Weekends were made for Guinness

Long weekend for me, didnt do much but it feels like it has dragged on forever. Not that that is really bad but its not that good at least for me. I am working this evening, only 3 more hours to go. Longer hours due to exam time. Had one student ask if we could stay open all night, if so, he would be here studying.
Yesterday went to a surprise 25th anniversary party for my supervisor and his wife. It had been planned for over 3 months and they had no clue so the looks on their faces were priceless when they showed up at the place. I have a picture of the cake and I may post it later this evening of I have time. The food was good, it was a potluck. There was bojanlges and KFC(I did a taste test), mac and cheese, pigs in a blanket. I brought my apple dumplings which I know he really likes and it was gone in no time. Barely had to wash the pan out, it even looked like it had been licked clean. I had some cherry poundcake made with cherry wine, oh may it was so good.
His oldest daughter put together a video to celebrate her parents, with pictures going back to their college days, their wedding, and her brothers and sisters growing up. It was well done. My supervisor came close to breaking down at least 3 times during their speech. It was really nice.
Played some lotro. Made 20th, and made over 200 silver which is pretty good for a few hours running around. I was able to purchase the good 20th level skills and a most of the skills I had not been able to buy at the lower levels.
Went by Sonic before coming into work. Got the sonic cheeseburger without lettuce or tomatoes with fries and vanilla dr pepper.

**update** cake pictures posted

nonesuch #300 Someday there'll be a cure for pain

Seeing CW's clone/twin of course has brought back memories of CW. We did have good times that first year or so. It all went downhill when she started to not like where I work. Its hard to keep a relationship going when you are not getting support with the very thing that is paying the bills and on top of it all was your dream job for years and now you are doing it. I always supported what she wanted to do from this job to that one to another one back around to another. If it sounds strange it was. She once commented that she gets bored easily and when she does she moves on. I wonder now if she meant jobs or men or both. Yeah, both.

Classes ended yesterday, exams start tomorrow. I work exams hours tonight, just an extra hour but that extra hour can really get to you. And I work Sunday evening for a few hours since my co-worker worked for me exam weekend back in December. Its the way we roll, hehe. All the extra hours we work, it all works out. The end of the semester came too quick. Where does the time go. I had things I wanted to do, did some of them but not all. Still waiting on passport so may or may not go to England this summer. Maybe in the Fall or during winter break in December. My parents might not like that but I tell ya, I have been saying since 1989 "I am looking for a dare to be great situation..." and just when I think one has come along, it dissolves away not immediately but over time, slowly until I realize, "huh, where did that go?" So, as I get older I am going to try to take more opportunities. I have said that before, I am not holding my breath so no one else should.

The trip to Chicago gave me the travel bug again but then I remember I am not crazy about flying. It is just so convenient.

I will be posting some lotro screenshots as early as this evening. Really depends on how much is going on when I get into work. It is reading day so it may be very quiet. We also have a breakfast at 9pm on reading day where faculty and staff serve the students pancakes etc. I also will be posting some pictures from Chicago.
