Five things, take two
Nov. 27th, 2018 11:30 pm1. After a few days off, the rain is back today. Perhaps this means winter is finally upon us? We can only hope.
2. The downside of rain: potholes. There's a section of Highway 101 that basically disintegrates every time we get heavy rain (between Mid-Stick and SFO, for those of you who might be familiar with the area), but this is a level up. That stretch of road is on my commute to work; there is, in fact, an excellent chance that I drove over this stretch of pavement earlier today. Today in reasons I'm glad we didn't repeal the gas tax....
3. Normally work would be winding down for the holidays about now, but thanks to my main project and a few other things, I'm as busy as I've ever been. And next week I'm out of town for a meeting in Long Beach.
4. Still, today I let my project team know that I'm planning to be out the entire week between Christmas and New Year. It's fairly ridiculous that any office expects people to work during that time. When I worked for a dotcom, we got that whole week off without pay. Much more civilized.
5. On Sunday, I went to a craft fair and got a couple of necklaces, some soap, a couple of gifts, and this adorable owl laptop sticker. I can already tell it will make me smile for much time to come.
