I have lost my "good" eyeglasses. They aren't the really expensive ones, but they are the pretty ones that look decent on me. Can't find them anywhere. Afraid I left them in the hotel room in Nashville, or the rental car. Dammit.

~ma, Calli!

My productivity problem today is that I'm tired. I fell sleep reading last night and woke up around 5am wondering why the light was still on. I suck at focusing when I'm tired, so I just need to pick some things I want to get done in the next couple of hours.

I killed my battery twice today doing the same thing (leaving my headlights on, because it wasn't dark enough to notice, and my alarm noise thingy has stopped working, grrr)!

My car the back door (it's a mini-SUV) has trouble latching if you don't STRONGLY close it. And when I'm in the garage with the door open, sometimes I forget, because I don't have a ton of space, and it only MOSTLY closes...and then the "door ajar" light is on...and I KEEP doing it! You'd think I'd learn.

Oh, I have that trouble when I park in the garage, meara. I can tell the door is still open because the dome light is on, but with the garage light on I don't notice the dome light.

Leaving the lights on I have trouble with because they will turn themselves on under some circumstances, so just seeing that the headlights are shining on the wall I'm parked in front of does not mean I need to turn them off. I have trained myself pretty well to just turn the switch off regardless, just in case.

Bummer, Zen. You could contact the hotel and car company and ask.

Yeah, Zen -- that's probably worth two phone calls...

Arthur Chu continues to be great, this time about the Hugos, and in the process teaching me stuff about the Washington Monument! [link]

That makes me feel better, meara.

I don't even know why I flipped my headlights on, it wasn't that overcast and it was raining, so it's not like I was obeying the windshield wiper law.

Still, I borrowed the charger from work that you can plug into an outlet just in case the drive home wasn't enough of a recharge.

In other, good, news, I lost my wallet at lunch the other day. Realized on my way back to work, went back to Wendy's, checked the parking lot and asked inside, no dice. Crap. Called mum to tell her to cancel the credit card we share. Was about to call my bank to cancel my own cards when I got a text from work from a gentleman who'd found my wallet. Turned around again and went back to Wendy's and got my wallet back, short only one (emergency) card. Phew! I was having horrid visions about having to get a new license, how to get cash in the interim, canceling work's Home Depot CC, etc.

Such a huge relief.

I have a screening call on Friday for a job I applied for Monday, after agonizing over the contents of the cover letter for a week. This was the one where they asked for a salary range which I completely forgot to add. Ha! I expect it will come up Friday.

Nice one, Arthur Chu. Ties together a lot of stuff I have been idly thinking about much more coherently than I could. That's always nice when someone else makes sense of my thoughts for me.

Good luck, lisah!

Timelies all!
