I’m lazy, so I’m making you type a comment answer instead of having you click a radio button or checkbox.
If your landlord called you at work to tell you that people were coming to see your apartment tonight at 6:30pm and tomorrow at 5:30pm what activity would you do to keep yourself occupied?
A. Stay late at work and do nothing.
B. Go out to dinner.
C. Waste $4+/gallon of gas and drive around aimlessly.
D. Go home, sit in your chair, glare at people who walk through.
E. Invite yourself over to a relative or friend’s house.
F. Go grocery shopping even though you only need 2 things.
G. Sit in your car and sob. (I’m a comedian, I have no desire to sob.)
H. Make phone calls to people who are busy and just sit there not talking but making them stay on the phone with you for your amusement. (Wow, this sounds like my everyday.)
I. SUPER SECRET MYSTERY AGENDA ITEM. (As in, “other”; define “other”.)

B, then I. Which means dinner, then shopping. Or shopping, then dinner. And by shopping I mean at the mall. And by dinner I mean at the mall too. Mmmm Chik Fil-a…
July 9th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
E.
You can come to my place. That’ll keep you busy for a bit.
July 9th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
I. Go see a movie!
July 9th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
i am all about inviting myself over to someone’s house. do it all the time. so your scenario would be no different!
July 9th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Go see a movie!
Oh. What sourpuss said.
July 9th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Wait, what ?!
July 9th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Hmm like avitable and sourpuss said, go see a movie. I nominate kung fu panda. LOL
July 9th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Wait. Give me a minute. I’m losing myself in the fantasy of “you can’t go home and you have to find something to do to amuse yourself for a while”…
OK. I’m back.
Um – shop, eat, pedicure, movies, friends house, random errands including a grocery store that didn’t have to be a marathon event.
How long do I have?
July 9th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
I say E: Invite yourself over to my house.
Movie sounds good, too, though. I saw “Wall-E” a couple of weekends ago and thought it was really good.
July 9th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Go to dinner and then call me so I can help you decide what to eat. Then I can chat with you while you wait for your food to come. It would be like going out to dinner with ME.
July 9th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
I’d sit on my couch and glare at the prospective future tenants, to make them feel extra welcome.
July 9th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Finn, can you believe that we have NO Chik Fil-a in France?!
Mikey, I know this is a trap. You just want me to swoop in and fix your HR nightmare then go away. But I’m cool with that so I’ll be right over. I’m not afraid to bop those assholes on the nose.
Sour, I would do that except I am seeing movieS with Dawg this weekend so I’d rather wait.
I did rent WarGames for 99 cents through iTunes! I could watch that! … from my office.
Hola, I actually can’t think of one person in France I’d like to hang out with today except Break Boy and family, but they’re a little far for me to go to just so that I’m not home for a 10 minute showing of my apartment.
Avi, no! Oh, what I said to Sour.
Creature, what what?
Yoshi, I’ll wait for that one to come out on DVD. I’m just not ready for the KF Panda’s jelly.
Britt, ok, ok, I’ll come babysit while you go do fun stuff.
B, (as long as you promise NO lemon drops!
) I saw WALL-E last weekend. My review: predictable but cute, cute but predictable.
Lisa, my eating corn dog and tater tots didn’t scare you away from wanting to eat with me? Hmm, I’ll try harder next time.
Jan, finally! Someone who chooses the answer I was hoping for! I would totally do that too, especially if I got the vibe from the landlord that she didn’t like the person looking at the apartment. I really want to see the place get rented, though, so people stop coming through and bugging the kitties.
July 9th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
hehehehehehe! You said asshole and nose in the same sentence.
It’s not a trap! I do have Guitar Hero on my Wii, and I’m sure I can mix a few drinks.
And BTW, thanks for reminding me of my HR nightmare.
I’m definitly mixing drinks now.
July 9th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
What time can you be here?
July 9th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Sorry, did you mention something about a mystery option? I would like to know more about that please.
July 9th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Well, if you are me, then tonight you are going to the mysterious “South Transfer Station”–the City of Minneapolis facility where residents can dump things they don’t pick up on garbage day… like a big pile of bricks demolished from your front yard, in my case. Doesn’t that sound like fun? Don’t you have some bricks or old appliances to dump, too? No? OK then, I say go to Target. You can always kill an hour or so at Target.
July 9th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
I meant whatwhatwhat is going ooooooooon ?
July 9th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
I’d sit in the office and read blogs ;-)
July 9th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Shoe shoppinggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 9th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
I am boring, so I say stay late at work.
July 9th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
Mikey, I do seem to play better when slightly inebriated.
Britt, I seriously need a nap first. So, um… next Tuesday.
Maman, inside joke between me and my boss where I say I have an agenda item I want to add to a meeting and he goes completely pale and thinks I’m going to announce that I’m quitting and he’s never right. Yet.
Stef, no thanks, did plenty of that before selling the house.
Creature, … I’m moving to New York?
Turnbaby, that’s close to what I did!
Steph, blurg. No more shoes, not before I move.
Jen, I stayed until quarter of 7 talking to my co-worker. She and I have MARATHON discussions about our lives. I’m off work at 4:30pm, so that chat was 2h15m.
July 9th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
j. Plan what music you will put on your new iPhone that you get on Friday
July 9th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
They just built another chik-fil-a by my job and there is one walking distance from my house
I don’t like it.
but…
when my friends and I first moved to Jersey, we called it
chick fill a
then about 1 year later found out it
chick fillet.
We thought that was funny
July 9th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
Either A or B… but in A “doing nothing” would be “play online”…
July 9th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
Mystery!!!
If I lived in France I’d have you over, for sure.
