So The World’s Going to End on Saturday

As many of you have been anticipating for the past few months (years, decades, centuries), the world is set to expire on May 21. Which is perfect timing, because my company just announced that’s this is going to be the day summer hours (half-day Fridays) and the summer dress code will kick in. Can I catch a freakin’ break?

So obviously I’m not buying into this bull-oney, but I was thinking about it on my way to work this morning, and I was wondering, if the world were going to end at some point in time, why not now?

Group shot: Ray, Mary Ann and Me

So as you all know I spent last year’s marathon going to work and taking a 2.5 hour lunch break and then leaving early to drink with people who actually ran the race and would be collapsing shortly. I also had one of the greatest encounters of my life with a drunk college student in a hot pink feather boa, who was practically sobbing whilst eating a slice of pizza outside of Pino’s.
