Improvement.
Jun. 15th, 2007 05:38 pmPhew. Y'all. You remember what I mentioned a few entries back, about how I'm coming to realize more and more how my body chemistry kinda governs my moods? Yeah, well, it does. And I wrote up that big entry earlier before I'd had a single thing to eat today -- bad move. I did end up sending off the renewal to the Nacogdoches Co. Tax Assessor-Collector's office from a campus mailbox, but then when I got home (having eaten) and saw all the comments people left me, I decided I had better go ahead and just switch over to Ohio. So I called down to Texas and sweet-talked the lady in the office into promising me to watch out for my form and check, and to just "rip 'em up and throw 'em away" when they got there.
Now, when you're doing an out-of-state transfer it's not quite so simple as just walking up to the Title Office and getting them to wave their magic wand around -- I just faxed a formal request for document transfer to my lienholder -- but it looks like it'll be fairly smooth. The people at the BMV and the Title Office were strangely friendly and helpful, so that was nice. (I say 'strangely' because the only time I've ever dealt with a non-surly DMV/BMV clerk is when there's absolutely no one in the office, and that was emphatically not the case today.)
Then just now I called down to my eye doctor's office in Nac, and asked if they could please send me some more contacts. The lady down there wasn't supposed to -- it's been since November of '05 since I went in there, apparently -- but I asked very nicely if she could just send me a couple to tide me over until I could make a new appointment up here, and she said she would.
So today's moral is: when in doubt, eat some spicy Korean soup* and then turn on just a little bit of drawl. Works like a charm. And then read some critical literature on ballads, because you do, after all, have 15 hours of independent study over the summer.
* Champpong from Café Amelea, which just opened a couple months ago (next to Subway near High & 17th). I'm still a little leery of the place -- I mean, Korean, Chinese, and... Cajun? -- but the soup was tasty, cheap, and filling. I'll try it again and see how their other represented cuisines are :)
