Had a Finance midterm today and also had to give a 20 minute team presentation in Ethics afterwards. Fun fun. Both went OK, although a couple of those Finance questions were a bit rough.
This is where I’ll be all day tomorrow. Should be fun except for having to be out the door earlier than usual.
I missed dinner, it’s after 10, and I can’t decide if I want to sleep or eat.
Will probably be offline most of tomorrow too.
Was up late last night thanks to a lack of available laundry machines. Who knew Monday was such a popular night to wash your clothes?
The Bush press conference was starting as my alarm clock went off. Since I have a clock radio set to a local newsradio station, I got to hear That Man lying and chucking and stumbling through his anwers first thing in the AM. Not how I wanted to wake up. Until I hit the Snooze button, that is.
Did I miss anything?
I don’t think so.
It was another gloomy, stormy day today, but for a short period this afternoon we were treated to a really impressive rainbow right by the office. Several co-workers gathered to oooh and aah over the show; I grabbed a bunch of photos.
It’s tough to get decent quality shots when you can’t open the windows, most of the ones I took have reflection issues. This is the best of the bunch.
Sitting at my desk with a nice hot cup of coffee and a pile of paper; TurboTax is installing as I type. Let’s see how long it takes to slog through this year’s taxes.
I have a headache already. I woke up with it, and three Advil haven’t completely erased it. This is not going to be fun.
At least the rains are gone for now and it’s a pretty day outside my window.
How’s your Saturday?
Update 11:45 AM: First pass through is finished. I need to dig up originating info about 2 stocks we acquired through company spinoffs/mergers but other than that it’s looking good. Yay me!
As I puttered around the kitchen this morning, making coffee and putting dishes away, I was oblivious to the fact that I’d used up the last of the milk yesterday and not replaced it.
When the time came to put milk into my coffee, I was mightily annoyed with myself — both for not having gone out to get more milk and for having conveniently fogotten the whole issue until it was time to have my morning cup.
Grrrr. No coffee is not how I wanted to start my day.
UPDATE: Decided to try Americano-style and added some hot water to the cup, plus a little extra sugar. Not bad, although given a choice I’d prefer milk. Scott later wandered in and pointed out that I could have added a packet of hot chocolate; I’d forgotten all about that option as well.
My sister called from Italy, my parents called from somewhere in the Carribean, and I got e-mails from a bunch of friends. I had sushi for lunch, Scott took me out to a great dinner, and even the weather was nice.
There’s two presents waiting for me in the apartment manager’s office, and I’ll pick them up tomorrow.
The older I get, the less I like my birthday, but this one was pretty damn nice. The only thing that would have made it better would have been more of my friends and family here with me.
Oh, and here’s a link to a nice story about cats.
