what happened today (inspired by amanda’s entry):
0615 : alarm goes off. i hit the snooze button
0624 : i hit snooze button again
0630 : cell phone alarm goes off. i call amanda as usual to assist her in getting up. also as usual, the signal sucks, and i can only hear her say: “hello? hello?”
0633 : i finally turn off alarm after hitting the snooze button again
0635 : i give up trying to call amanda again as there is no signal to be had
0636 : fall asleep again
0715 : wake up and make two peanut butter and strawberry preserve sandwiches. there is little preserves to be had, and i break the bottom of the empty jar when i toss it in the sink.
0725 : feed fish. take shower.
0740 : realize that i left my bag with my clothes out in the subaru, so i walk outside sorta wrapped in towel to retrieve them. don’t know what the neighbors thought.
0750 : after getting dressed, proceeded to empty car of stuff: weights, bench, assorted exercise stuff, chairs
0830 : leave for work
0835 : realize that i forgot to turn off the ceiling fan
0837 : waste a couple of minutes debating the environmental pros and cons of turning back, then turned back
0845 : turn off fan, decide to deal with recycling
0920 : arrive at desk
0922 : hook up computer, turn it on, and let it do all the crap it has to when logging into the network because it takes forever. go to break room and brew and drink a couple of mugs of “serenity” green tea
0930 : call a few places to see if they could check out my brakes today. they cannot. decide to try to take it to a nearby place tomorrow morning as tomorrow has a freer schedule (for me anyway)
0944 : feed fish. consider putting mr. w. t. into his new tank.
0945 : work………………………………………………….

1300 : i make two more pb and j sandwiches for lunch. i get a package of pretzels from the vending machine, too. 2nd diet coke of the day
1330 : help ed get some of his stuff working because my stuff seems hopeless at the moment
1430 : 3rd diet coke of the day. someone left a bunch of trash and other crap in the break room, so i clean it up.
1600 : more green tea. i talk to dan about old computer games in the break room.
1440 : talk to don over messenger about stock stuff
1735 : amanda arrives home in buffalo; talk with her via aim
1830 : consider seeing cowboy junkies in buffalo in a couple of weeks
1910 : start weblog entry

1930 : finish weblog entry
1931 : consider dinner. decide i cannot handle more pb and j sandwiches. table dinner plans.
