Bowling Alley with video games and more importantly - Laser Tag.

Laser Tag - A group of thirty people under an umbrella of work, in a position of grand team exercise is amazing.  Shoot the opponent, contain them, its playing American gladiators, its Double Dare sans slime.  But man did we sweat.

And then Atlanta’s finest, the only place to truly understand Atlanta, but youdonknownuthinboutthat!

The Stretch

We eat at Malones: Gumbo again, cajun grilled shrimp over small caesar salad.  Shiner Bock.

It truly begins - seeing the full assembly, a brief but delightful reunion and off to bed.

Some work, some Lost, a missed call from my lady.  And sleep, to JJ.

My co-worker Leslie introduces me to The Earl in East Atlanta.  This is a smoke filled bar with a diner menu of great Atlanta cuisine.  We had boiled peanuts, fried okra, tots.  I ordered a salmon BLT, yum, and there was a grilled Tuna burger and a spicy yellow fin tuna melt that were close seconds to my meal.

Should’ve napped.  Watched Point Break while digging through application proceedings.

I think there was no natural lights on inside which made the daylight creak through the open windows and make all faces shadow-filled and dark.  We left at four, it felt like 8.  But the food, coffee, and bloody mary were all delicious.  Highly recommended.

Ate Dinner at an Irish pub with Corey, talked about states, girls, girls in states, the state of girls, music, xtreme sports, modeling, cigarettes, beer, water with beer, condiments.  Its nice - grand companion.

Music: Charlotte Gainsburg - IRM, David Bowie - Station to Station

Sleeping.

Eatery: Malone’s (Atlanta Airport)

Having eaten at this bar before I decide to go back, remembering a connection with creole cuisine.  Indeed, this place, a sports bar/restaurant, has a few delicious morels.  They do cajun grilled shrimp, serve a delicious gumbo, and have jambalaya on the menu, always.

Eat  Gumbo.  Listen to Beach House.  Talk about work. Sleep.

Warehouse Conversation wherein I am looking for things the warehouse manager would know about

Me - Do you have vinyl bags?

Warehouse Manager - No.

Me - You don’t have any vinyl bags from last year?

WM - Oh, yeah, we have some.

Conversation in which I ask the warehouse manager whether he has some ratchet straps.

Me - What about ratchet straps?

WM - Don’t know anything about them.

Me - So you have no ideas where they could be?

WM - Oh, they’re in a crate.

Conversation wherein I ask warehouse manager whether he has extra screwguns.

Me - Do you have any extra screwguns?

WM - No.

Me - so No, or maybe you do?

WM - Oh, there are some over here.

Me - Great.

Dinner: Shrimps.

Music: LCD Soundsystem on my way to pickup dry-cleaning for promo-model outfit packages for three tours that the warehouse manager couldn’t pick up.  Not enough, at all.
