I just got home from work. I was planning on going back to the house to put away the trash bins but it was too late to drive an hour round-trip. I'm still short-staffed and work is piling up since it's quarter end. I spent all afternoon and evening struggling with an Access database that I create last summer to calculate third-party royalty payments. I guess when you step back, the whole process is quite meaningless. We pay millions of dollars in royalties each quarter which we use in part to make millions more. I know all this impacts people's lives, including mine since I get a paycheck, but it just seems so detached from actually accomplishing anything of significance.
Maybe I'm just depressed now that I have no goals in life. It's been five or six weeks since I moved here and I still haven't put stuff away. It's just easier to step over stuff than to plan on where to store everything. I was going to look at some work stuff but I think I'll eat some ice cream and go to sleep.
The ogura (red bean) ice cream is really good; not so sure about the green tea one
Sigh... the rain is starting up again, this time with thunder. I hope my BBQ outside on the patio doesn't rust.

Oh, I got a coupon for a free Jamba Juice smoothie in the mail today. It was addressed to resident. Something unexpected and good for once.

Hi Tony
With regards to the person we talked about that you were trying to google:
I worked with her in 2002-2004; she was part of a student-senate committee called the International Student's Assembly. I was the PR Chairperson. From a professional standpoint, she is a very dedicated and reliable worker and puts work before personal matters.
I hope that whatever you read on my blog, that being personal, will not have any effect on your decision to interview her. If required, you can contact me for a professional reference.
Thank you.
