Nothing like a day off of work to make the mind and body feel a little better!!
Obviously, I toook the day off as I worked 5 hours of overtime last Mon. and Tues. (2.5 over both days) and we are not alotted any overtime pay right now. I had to chip in 3 vacation hours from my vacation bank to make an 8 hour day off, but it was very much worth it.
The day started off lazily as I did sleep in and upon waking, watched too much TV. My wife and I decided to go to the college where I will be taking classes to maybe buy my course text books as classes DO start in about 2 weeks, and I don't want to be scrambling to get the text on the day the classes start. This was my wife's idea as one who has waded the murky waters of college life her self and has pointed me in the right direction as I climb this hill myself.
So, we were able to buy one of the text books today, we decided it was best to wait on the other as the teacher may or may not be using the text available right now.
After we finished at the college, we went and got some large sandwiches from Grove Market for lunch and dinner tomorrow. These sandwiches are HUGE and very very delicious!! I have not had one for months, and I am glad we went there today to partake. This store has been in Salt Lake forever, and the owner is always amiable and very kind to the customers. This kind of service is exactly WHY this place has been in business for so many years...as well as the high quality of meats and cheeses and dressings on the sandwiches.
I also spent much of the day anxiously logging in to the SLCC website to check on my student aid. This has been a nerve racking experience as I await the actual monies I need to PAY for my education. I guess I am not as patient as I am supposed to be. Or maybe I just need something to worry about?
Whilst I have been online, I also bought my ticket for the 1030 am Monday May 11 IMAX showing of Star Trek. Yeah, I am taking Monday off, too. Not really JUST to see the movie, but to spend some valuable time with ME before I immerse myself in classes and the busy times upcoming on the job.
I'll be taking the light rail and bus to the IMAX theater in Sandy Utah about 15 miles away. Once there I will seek some breakfast at the complex there, which has many restaurants. Then I will be seated in row H seat 1 my favorite IMAX theater seat, and I will enjoy the HUGE screen and crisp clear IMAX sound of mega wattage fully enveloping speakers.
I will not see a movie any other way than on IMAX.
Well, that's all for tonight, I will be at work tomorrow but I will make it an easy day, as Fridays usually are. Tonight is NBC comedy night do not miss the Office, Earl, Parks and Rec and 30 rock!!! GRRRREAT shows!!
