I escaped from the office about 20 minutes earlier than usual today. Nobody cared. Morie was in a meeting in her office and I was convinced that she was much too preoccupied to where she couldn't have cared less about me or where I was.
It was 88 degrees outside when I fled at about 5:10pm and as dumb as it sounds, there was a minimal chance of rain. I didn't read that in the forecast. Still, no rain fell, at least not during the time that I was outside. On the drive from office to home, not a single drop of precipitation fell from the sky. There looked to be some cloud cover hiding behind the nearby mountains, but not a single ounce of rain dropped. I might be in Southern California, but for some damn reason, the place today made me feel like I was all the way back on the other side of the country, all the way back in South Florida. The humidity. The sun glaring. The ever-present threat of rain. Temperatures well over 80 degrees. Yes, for a brief moment, I thought I was in Miami.
I drove home to the song below and for the most part, I minded most of the posted speed limits. I might have a lead foot sometimes, but it's not always on display.
It is not unusual for me to drive with the sounds of old school rap blaring from the speakers, especially when I'm driving home from work. I don't care who might be listening.
Today wasn't too much out of the ordinary, except for the weird weather that crept in this afternoon.
Work was work. I want to say that I was productive. At least, I think I was. At the very least, I was successful in my efforts to leave early today. I don't know if I leave early again tomorrow, but I'm always looking for that opportunity to sneak out that door, whether it happens to be the door on the west side of the building or the east side exit. If I can escape, I will. We shall see.
I've been meaning to delve back into gaming, but again, things have slowed down on that front. I'm going to blame fatigue and the reality that during the week, I am usually too tired to play anything. In the meantime, my gaming backlog continues to grow and I'm not even buying games at a ridiculous clip these days. I've still been meaning to finally play Forza Horizon 6 (XBX), which happens to be the last "new" game I bought. The furthest I've gotten is installing the game onto the Xbox, which took damn near forever. One of these days, I'll finally give it a whirl. Maybe this coming weekend? Possibly? I don't know. Apparently, I'm in no hurry.
Now, there is also a distinct possibility that in addition to fatigue, my mind might be preoccupied elsewhere, to where playing games might be the furthest things from my head. There's a chance that a certain someone might be occupying my thoughts. I know she doesn't mean to, but she just does. It's not her fault and for the life of me, I can't help it. As I wrote this paragraph, the song below just so happened to pop into my head.
This is yet another one of those entries where I don't really have much to say, but I still felt the need to write and jot some thoughts down, no matter how meager or minimal those thoughts might be.
I even felt compelled to throw in some music into the entry as well.
Call me multifaceted, I guess.
