wombat_sochoWhat a day - started half an hour late since I passed up on catching the bus at the Park & Ride so that I could park the Kia at the Sprawl and take the bus to the rail station. That was a mistake - the bus took about 20 minutes to get from the MoA to Fort Snelling, and the train takes about half an hour to get downtown, so by the time I finally got in to work it was 9 AM. I explained to my boss that I'd tried something different on the way in but it hadn't worked, and fortunately she was in a good mood and laughed it off. ::whew::
This being the day before the upload file cutoff, I had a ton of files waiting for me to deal with, and they came in pretty steadily for the rest of the day. This was a Good Thing, since it meant I didn't have to try and look like I'm busy, which I am infamously bad at.
Melody took the 556 downtown and we headed out to get the truck and go grocery shopping, and were trapped on the shuttle in front of a couple of serious airheads. Plus, the transmission and brakes on the shuttle were clearly shot, and I thought either my head or my vertebrae were going to come off. We finally got to the Sprawl, retrieved the Kia, and did dinner at Baker's Square. I had soup and the Cobb Salad, and then ruined the effect with a slice of custard pie. After that, it was off to the Gander Mountain next door where I found a fishing vest in my size (3X, close enough) with a zillion pockets, which will go very well with all my T-shirts - and cost me only $13! I rule! I also spotted some hunting vests with not quite so many pockets and lots of blaze orange which I think would be awesome for the staff at next year's convention (with an "Otaku Ahead" patch covering the Gander Mountain logo) but![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
phoenixalpha violently disagrees. We'll see what everybody says. They're at least useful apparel, unlike the helmets from last year.
And then the grocery shopping - replenishing the lunch meat, yogurt, juice and bread supplies. Geez, what a bachelor pad I'm running here.
So with a couple of minor exception the day ruled greatly, but unfortunately after getting the groceries home I ran out of zap and am about ready to collapse into bed despite getting great (non-hot) chat fromchebutykin.
