Yesterday, we got up early and met Danny’s coworkers at the Caltrain station by our apartment. They planned a field trip to a branch office in San Francisco and I was invited to tag along. We all met at the Caltrain station so that people could park there and then ride the Caltrain home if their rides left before they did. Danny and I walked there and caught a ride with a fellow new hire. On the way in, he pointed out the two-tier stretch of highway that collapsed in the ‘89 earthquake as we were driving on it. Happy thoughts.
We made it to SF, parked, and walked down to the branch office. We toured it for about 20 minutes and left to go to lunch at Bucca di Beppo. In my opinion, this restaurant is totally overrated, but we had 16 people and the company was buying. Why complain? This is why Danny’s company is cool: they bought me, a non-employee, lunch AND we had red wine at the meal. The only time I’ve ever had alcohol at a company event was at a Christmas party four years ago.
After eating, we wandered over to the Metreon to catch a movie. Danny and I passed on the Bourne Supremacy (since we haven’t seen the Bourne Identity yet) and watched I, Robot instead. It was a lot better than I expected it to be. I can’t say that I’d recommend it to everyone, but it’s not a waste of two hours. Finally, we wandered around the city for an hour or two and then caught the Caltrain home.
Today, we have done very little. We went and saw Anchorman tonight. It was awesome. I liked it much better than Elf, which probably isn’t saying much. Still, Will Farrell kicks ass.

After getting out of the movie, we went by Albertson’s to get some supplies. Although the prices at the grocery stores have been horrendous thus far, there is something that we do not have in Texas grocery stores: liquor. We walked in at 10pm, picked out some rum, and bought it at the self-checkout line - easy as pie. This is the second time I have not been carded since we moved here. *grin*
