I could see the gift card being a suggestion from the girlfriend, but I'm willing to attribute the apology note to him.
Even so, he is willing to either seek advice on how to make things right or knows enough to take advice when it is offered. I gotta think even if his mom or girlfriend gave him very specific marching orders, if he did not realize the value of what she said, he would have worked in a grudging, backhanded apology.
That is a good apology, but still annoying.
I am damn tired. I just taped a note to his door that says "Apology accepted. Thank you for the gift card." And with that I think I need to go to bed.
I think that's a perfect way to end it.
I need adult supervision. I just re-jacked my ankle. Not as badly, but the difference now is that extending past the range of motion makes me scream and cry.
It was the same thing--leg numb, tried to move, overcommitted, flexed the joint nonconcensually and a shooting burning pain up the outsode of the bandage.
So, to bed, with an icepack and a bandage, and a bit of self--pity.
SLR photographers, what focal length prime lens do you use for portraiture and what aperture do you use?
ita! No more pain, woman! Ouch.
Today is a Rule of 5 day for me:
1 load of laundry
Dust office
Sweep office
Clean surfaces in bathroom
Clean tub (slowly and gently; I'll count that as stretching for my back.)
Tomorrow will be onerous task day for me.
What 5 things/5 minute long tasks can others do today?
Anyone want to join me in Onerous Task Friday?
Work is going to be one big 11- or 12-hour onerous task for me Friday, so gonna pass.
While today was a busy and productive day, I got almost none of the drawing I'd intended to do finished because 4 different people were bombarding me with surprise tasks every few minutes.
I think that counts as onerous, Matt! I hope you survive, and treat yourself to something nice this weekend.
I'm so proud of myself, I've been sorting and discarding 5+ years of bills and correspondence. When I'm finished, it will all be sorted into boxes labelled 2005, 2006, etcetera. Next step today is to Pay All The Bills.
I could use to do Onerous Task Friday with you, Strix. My habitat needs unfucking something fierce.
My Onerous Task Thursday includes giving the Provost a budget projection for FY15 (which normally wouldn't be needed until March, but he is all over the law school finances right now), and writing a cover letter. Of these two tasks, the cover letter is proving more difficult and more I don't wanna.
