Mike came over around lunch and we had Jimmy John's to eat. I stuck with my usual choice and ordered the number 12. After lunch, I pounded out my final boss of a project before leaving for GVSU to turn it in. The whole way I couldn't beat traffic. Cars going slow, trucks, trains, slow people in line at the gas station holding me up so I couldn't buy my energy drink.... augh! I sprinted into the classroom only to find the teacher smiling at me. "Derek, this is due anytime between 4-6." Great... all that speeding, all that chaos, all the wasted money I just put in the meter... for nothing!!! It's like God was saying "Just trust me, stop being so angry... you'll be fine".
Stopped at Plato's Closet on the way back and talked with my old work friends, and saw Gavin as well again. The constant run ins with him make me smile. After Plato's I went into work, where I was just able to make the work meeting, and then run my shift from 6-10PM. And yes, even after leaving at 10, the weather is still almost 50, very nice, my fall jacket does me just fine.
After work Mike and I met up with Chad and Sam and a slew of other people downtown at Friday's for Lindsey's going away party. We had some long islands at Friday's, then moved over to Hopcat, where me and Mike split crack fries. We didn't say too long, mainly because I didn't know hardly anyone there, and I was tired., but not tired for a blog picture!
