Today was a good day. I can tell already that the overall impression of today will be good.
“Why was it good, even though it isn’t done yet?” you ask.
Stop interrupting me and I will tell you.
Today, even though it involved an hour long conference call was good because of something I got to say. Today, even though I got to work late and had to get 2 things finished in less than 15 minutes was good because when I said that something, the person I said it to understood. Today, even though it is the middle of the work week was good because when I said it and the person understood it the ultimate results were exactly what I was looking for.
Here is a transcription of the transaction as near as I can recall it*.
Me: Can I have the 10 inch baked chicken, light on the onions and with ranch on the side?
Guy behind the counter: Sure. Anything else?
Me: Chips and a drink, oh, and can you bacon that up?
Guy behind the counter: /snicker… Yeah, we can “bacon” that up
And, lo, when the sandwich was brought forth there was bacon, and the ranch was on the side.
Today was a good day because not only did I get to use “Bacon” as a verb, I also got to eat bacon and the ranch dressing was on the side.
To recap:
Digital Thursday is tomorrow
I need some more stuff for that
Maybe I will make something new tonight
Parents are coming back through for dinner tomorrow
It should be nice
I hope the conversation does not revolve around their financial situation again
I should have gotten the sandwich on wheat
Then it would have been healthy
My head is killing me today

Nouns as verbs. I think I just found my post topic for tonight.
Dustin:
Keep in mind that it doesn't work with all nouns
i also got to work late today. in fact, technically, i haven't actually gotten there at all. tomorrow, when i roll in to the office around 10:30 and my boss asks, WHY ARE YOU LATE FOR WORK TODAY? i will answer, "DON'T YOU MEAN TO ASK: WHY AM I SO EARLY FOR WORK TOMORROW???"
It's amazing to me that bacon (the meat, not the Kevin) actually does brighten your mood. And the fact that you got to ask someone to bacon something up, and they did...Man, that's like ultimate bliss for you...
Could you please try "fat back," as a verb next time?

Brilliant!
Wifey:
mmmmmmm bacon...
Atmikha:
I don't think that works so good unless of course you are verbing it up for green beans or baked beans.
