I feel like paper magazines are gonna make a comeback soon. And I’m here for it!
Forever mood
Cut to me finding and correcting mistakes that were made five years ago. The good news is that now that I’ve discovered the issue, I have added a step to my quarterly checklist to make sure it never goes unnoticed again. I get things done!
Gonna need a new index card for “check back of ears for hair!” I discovered one today that was like four inches long. I could have hung a bead from it. I’m sure it was flapping in the breeze at my interview also. WTH?
I decided to make the bee design my screen saver also. I’m very busy today!
I’m bringing sexy back
Because I’m a lil’ extra, I made an insert to tuck into the clear case of my new prezzie. Yes, I’m up two hours past my bedtime.
My X4 is here! Praise the LORT! New prezzie!
I just ordered a mini shop vac so that I can vacuum my shoes. As one does. The rub is that I used to own one of these, and they are infinitely handy. I accidentally lost the vacuum when I sold my camper. It was in my camper’s storage cubby (I suspect) and off it went. Dang! I absolutely hate it when I get dust or mud splatter on my shoes. And now that leather shoes no longer exist, and everything is made from mesh of canvas, shoes look like hell in no time flat. I’ve gotten in the habit of power washing my shoes in the bathtub, but they take many days to dry. That mesh soaks up water like a sponge. I had the wild idea that I could use a upholstery wet-dry vac tool to spot clean my shoes. This lead me down a research rabbit-hole and then on to the more simple wet-dry vac. I think I can achieve my goals with this and a spray bottle, versus buying a more expensive machine. Plus, I can use this for other things. We’ll see!
I was today years old when I learned that “tarnation” is contraction or corruption of the phrase “eternal damnation.”
Drop everything! My X4 has been delivered! Allegedly. I may need to go home early sick. Cough! Cough!
Wow! 20 years ago in a coat room of some gay bar far, far away.
There is a folk music concert on campus tonight that I’m mildly interested in. But it doesn’t start until 7:30 at night! There is no way in hell I can stay up that late on a school night. Elderly.
Morning cackle!
I’m pretending it’s spring even though it’s only 31 degrees out.
Ugly shoe update
Sweet Baby Jesus! My X4 is somewhere in Syracuse!
Hey boo
So yesterday. During my four hours of meetings at the Local Bakery, nothing resembling a finance question was uttered. In fact, not much resembling an interview took place. We did a walking tour outside and talked about all the new construction, bustling shops, and lively activity everywhere. I got a close-up-look at a few good cookie joints. We then piled in a car, drove across town, and had a big group lunch at Canale’s. Even though I was in a suit and white shirt, I hit the spaghetti and meatballs hard. Elbow deep! I did not get any sauce on my shirt or tie. We talked a lot about winter sports and race car driving. As you well know, I’m a sports and race car savant. I tried to nudge the conversation toward my professional accomplishments and skills, with some luck. “Oh? Your new snow mobile reminds me of a spreadsheet I’m working on! Let me tell you all about it.” When we returned to their offices, I had a half-hour solo meet-and-greet with the Biggest-Big-Wig-Head-Cheese. I think it all went well. They definitely liked me. But there are other candidates. They are holding interviews over the next few weeks and hope to make a final decision by the end of March. Side note, they told me previously that they would be making their final decision by the end of February, so who knows? Bakeries take forever to do pretty much anything. I thus don’t need to worry about any movement while I am in Florida next week. Nor probably until my birthday, I suspect!
It’s happening! I know how to parté.

Oh Lort! My X4 is now somewhere on Long Island!
