The Tragedy of the Week

I'm writing this post to save all of you from making the tragic mistake I made last week. Let me explain. I was in the mood for a delicious milk shake, a nice chocolatey cup of joy that I could savor after the long work day. Rarely do I treat myself to such joys. It was pretty late at night, so not much was open. I thought to myself "O, I bet Burger King has milkshakes!" (Little did I know this thought was mistake #1). I went through the drive thru and ordered a medium chocolate milkshake, then went to the window to receive a large cup instead. I was instantly excited that I had paid for the medium and got 'upgraded' to the large for free. I was so eager to vask in my delicious large chocolate treat, but upon first sip...NO! It tasted like straight syrup. Instead of the medium milkshake I ordered, I got a large milkSUCK. That's this week's lesson kids, don't go to Burger King for milkshakes. Your heart will be broken and you'll wish you had your $3 back.

MacGyver

Hi friends,

Today I had what we all dream and desire to have in our lives. Some of us strive for it every day, some of us yearn for it in our sleep. We know if it doesn't happen then life was not at 100%. Sure, we could get to 95%, but the last 5% is all about the MacGyver moment.

This morning I put on a purple shirt (it's purple friday, duh!) and was told, once I got to work, that I had a hideous stain on my right sleeve (by my shoulder). This was not just a normal little stain (my first thought was that I spilled the pumpkin latte I had this morning on myself...mmmm pumpkin) but no, this stain is HUGE and evil. It is more brown than Michael Jackson was as a kid (am I allowed to still make fun of him even though he died?). So what did I do? I had a MACGYVER MOMENT.

I retrieved a paperclip from my desk drawer, rolled up my sleeve, and placed the paper clip underneath so you can't see it. AMAZING. I am very impressed with myself, but I really owe it to MacGyver for the inspiration. Thanks buddy.
