MF, From reading your sitch, I already got you were from near the home of deep dish pizza and the best hot dogs on the planet (Chi-dog with everything and chili cheese fries is my hangover cure. Taught to me from a South side native. I think he called it the "ultimate cleanout")
Yes, I am employed by the U. And yes, no one has any money.
I took Pearls advice and got my behind out of the house for my bd. I had a great time. I had buffalo wings (my fave). Then I saw a live band at a bar I like to go to. And finally I went to another bar near my house that always has eclectic movies on. Tonight they had a 70's Kung Fu movie I have never seen before (love KF and samurai movies). Very cool. Not a lot of people out on a Tuesday, but I had a memorable time. Beats a usual boring bd dinner out with the W and then straight home. No chicks bought me a drink though. Sorry Pearl. Maybe next time. The W said she was doing laundry and besides I don't need the awkwardness. She should be kissing my butt for the perfectionist job I did on packing her stuff. BTW, still waiting on Rob to be my "Cyrano de Bergerac" on how to word the, " Hey. I packed your chit. Come get it."
Had a nice text exchange with my favorite SIL. She is my W's youngest sister and the closest SIL to me. I gave her a job for her entire undergraduate career, so we spent a lot of time together. This whole thing is very hard on her, but I tried to settle her about the whole ordeal. This will go very hard on her, as she is very sensitive.
