The call to the landlord was successful – by the time I got home, the heat was back on and my apartment was toasty. Well, not toasty since I don’t keep it that warm in there, but still nice.<\/p>\n

Christmas shopping is proceeding on pace – I’ve got my list of people to buy for and I think I’ll be able to knock it out this afternoon with a trip to a couple of stores.<\/p>\n

Had a moment of swearing on the drive to work this week – a small section of road closed for no apparent reason. It’s not the first time this has happened on this stretch of road – nor is it the first time that I’ve gotten in the turning lane and then been trapped by other traffic when I didn’t seen the poorly positioned signs. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a Point A to Point B kinda guy – and I had to loop around past Point E to get to work. Annoying.<\/p>\n

Let’s see…what else is going on? Well, we met the new VP on Friday – seems pretty cool.

“Just play it cool, boy. Real cool”<\/p>\n

And on the disturbing note of me quoting West Side Story – I’m outta here…<\/p>\n
