- I got carded last night when I ordered a Negro Modelo with my burrito bowl at Chipotle.
x - It was not enough that they looked at my birthday (which was in the first half of the last century), they had to check the restrictions on the license, too. WTF?
x - I pointed at my graying hair, but then the manager said they had to check the restrictions. Since when do drivers licenses say anything about whether the holder can have a beer?
x - At the office today. So far I have had a 20-minute meeting with my HR person to discuss my schedule, exchanged my laptop for a loaner while they set up a new laptop for me (old one's lease is up), and... and... checked my email about a gazillion times. Because I have nothing else to do.
x - All in all, I've done about 2 hours of work ::commence tapping fingersnails on desk::
x - That's a lot different than what it was like on, say, April 1. Or what it will be like on September 10. Or October 10.
x - I think I prefer the busy times.
x - I knitted a couple rows on The Lace Shawl last night.
x - I almost knitted a couple more this morning before I came in to the office.
x - Then I reminded myself that there are 533 stitches in each row. And I needed to leave for work in 15 minutes or my parking cost would double.
x - No knitting this morning.
x - Having lunch with BGFE today. #2 Son is participating in a 24-hour bike race in Milwaukee.
x - I sincerely hope the humidity is lower there. It's at least 110% here.
x - Horribly uncomfortable, even when the temperature is 72 degrees.

(later)
x - Back from lunch with BGFE (need to change that to Best Fiance Ever) today. Date set (6/7/13), dress picked, registry begun, venue auditioning started.
x - I am kinda glad I am the mother of the groom. No need to be responsible for the planning; need only to be interested and offer opinion when solicited. Excellent for someone as lazy/low energy as I.
x - Two years to organize a mother-of-the-groom dress. Even I can do that.
x - My new laptop is ready. Time to go home! (I think I may be the only person actually in the tax department right now anyway. Such are Friday afternoons in summertime...)
x - Have a great weekend!
