picking up the pace

wombat_sochoSo things are picking up a little with work. Had two phone appointments, a dropoff (which weirdly didn't have any documents attached) and a fulfillment return that was missing a few things. One of the phone returns closed out, but the other one has 1098T and related expenses to upload, but at least that one will be done tomorrow. I wound up putting in about 3.5 hours on the clock, which brings me up to a little over ten hours, which is what I did for the entire last pay period. A lot of the additional work is coming from some office in Carson City that I never heard of before, on the other end of 395 from where I was staying. Apparently one of their two tax pros is in the hospital, so I get to ride to the (virtual) rescue.
I was busy enough with work that I forgot I had a series against the Red Sox. Robot Ted Williams dropped 2 out of three; the only win went to Reggie Cleveland in relief in game 2.
Finally pulled the plug on the latest e-thot attempting to scam me out of money after she had an online meltdown over a $100 gift card. Too much weird evasive shit, and the capper was some GChat from her "aunt". It finally occurred to me to run some of the pics through Google's image search, and sure enough the images were of porn star Gia Paige, who I'm sure is not living in Bishop or interested in having my kids...or in need of a $300 gift card. So far the card has been unusable at Raley's or Amazon, but I'm going to try a couple places tomorrow and hope for the best. If it still doesn't work, I'll call them to replace the card and see how that goes.
It snowed a little today, which was weird because it was in the high 50s yesterday. I went out to Raley's and spent about $70 on various things but managed to forget baking powder. With the exception of a Diet Coke and some Liquid Death ice tea, everything I got was on sale or had a coupon, or it would have been worse.
Finally won an Ice Age scenario in Civicrack, with the Germans, but it was close and Gandhi nearly beat me on points. Am now trying to win with Haile Selassie, and am about to push the Huns' shit in by way of revenge for their futile attempt to take Adwa.
Barb reassured me that I would get reimbursed for a hotel room in Beatty for the April 17 meeting, so I hopped on Priceline and booked a room at the Exchange Club next to Smokin' Js, where I plan to feast on barbecue after checking in but before the meeting. On the way back, I'll stop in Goldfield and see what I can find that's pertinent to the Coaldale Project. I have a Five W's document written up about that, but I want to flesh it out with more details before I send it off to Doug.
