Top 10 Unusual Excuses for Being Late to Work

This was passed around today at work today, and I just wanted to share this with all of you. I thought it was kind've funny, so check it out. I never tried any of these, have you???

1) "I dreamed that I was fired, so I didn't bother to get out of bed."
2) "I had to take my cat to the dentist."
3) "I went all the way to the office and realized I was still in my pajamas and had to go home to change."
4) "I saw that you weren't in the office, so I went out looking for you."
5) "I couldn't find the right tie, so I had to wait for the stores to open so I could buy one."
6) "My son tried to flush our ferret down the toilet and I needed to tend to the ferret."
7) "I ran over a goat."
8) "I stopped for a bagel sandwich, the store was robbed and the police required everyone to stay for questioning."
9) "A bee flew in my car and attacked me and I had to pull over."
10) "I wet my pants and went home to change."

Another Saturday night out - Club Umbria

I seem to be turning into a night owl/party animal these past two weeks, but I need to slow down. Coming home at 4 am is wiping me out, LOL.
A different co-worker invited me and others out for another night of dancing this past weekend. I was not sure if I wanted to go out yet another weekend, but I had a feeling Dave wouldn't mind having another Saturday night alone to himself. We do live together and see each other all time, expect for when we leave for work.

The place I ended up going to was Umbria.

Along with being a night-club, they also have a restaurant. Their website lists the place as Umbria Ristorante. They are located in the financial district of Boston, MA. There are 5 floors in this place. The first floor is the restaurant. Not sure what the 2nd is for. The 3rd floor plays old-school hip-hop and 80's music. The 4th floor plays hip-hop and top 40. The 5th floor is basically a lounge area.





A few of the good things about going to this place was...no cover before midnight, knowing someone on their "A" list (which is the same as on the VIP list), and going in with my group of people from work, etc...which turns out to getting free drinks for 1 hour, and not having to pay to park (course I didn't drive so that worked out)! Yay!

I did have a fun time. I didn't get wasted, b/c that's not the type of person I am. I did however dance with a stranger who had dreads (I think he was jamaican, and sort of good-looking). I said no at first when he asked, b/c my feet felt like they were on fire from my shoes, but I changed my mind. Some random guy came up to me once the place was closing, and asked me if I was from the town of Milford, and asked if my name was Heather. I was kind've freaked out at first, but it turned out to be someone I graduated high school with, even though I did not even recognize him one bit. He was trying to flirt with me and wanted me to come back and hang out with him that night in Milford, but I was like I am going home. I didn't tell the guy I was taken, but it didn't matter b/c I don't plan on calling or meeting with him ever. He gave me his phone # to call him, but that's never going to happen as well. Dave knows all this BTW. He was cool with it. :o)

The only few negative things about this place was...they serve cheap alcohol for the 1 hour you get free drinks (Puerto-Rican Rum sucks), and when it's time to pay for your mixed drinks...they charge you $9.00 each!!!! I nearly felll to the floor when I heard that. All I was ordering was coconut-rum and coke. I guess that's expected when you go to Boston. Oh well.

Saturday night at "The Foggy Goggle"

So Saturday night I was invited out to celebrate a co-workers's birthday, and I was unsure about going out at first because I am not a night owl like I used to be. I'm getting old ya know?!?! LOL. Just kidding.

Well anyways the plan was to meet up with this guy (who trained me for the position at work where I just started not recently), his girlfriend and some others at his hotel to have some drinks at first, and then head to the bar/s. I drove in with my friend/co-worker Lynn and her friend Kim. We ended up eating dinner at the hotel restaurant downstairs first and then went up to the room and had some drinks.

The next place we head is this place called The Foggy Goggle.



The name sounded very odd but was worth trying out. I did some research online to find more about it before I went there. Turns out I was reading some not-so-positive comments about it - saying that it composed of scantily-clad women and sleazbags that were always trying to hit on women, and some of the people that went there looked like they were under 21. I was not sure of the idea now, but most people wanted to go there regardless. Turns out I had a really good time and the reviews that I read didn't seem to match the atmosphere which worked out well. It was a very small place though, and mixed drinks were around $6.00-$7.50, but they played pretty decent music and I danced with the birthday boy a little (sorry Dave!).

I was invited to yet another bar/club in a few weeks again to "The Liquor Store". Another interesting name. We shall see.
