Y8 D299

Having trouble staying awake right now. Just want to close my eyes for another hour or two. Don't know why I am so tired right now. I went to bed at a decent time. Oh well. Wake up and focus doo doo head.

Yesterday ended up being an interesting day for a monday. Our primary goal in the morning was to get B's passport application submitted. That was priority number one. Since this is a first time passport for her, she had to apply in person. Renewal is through the mail only. The office nearest us is the city hall department of finance. They have a limited number of persons available to do this and limit the number of people to 30 each day. They start at 8:30 but people get there earlier to get their number. We got there at 8:07. We were number 6. But B realized she forgot a piece of paper. I had roughly 23 minutes to go back home, grab the paper, and get back. I did it in 29. She still waited another 15 or so minutes from when I got back. We were out of there by 9:15 which is not bad at all. Her passport is now on its way and will be here in 6-8 weeks. One task complete!

B as you might have expected, decided to go back to bed. Shocker, right? She laid down and I went to work. Since I am once again without classes this week, I need to fill my time. I decided to make a few people happy and get something off my plate for the rest of the year. Our marketing team wants technical blog posts for the web site. We as a department agreed to 12 posts. This comes out to 4 per person. I already have done two. I did one more yesterday. Turns out I am the ONLY one who has been submitting any and as a Thank You the VP of Marketing authorized me to go to dinner on the company. With a $200 budget. I can handle that. We are headed downtown tomorrow night for dinner now. No complaints here. Especially since I didn't do this for the recognition but just to get it off my plate. I will probably do one more this week and not have to worry about it for the rest of the year.

I do have some stuff to work on today. New client wants a private training on something and I have to ascertain if it's even feasible. This will be fun.

Had massive amounts of leftovers and then B wanted to try and find something specific at the store. Turns out what she was looking for is only at whole foods. She wanted to try these new vegan burgers. Their website shows them at multiple stores but no, we had to go into hippie land. Fuck that store. The burgers were $4.99 for 8oz. That's $10 a pound. Are you kidding me? $10 a pound for fucking vegetables? Whatever. She wanted to try them and she will. But come on. You try to eat healthy and it costs you an arm and a leg. Ridiculous.

Got back home, watched some tv, went to bed around 10:30.
