30. There was no fuckin way i was getting back on LA roads after just being on them for an hour. Besides. The parking fee alone at Staples is $20. So Jen and I hopped on the train and were there in about 35 minutes. We got some food and headed for the seats. Will and Dave (cookie) were in the other 2 seats. (BTW thanks again Liz for letting all of us have them) So the game was a perftect ending to the week. It was very relaxed and a very good time. Lakers played well and there was even the ejection of Chris Mihm, which i thought was a bullshit ejection. It did however add a little drama to the game.

After the game we caught a ride with Will and Dave back out to burbank. We dropped off Dave at his car where he had left it at work, and Jen Will and I headed for BJ's in burbank. We had a bite to eat and then headed home.
