We're all trying to get stuff done before Hurricane Flo makes landfall. I'm pretty sure we're far enough inland to be out of the worst of it, but the university is closing tomorrow at noon. (Which I appreciate. We're still expecting a lot of rain and flooding, and that would play havoc with my commute.)
Last night I used a service to pick up groceries for me. I had a first-time free delivery coupon code and a strong desire to not fight crowds for the last of the crackers. The shopper spent over 45 minutes in line at check out. I tipped her really well and considered it money well spent. Barring health or transportation issues, I don't see myself using this service regularly, but I'm definitely a fan.
No, -t he's getting paid in money. This is just a co-worker who happens to raise chickens.
I love this new job. He comes home for lunch and is home earlier most evenings so we're not rushing through dinner and bath.
ltc managed to spread her toys all over the area where our donated chair and loveseat used to be. So, Mom and I just reorganized all her toys. TCG is going to think he walked into the wrong house. Why didn't I inherit the organization gene?
That sounds great, sj!
I am wanting it to be Thursday but only in a "then it will be closer to the weekend" way. I slept in my own bed last night and thought maybe since I'd been getting up at 7am east coast time it would be easier today to get up on pacific time. But no.
Ugh, I forgot what my real job is like over the summer. Today is five hours of meetings in four different buildings, so not a whole lot of time to really do anything, at least not if I want to keep up on the internet!!! Tomorrow is also five hours of meetings, but only in two different buildings.
Friday is vacation.
TCG's new job sounds really good for all of you, sj. I'm glad.
I am not being a particularly good employee today. *yawn*
I heard from the mechanic -- the flywheel can't be remachined, so it has to be replaced as well, to the tune of $400 more.
I joined up in ... August, I think ... of 2003 - just in time to sign up for the DC F2F. I remember being at the party and people peeking in and thinking we looked like fun ... and the bartender (I think) calling friends to talk about us.
Atropa - I thought of you when I heard about an antiquarian/rare book show that will take place near the end of the month - they have a first edition of Dracula.
I almost pulled a Cynthia Nixon by putting tuna on a cinnamon oatmeal English muffin. Fortunately, the smell of the cinnamon tipped me off.
