Siesta

So, last night the wife and i went out to the brew pub to get together with some of my friends. They're her friends, too, but they started off as my friends and she got them as part of the package. The reason for the get-together was the passing of Gary Gygax as we are huge D&D nerds.

We had one pitcher of ruby and talked about our first times.

We had a second pitcher of stout and talked about players that have moved out of our life and how tragic it all is.

We had a third pitcher of porter and made promises to game again, and soon.

We had a fourth pitcher, this time an India pale ale which sort of agitated the mood. We all agreed that these were excellent beers but drunk in entirely the wrong order.

I had a slight hangover today. I had four beers, and two gives me a good buzz. I'm what's known as a "lightweight". This is the day after the Daylight Savings Time switch so I'm beery and sleep-deprived. But, as seems to often be the case, Coincidence covers for me.

It just so happens that today is the day that our department is taking our building's EFO team out to lunch as a thank you for the hard work they've been putting in. And a lunch is cheaper than a raise. I had forgotten completely, in fact, I thought it was going to be the following week.
I was just along for the ride and free lunch, and my half-hour lunch turns into an hour-and-a-half lunch, and I still get to go home at my normal time at full pay.

So I got to talk D&D and movies with Nick, and it was a really good day. I got some really satisfying Mexican food and got to shake off some of the stupor. Then, back at the office, I'm getting some coffee, and Jacob, the one who foot the bill, a really nice guy, comes up and starts talking to me about the coffee machine.

The machine went through the first grinding shooshing noise sequence. We talked about whether the machine actually had cups in it or if you had to have a mug (I have never seen the cups and he's never used his mug, FTKSAH.).

The machine paused then hissed a bit, like a startled snake, and then a thunk. We talked about how much better this coffee is than the free coffee (I drink the free coffee, always. Except today I was needing a little more pep (read: sugar) what with the good food and "late night". I said the good food part out loud, but said the "late night" in my head.

He can't stand the free coffee.).

It spat out the rest of my drink and I walked one way and he walked the other.

I should make a D&D character based off Jacob. He'd be a dwarf paladin, I think.
