Happy Jack Bauer Day!

Wake up at 9:00 to shower, get ready, and be to work by 10:00. I get there and realize that I have to work with Ryan for the next two hours, as Jill doesn't come in until noon. I just kind of bomb around looking for odd projects to keep me busy. Jill finally arrives and work gets a little easier. Today was also the first day of my non-negotiable demotion, which means that I am no longer going to work as hard as I was as a shift-manager, even though I know Ryan expects me to continue to work just as hard. He's going to shit his pants when he sees just how little I am capable of doing.

Work comes and goes. Once I'm done with my shift, I grab one of the tables and work on some re-writes for the script. This lasts for about an hour when I realize that I can't take the atmosphere any longer and I cruise home. I call Hart and V on the way to confirm our Jack Bauer date tonight. They both say they'll be there.

I get home and change into my sweats and work some more on re-writes. I start to feel slightly tired, so I decide to lay in bed for a bit and watch some TV. I peep out the first hour or so of Eddie Murphy's bomb, Metro, until I feel I am rested enough to continue with my evening. I cruise into the kitchen and cook up a light dinner, as we don't really have a whole lot to eat in the place, and then chill in the living room watching MSNBC and updating the diary.

V shows up not too long after and we sit around listening to tunes and laughing at the fact that Chris T. pronounces the word "viola" just as it's spelled. Soon enough, Hart shows up and we rock a few games of NFL Blitz while we let the DVR record the new episode of 24 so we can skip through commercials.

The episode turns out to be insanely good and you can tell the plot is really starting to pick up. Everyone chills for a bit longer and then decides to cruise around 9:30 or so. Just as they leave, Justin and Stein show up with a case of beer and we proceed to stay up and throw back a few while we channel surf for a few hours. They end up cruising home around 1:00 or so and I head to the bathroom to take out the contacts and brush the teeth. I then proceed to pass out while watching Patriot Games.
