308- andy's last day

i was tempted to ride my bike today (i love saving that $1.75 each way), but i remembered it was andy's last day. andy worked for us during the election on a contract. that's kind of like a consultant except you work for us. most of these contract hires are pretty much worthless, but andy actually helped us out a lot. i hope they hire him back. we went to stocks & blondes after work to vent frustration and say goodbye (hopefully, not for long). we had a few pitchers and a few beers but i got out of there kind of early. it's not a good idea to let work people see you drunk...trust me. if you work in downtown chicago, i recommend the fish on friday at stocks & blondes.
