I'm going to start this post with a story from lunch. I mean, is lunch not one of the most important aspects of a work day? Anyway, I was sent on an errand for some Staples printer paper and a FedEx dropoff. I have dropped packages off at FedEx before, but I have never ventured another couple blocks down California Street to the Staples location. It was nearing lunchtime, so I figured I would grab some food if I got the chance or I would just go for lunch when I got back to the office.
After dropping off the FedEx package, I headed towards Staples. As I approached one of the intersections, I looked to the left and saw nothing approaching (probably because it is a one-way street from right to left...), and then I looked to the right. That is when it happened. What to my wondering eyes did appear? But, two golden arches very, very near!
That's right, folks. No more two-hour weekend excursions for this guy. I found a McDonald's in the heart of the city!! Yea, buddy. I devoured a gourmet meal from the land of the golden arches, and I loved every moment of it.
As for what I did that was actually important today, I compiled a Google Doc of "closing dates" for upcoming magazine deadlines that some clients of the firm will be needing. It requires a lot of searching on a lot of websites, but the work is generally pretty easy (unless a magazine forces you to email them to get their media kit). I also sat in on a conference call with the office in Chicago.
After work, I headed to the YMCA. I got a great workout in, but I also ended up being there for four and a half hours...
You see, in the city, there are a lot of people who like to play basketball. Well, I have just recently started playing in the pick-up games, but I got on a "stacked" team today. We didn't lose for an hour and a half, but the five of us were about to faint. So, we lost (almost on purpose) and went home!
That is all for today. I hope you are enjoying my blog. Shoutout to Matt in Chicago Olson office if you are still reading. :) Your viewership of this blog is truly inspiring.
Thanks for reading, everyone!!
