Work is slow, I get wet.
Jun. 29th, 2006 12:06 amWork today was ridiculously slow. Work is very bad when it's too busy, you understand, so I'm not really wishing, per se, that it were busier, but it's quite dull when it's slow. It was slow enough today that Mandi and I actually reorganized and redecorated the pod. Yikes.
Despite the dullness of work, today was really quite good. Before I even left for work, I found out that I don't, in fact, have to appear in court! The cop had said I would (since there was a collision), but he was apparently mistaken; good thing I called. I mailed in my fine, and I also mailed in a written request to take the next defensive driving course and keep this violation off my record. Combined with setting up my insurance on the new car and making sure I get a dealer tag from Huffines Chevy-Subaru mailed to me to bridge the gap between the end of the current registration period and whenever I get my new registration (I somehow never got one day of), this means that my car is completely dealt with, insured, covered, registered, etc. What a relief!
Following work, the day only improved. Rebecca had called me earlier in the day to tell me she had bought new patio furniture, and needed to have it christened by the friendly consumption of beers. I also brought Chinese food (Mongolian Chicken! Who ever heard of that?!), so that was very nice. But I had forgotten, just plumb forgotten, that Jackie had bought a big wading pool at Target. Well, the mosquitoes kept biting our ankles, so we waded. And then it seemed feasible to just sit down in our clothes, and thus there was an impromptu pool party!
( Pictures follow )
I felt very summery tonight. I like pools, even shallow inflatable ones.
