It Could Only Last So Long

Well that was disappointing to the 592th degree. We certainly deserve to be #2 in the nation after the pathetic showing on Saturday against unranked Washington State. (Huck the Fuskies!) It was a weekend of upsets in the college football world and USC was almost part of it. Barely squeaked out with a 3-point win when we were favored by 20 or more. We haven't been Penalty U for a looooong time. 165 freaking yards man. That's a lot! Gah. It was as bad to watch as the National Championship game against Texas two years ago. Well almost. We didn't beat Texas. We won this game, true, and that is certainly better than losing. But it doesn't really feel like we won. Except maybe to Washington State.
In other, happier news, I had dinner with Cogent Friday night at Sushi-O-Zekii (dunno if the link will work for you - it only did 1/6 times for me) and it was goooood. We ordered the sushimi boat and it comes to your table in an actual wooden boat. And this is not some crappy use-once-and-throw away boat. This was a quality ship. The rudder actually moved and could be directed from the deck and all the masts came out to facilitate the reaching of the sushi. I even liked the miso soup and that is rare. Miso takes like rubber smells and that's just not appetizing. But this stuff was good. Thanks sugar!
But now it's Monday and I am back in the office I just can't not whine if today is an indicator of how the week is going to go. TRB (The Rabid Barracuda, for those who have a program) is driving me up the wall. Do you suppose she's getting worse or am I getting antsy because I'm leaving soon-ish? Seriously. It's one thing to not report a mistake in your favor to the company. (I would tell them, but some people wouldn't.) It is quite another to broadcast to the office how you plan on defrauding the Department of Water and Power by a factor of 10!

This is me, knowing the end can't come soon enough. Why is that *#!$%#^! turtle taking so long!?
