It’s been a few days since I blogged – got a bit of catching up to do. The birthday visit went well, I think everyone had fun. My family got in a little later than they expected so we stayed up and talked and hung out. I slept on the bench that I built – which was not quite as uncomfortable as I had thought it would be. We did a lot of running around on Saturday and then had cupcakes and presents. I got a couple of CD’s and some shelves – which we put together. We also made some paper before they left – I think Dad got some serious ideas for projects. <\/p>\n

As an extra special birthday present from the county – I also had to go get my registration for my car renewed. The BMV I go to is quick and effecient – with reasonably friend staff. However, the fee for the renewed registration was $49.50
And for that I got a piece of paper and a sticker. Great. At least the echeck was free this year…<\/p>\n

Earlier this week I had to come back on campus in the evening – in a differnt car than I’m normally in. So, I stuck my parking pass in that car and promptly forgot it. When I got out of work – parking ticket and $25 fine. <\/p>\n

Now, I’m an employee here and I still have to pay to park on campus – a policy I’ve never been happy about since it was instituted. On the parking permit application, I had to put my license plate number and on the ticket they listed that too. So, why is there not a connection between the two bits of data? <\/p>\n

I think I can get out of it – by donating canned goods to the parking services food drive. <\/p>\n

Still, it’s annoying.<\/p>\n

And so is the cough I’ve got this morning. I almost wish I would get “all the way” sick so that I could stay home and people would be nice to me. Instead, a low level cold the whole winter. Great.<\/p>\n

I’ve got a huge-ass and a weird-ass project at work. I’m pretty sure it’s at least 12% beyond my current skill level. Should be fun – for values of “fun” that include mental anguish and horror.<\/p>\n

Well, I guess it’s time to get back to work…<\/p>\n
