the fertile valleys, baby!

when you know you have to leave work early because you're scheduled to be on the road at a specific time, it's sometimes difficult coming up with a good excuse. a good excuse needs to be plausible. same with a good lie. it's all about the details.

"yesterday for lunch i bought half a chicken from the grocery store and had a 2 scoop waffle cone (banana nut and mint chocolate chip). i wasn't feeling to well yesterday after lunch, and made it known that i was leaving work 30 minutes early. *key point*

today i show up, still not really feeling all there. in fact, i threw up last night. i take the weird chinese herbal remedy that my boss has in his desk, but it's not doing the trick. i should probably leave work early so as not to get everyone else sick."

as much as it's in the details, it's also in the planning. had i stayed late and been fine the day before, it would appear obvious that i want my long vacation to start a little earlier. but because the story carries over from one day to the next, and there is an obvious change in my demeanor at work, it must be true. this is why i am now home at 11:41 am

so there you have it.

now it is time to pack.
