Calendar

Left my office building at 9:04pm after a little meeting that could've easily be replaced by an e-mail with a handful of bullet points. But people love meetings and they think that they are good for the mental health of the "team" and the organization and as hole. I agree with that concept, but when people start going in circles and asking the same tired questions over and over again, I really ask myself about their mental health.

After that meeting I went back to my corner office, locked the drawer that contains all ther porn, and exit the building through the only revolving door that was working (the other one was beeping and stuck half way open).

Right before making one of the last right turns in order to get to my condo, I remembered that I thought about getting a little almanac for my cubicle with some nice art in it and decided to go and get it. The bookstore didn't have a great variety and I realized that Summer is definitely a bad time to go shopping for calendars. While browsing the little calendars, I saw on top of the stand a large sign advertising 20% off -not bad for a $8,95 calendar, eh?. I decided that I was gona get me one with the images of some paradisiac beaches. . . but the fine print below the 20% stated that that promotion was good through 07/07/06.

So fuck it, I turned around and smiled to an underage girl looking at some DaVinci code paraphernalia on my way to the door; when I cranked my car I looked through the windshield at a little Toyota that reminded me of the Smart; and while pulling out of the parking lot I cursed under my breath at two women who were walking in the middle of the road even though they didn't have license plates on their wide asses.

I may go back and get that calendar in few days; perhaps next week while holding hands with my better half that is gona be in town; or maybe I won't get it at all. The reason why I didn't get it today is that I considered that sign misleading: the promotion already expired, so why advertised something that is no longer good?
