Howard called me yesterday afternoon to tell me he was finished working and was going to eat Mexican food, drink margaritas and watch the World Cup Semi-Finals. It was 1:15 pm. I was jealous. Not about the Mexican part but the rest sounded awesome. So what do you do when you're jealous?
Me: Hey, so what do you think about me leaving early, say...right now, to go drink margaritas and watch soccer?
Boss: I say get the hell out of here!
Done. I promise to never complain about my job again.

About Me
- Dana
- I grew up in suburban PA and VA most of my life but recently took the plunge to move out to country KY with my boyfriend. Funny things happen out here. Things I doubt I could ever do justice to explain in writing but I thought I might give it a try!

Disclaimer: This blog is not intended to negatively portray the state of KY or offend those who live in this glorious state. It is only intended to share my real-life experiences with my friends and family. I have met some fabulous people while living in KY. Unfortunately (or fortunately), those people don't have humerous stories associated with them and therefore aren't worth writing about. If you don't like what you are reading, please go elsewhere.
