I'm just slightly irate because I got a $50 ticket because I hadn't put the year sticker on my license plate that I got with my registration papers. The registration is all in order, and in the car, but we had such a long stretch of wet weather last month that I put off putting it on until I could make sure that it would stay dry for 24 hours, and then of course I forgot.
That does suck. But in California you will be pulled over within weeks of an expiry date on your registration, and some CHPs take great glee in impounding your car over it.
That's crazy. Here in Missouri, I'm surprised how many cars I see without plates at all. I mean, it's not like it's common, but still more than I'd expect.
A good chunk of my evening commute was spent following a Maserati with the plates "BROKE". Yeah, okay.
I'm not sure how one can butt-dial on an office phone system but someone managed it and I got to listen to a background conversation with several people at the info desk trying to figure out who was receiving a delivery of powercon whips. (Spoiler, it was me).
Thanks, WS. Damn allergies.
Dare I ask what a powercon whip is? Perhaps it's more lurid in my imagination.
Pretty bold to take delivery of the whips at work I say.
So, within the last week I bragged here about never getting a cold, and you guessed right, spent yesterday basically in bed, because I am a big baby. The only thing I can figure is I depleted my immunity Sunday on the beach cleanup. 8-10 in the morning is way too hot on the beach at this time of year. I was wiped out the rest of the day. On Tuesday I had a sore throat, which I ignored, and by yesterday full ick.
Per the previous discussion I am going to have DH pick me up some Zicam on his way home from basketball practice. During the summer he runs the players on the beach at 7AM. Our students finish school in May so this has been the first week of summer camp for basketball. Beach morning, gym in the afternoon, games at night. I won't see DH for a month for the most part.
I've been too anxious at night to sleep well. I'm so exhausted. I'm just trying to push through until my inlaws show up after lunch.
I saw a new variation of a 'coexist' bumper sticker. All the letters are normal except for the 'x' which is a confederate battle flag.
Oh, I don't think I like that at all. I just don't get co-existing peaceful notions when I see that flag.
I hope rest happens soon, sj. Sorry about the anxiety.
Dare I ask what a powercon whip is?
It's just a power cord with a powercon connector on one end. Somewhere along the line our industry started refering to the cords coming out of moving lights as whips.
I'm just going to let the info desk folks wonder. They should be used to odd deliveries. I helped them figure out who a package from a taxidermy shop was for not too long ago (costumes).
Pretty bold to take delivery of the whips at work I say.
36 of them.
