Well, if you don't like it, you can always sell it (and it's worth enough to be worth selling, too).Menolly wrote:And again, happy birthday, Balon!!
I just got off the phone with one of the interns at the local radio station I listen to. Turns out I won a Directed Tabletop HD Radio in their latest loyal listener contest.
I admit, the receiver doesn't look all that tech, but I don't know much about HD Radio. And heck, it's free. So I guess I'll find out.
Yay!
How do you feel today?

But I am hoping it lives up to its hype.

I've got to deal with some petty car problems this morning. I've got to buy a vehicle registration sticker for my car, since this morning I'm now late - couldn't find the form they sent me (though I know I put it in my bill pile, I think 
Also, coming home yesterday, I discovered that one of my tires was way low. It wasn't flat, but about as close as you could be. I limped into a gas station and filled it with air, and made it back home where it looked ok. Now this morning I've got to see if it's took. I wonder if someone let the air out of it yesterday?
Other than that, the sun is out and it's a great morning.

Yay for you, Lore! And Menolly -- whoo hoo on the HD radio!
Doing okay here, considering. I dragged myself out of bed early this morning to drive Magickmaker to work before I left for work myself. Then I left my work ID in the car, so I had to get a temporary badge for today. Not a huge deal -- I'm just kicking myself for being stupid and forgetting it.
I have to get up early tomorrow and Thursday, too, to take Magickmaker to work. At least there's a 3-day weekend this week and we both have Friday off. But she's working Saturday and Sunday, so I won't be able to sleep in either of those days unless I demand that she ride her bike in to work. Saaaayyyy.... 
I'm on the verge of applying for an in-house transfer. The new job would be middle management, which I swore I would never do again ("it's all of the responsibility and none of the authority!"), but I'm so freakin' bored in my current position that I don't think I can tough it out 'til I make the Big Move to Colorado in 2010 or 2011. I have to submit an internal application, *and* tell all the folks I'm working for before I send it in. Two of them are on vacation this week, and this isn't really the sort of news I'd want to deliver by e-mail, y'know? So technically I can't send in the app 'til Monday. Which gives me several days to sit with this idea and see how I feel about it....
It's kinda ridiculous, but I feel a little like I'm cheating on my attorneys by applying for another job. I've worked for two of them since I started at the firm, 8+ years ago, and I couldn't ask for better guys to work for. I guess, tho, even if I don't get the transfer, it's better to have my dissatisfaction out in the open than to going on pretending that everything's hunky-dory. I mean, I was so bored yesterday that I actually posted in the Tank.
Anyhow, stay tuned....

work, down o'farrell, minding my own business thinking how weird it
is to be back in SF, thinking how SF doesn't look much like "home"
anymore (i'm tired of living in the tenderloin.) i crossed a street, aware
that i'd soon be in front of the Dollar Car Rental where i rented our
white Avenger, and reached the Hyatt Hotel where taxi's were waiting
for guests and bell hops were taking luggage into and out of the hotel
and i burst into tears.
because it looked more like home than home.
because i miss you and creator and i feel like a ghost attempting
to negotiate a world i don't live in anymore.
you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
