Yesterday turned into a really good day. It was a very LONG day, but a good day over all. I am having more of those lately, aren't I?

Had to get up really early because I had to take public transportation the entire day. I left my house at around 4:30 and took the first train at 4:58. Then I transferred to train number two which took an hour to get to the client. It wasn't horrible in that I got to relax and sit and read for once. I actually managed to get about 30% through a book yesterday which was great. Got into the client around 6:45 and dealt with their usual daily bullshit. My give a fuck meter is currently broken so I couldn't even tell them how many fucks I don't give at this point.

Left there around 12 to head to the city to deal with getting fingerprinted for my next client. That too wasn't a bad ride. Took about 45 minutes and I got to relax. Got to the city and stopped at a place I miss since leaving my last job. The new client is like three blocks from the old company which made things very easy for me in terms of knowing where to go. Got inside and spent about 1/2 hour getting fingerprinted. They did all ten fingers both flat and rolling. I means serious security for this shit. It was kind of scary that they have that much of me on file now. Fuck it. The world will end anyway and it all won't matter right?

Got on the train one last time for the day. Made it home around 2:30 which was amazing. I then went to Best Buy. Oh yeah baby, I got a Kinect. And now the story of the Kinect...

Every day this week pretty much I have tried going online and ordering a Kinect. Each time it would let me select a store and process the order. Then about two hours later I would get an email saying sorry it's not *really* in stock. Oops. Please cancel the order. Also during all this the price went from the sale price of $99 back to the regular price of $149. Well yesterday when I logged in all the stores finally showed stock which indicated that they really did have it in stock. I got super excited and tried to place the order. It kept saying my Best Buy card couldn't be processed. WTF? I haven't spent anything really on it. Maybe a couple hundred dollars. I looked it up and I had $120 free. Again WTF? I called them and oh guess what you have almost $500 in pending charges. WHAT? Oooooh. I get it. Took me forty minutes on the phone getting it all cleaned up and all the pending cancels to go through. The guy on the phone was fantastic and really helpful. I asked him if he could do the sale price because of all the back and forth and he said no problem. This guy was great and I told him as such. He said I made his day. Well he made mine. I picked up the Kinect with the kid and when we got home there were packages waiting. YAY! Mostly it was some stuff I had ordered for me/the house from Amazon. But after looking at the tree, I said fuck it - we are opening the Kinect tonight. Around six, KBF and TGF both came over, then two of my other friends and we had a Kinect party. Oh my god it was a blast. So much more fun than the Wii ever was/is. We all played different games for hours bouncing and laughing and joking AND SOBER. We had some Mike's Hard to drink but we are talking like 2 or 3 each over 4 hours. That's the same as drinking soda all night. We just had a blast. In bed by one, happy, relaxed, in a goofy playful mood. We didn't even have sex. Just fell asleep in each other's arms.

What a great day. Need more of them.
