Attn anyone trying to reach me this evening: I’ll be unable to return texts between 7 and 9 tonight, as it’s our weekly trivia night at the Saucer. I make it a habit not to text during those times, because it could be mistaken by others in the bar as Googling trivia answers. Unlike some of my fellow team members, who text, tweet, Facebook, play Words with Friends, etc. nonstop during trivia and I wish they’d PUT THEIR DAMN PHONES AWAY. I know no one is cheating, but it looks bad.
Off to lunch… I’ve heard many good things about the double cheeseburger at Tops BBQ. Time to give it a try.
