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!

Have hit the "sick of matzah and related foods" part of Passover.

Nice! As soon as possible in the conversation, ask them what the range is -- see if you can beat them to the punch.

Not me! Looking forward to my pastrami on matza dinner, in fact.

You and me both. I'm not quite at "I would cut a bitch for a bagel", but I'm way beyond "thank god I eat kitniyot or I wouldn't have made it this far."
