At work today we had an open house for the company, which basically meant we had friends of the company over for a ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by a catered breakfast/lunch. It was nicely done and I'm never one to complain about free food so it was a good deal all around.

This is hilarious. Watch the right side of the screen about 40 seconds into the video

This is one lucky penguin...

My weekend, as I expected, was quite slow. I didn't do a whole lot of anything and mostly relaxed and I enjoyed it. I'm really looking forward to a nice short week this week and I'm really looking forward to my cruise in just two weeks. It should be a good time all around and it will be a nice change of pace to get out from here.

No update on the rental car situation. I plan on checking prices again today but I think my hopes of a last minute sale on prices isn't going to happen, unfortunately. I just hate to pay like $40/day for a stupid basic economy class rental car, especially when I know next week the price will be about half that. Stupid supply and demand economy! Damn you Adam Smith!

Video of the day:

This is just too weird not to mention....

"A miracle pup clung to a speeding car for more than 15 miles after being knocked down.

The motorist, Marco Menozzi, didn’t even stop when he mowed down the one-year-old pooch while doing 70mph on a side road in Cozze, southern Italy.

But he hit the dog so hard he was embedded in the grill under the bonnet of the Peugeot 207 and managed to cling on until the car eventually stopped."

This is the luckiest guy ever. Don't know if this has ever been beat, but this is one crazy outcome for this guy on the Price is Right
