83% of Crimes are Committed By People Who Are Bored

FACT: I just made up that statistic.
FACT: I ripped off my random percent from Barney Stinson- fictional character and my hero
REALLY TRUE FACT: Nothing good happens when you are bored (I grew up in a small town. I know this.)

Today started off like any normal day at work. But, instead of 500 check outs we had 86 and instead of 600 check ins we had 65. So after about the first hour of going through reports, crossing our i's and dotting our invisible t's (i just realized i might be mentally dyslexic. hmm. weird) there wasn't a whole lot going on. Did I mention that we have two hotel tours? Yep. North and South. The South Tower is the main tower and the North... well, let's just call the North Tower BFE. (Does that age me? I'm a cougar, OK?!)

Haha, but seriously. So Gray and I set up in the North Tower for 8 hours of hospitality bliss. Like I said. 7am-8am--- breeze. Next 7 hours, a little trickier. We managed to fill thirty minutes taking an idiot test online- yah, I know. Gray made it to "brilliant" status. After I was booted back to the beginning about 8 times for answering incorrectly (hey, clicking the lightest blue square was hard!) I said FUCK THIS and accepted my idiot label. I'm not sure how I made it to 12:30, but I did and off to lunch I went.

When I got back to the desk after lunch, Chris was there. I explained to him that I wanted to gouge my eyes out because I was sooooo bored. And, that dear friends is when everything went downhill.

Chris: "Oh! Man! You should totally check out this website. I wasted like an hour and a half on it the other day just perusing." (He moves to my terminal and types in the link: thisiswhyimbroke.com-- I'm not effing kidding-- and yes, you can bet your bottom dollar (hehehe) I was intrigued).

Now, what do you think is greater than my love of spending money on essential things like coffee? Yes, that's right...spending money on things that are awesome... and this website... well this website is the KING OF AWESOME. I'm not even joking. I want to spend $10,000 right now. Ok- not really- but yah, cool stuff.

Exhibit A:
Glow in the Dark Toilet Paper!!!! AHHHHHH!!!! I know! Are you freaking out right now?! Because I totally am! Whoever invited glow in the dark toilet paper is a genius! GENIUS! I mean come'on, how much does it suck when you have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom? You have to turn the light on or you risk stubbing your big toe. But once you turn the light on you know there's a chance that you are not going back to that sweet, sweet peaceful and/or sexy dream. Am I right? Of course I'm right. Which is why Glow in the Dark Toilet Paper is the BEST IDEA EVERRRRRR.

Word.

That's not all either. I also found a really cool shark sleeping bag for only $300-- you sleep between its Jaws. Obviously. And then there was the minime bobble head. Yes, custom bobble heads. You can put your huge head on your little body, again. True story. Or how about the Coffee Table Aquarium or Plastic Walk on Water Bubble? I feel like I'm having a heart attack and falling in love all at the same time..... I can't breathe, too many coool things. GASP.

Wait... there's even Caffeinated Soap?! Just kill me now! I will never feel more whole than at this moment. (Insert angels singing HERE).
