The apprentice

I had a nightmare yesterday. All the typical fears I used to have when I was still in school: Nasty teammates in a group project, crappy team project results, not being prepared for that one critical presentation. Except this one nightmare was special in one way: Donald Trump was one of the judges in the presentation. Yup, .... the Donald, with the hair, the wince, the attitude and the "you're fired" snapping hand movement.

Can't help but wonder if this is a sign that going back to school is not really a good idea for me. ^_^

This is why I love my friends from work so much. They are my dependable source for interesting vocabulary that are way more interesting than my dearly beloved Webster dictionary.

If it quacks like a duck,.... it is a duck.

I really enjoyed today's weather. For all I know, this statement alone could get me killed. ^_^
People were all bundled up from head to toe.... and as my colleague so eloquently put it: It's almost May for God's sake!!!

But really, there's no sarcasm intended in my first statement. I did really enjoy the weather. As I told my friends at work, I am just trying to "absorb" as much cold weather as possible before I head home to the hot and annoyingly sticky climate. Hey,..... I'll take today's flurries and bitter, cold wind anytime and anyday then having to deal with the heat, the stickiness, the sun and all that.

Anyway, here are some pictures from today's outing by the River Walk in Naperville in the wonderfully cold weather:

Dunno what's going on but it's been one heck of a weekend for my roommate and me. By Monday morning, I was so drained from the blow that I couldn't even drag myself to work although I have to admit this wasn't the first time it has happened.

Poop happens. I know.
