Just finished up 4 scene critiques for the writers workshop. Professor Gunn has us working on "setting" this week. I think I have two more critiques to write, but those scenes haven’t been submitted yet so there’s not much I can do.
Very productive day at work today. My Universal Importer for the Big Application we’ve been working on for the last year got it’s first trial run and was successful, which made me happy. I spent all morning on it. It was one of those days where I got into the office, disappeared in code, and when I came up for air it was 12:30. I had to interview someone this afternoon, and then it was back to work on the Universal Importer. I headed home around 4 PM.
Comcast called me early this afternoon. They wanted to see if they could troubleshoot my phone problems now, rather than have me wait for a technician on Monday. "Monday?" I said, "I was told he was coming today between 3 and 6 PM." Turns out, when the Comcast rep said, "Tomorrow between 3 and 6," she meant "Monday between 3 and 6". They called me back around 4:30 to do some troubleshooting. They were going to remotely reset the modem or something. They also told me that the phone number we’d been assigned was never "registered", whatever that means. In any event, they solved half the problem. I was able to make an outgoing call from the house phone tonight, but still not able to receive an incoming call. So the Comcast tech will come on Monday.
Did some banking today, depositing various checks. When I got home from work I found our engagement pictures on a CD in our mailbox. There are 91 pictures, many of which came out really good. Especially the pictures of Kelly. At some point, we’ll make some of them available. I also had a message from the concierge that they had a package for me. I walked over there and would you believe they couldn’t find it. They were very apologetic and asked me to come back tomorrow–they’d have it all sorted out. Stay-tuned.
Paid the credit card bill and that means the honeymoon is paid for in full now.
Spoke to Mom briefly this evening. Also spoke to vickyandnorm. I did laundry when I got home from work. It was my first time using out washer and dryer. Kelly likes doing laundry, but I badgered her into letting me do some today. She made us scrambled eggs with mushrooms, peppers, and cheese for dinner. High protein. We headed to the gym around 8:30 and I got in a decent chest and back workout.
I’m 172 pages through Rainbows End and it’s slow going simply because there isn’t enough time in the day. Tomorrow we’ve got Poker Night; Saturday is the Think Tank softball tournament (if it doesn’t rain), and on Sunday we’re planning on wrapping up what’s left of our wedding to-do lists.
And if that isn’t enough, when I checked to see if Dad’s tux had been added to the list tonight, I discovered that it had–except they spelled his first name "Dan". This is remarkable only because I spelled out his name when I called to have him added. I’ll get it changed on Sunday when I go in to get fitted.
To shower and to bed…
Happy Birthday, Casey!
