Today is my son’s 16th birthday; since it falls on a Thursday (a busy day for the household), we’ll celebrate it tomorrow by going out to eat. I hope he isn’t too disappointed. Since he is a practical sort, he has already told us to direct all gift money to a single video game that comes out in November. I also bought him a fancy graphing calculator for his Calculus class, but he wouldn’t really consider that “present” material. He’ll be happier with the game. I did spend some quality time with him (blowing stuff up on a video game) before heading off to band practice.
Well, I’m already wishing it was the weekend. Fortunately, the day went quickly because I had a lot of work to do, and now I have decent tools to do it with. This makes me happy.
I also drove the yellow car today and my buddy John came into work mentioning that he spent a good five minutes simply looking at it in the parking garage. He decided that it was unfair that I had such a nice car. Our boss said that this time next year, we’ll all have Porsches if we want them. Wouldn’t that be great? I’m not holding my breath, but it does look like we’ll be profitable in the middle of next year and exceedingly profitable the year after that… on paper. A lot of things still have to go right for us to meet this expectation. For now, I’m the only one with the Porsche.
