Driving home from work

I grew up in Northern Virginia outside of Washington DC and my Mom always used to tell me (sometimes still does) that I should get a job with the government. Good job security, benefits and a good retirement package.
I don't think I could handle a 9 to 5 and wearing a suit, but I really couldn't deal with sitting in traffic on the beltway.

Here's a video of my commute home from work today.

Ain't Nothin' but a G Thang

 I received a black suitcase via FedEx today.

My immediate thoughts were a possible drug shipment gone wrong, so of course I opened it to check the contents.

I was so sure this was going to be a big score for me, the wheels were turning...


A big G on a nice catalog, umm... okay?

The intro to the catalog tells me I am on the 'inside' and I know what it means to have my day to day existence shaped by my passion.

Whatever.


And then I lift the panel to revel the stash....

Letdown. 

Dear Gatorade people, 
Next time send cash, money order, cashier's check or any other form of currency in amounts large enough to fill the suitcase.

Sincerely,

OC
