I had some time to get the SIM card replaced in my phone yesterday, but it doesn't seem to have made any dramatic improvement. When I was at the store, the clerk pointed out that I had several updates yet to be installed, but I still can't update the phone system software itself yet. Searching on the error code shows no consistent answer for how it can be fixed, and that some people simply can't get past it at all.

The test question project had me put in six hours of extra work off ...

To Do. Dental appointment, resolve issue on pay check for missing pre load, pay cable bill because I couldn't do so while their system was down, cancel Zipbox payments.

I made a three hour extra route run today, and it was the first time that I had finally had a confluence of availability outside of the job as well as having the route not give me a ton of extra work on the day. The volume for the standard route was light and there was few returns. On the subject of the standard route, ...

Since it's clear that my current work schedule takes up enough of my time and energy that I can't indulge in the luxury of playing this game every single day, and that I've had several lapses in my daily score postings, I've resolved to do what's second best for the future in that I'll just make one post per week to collect any plays that I've accumulated in that timeframe. I've thought about doing this for a while but never really felt compelled to change anything until now.

Listen. ...

Today was definitely dryer than yesterday, but unfortunately my shoes were still damp, so that didn't exactly help matters. I also came to realize that I needed to buy an extra layer of clothing to better handle the low temperature of the night. I probably would have been fine in two T shirts while working in the trailer itself, but driving in the weather with the door being unable to make a tight seal when closed was enough to make it uncomfortable for me. I guess somehow between making that walk ...

Wet, cold, and miserable was the start to my work day. It was bad enough that I let myself be bilked out of $50 so that I could get a hammer, crowbar, and a can of penetrating oil to liberate the lift gate pin because said items weren't available at the home base. On one hand, I could have left the items there at the end of the day and be reimbursed - but on the other hand, I may not necessarily be able to access those items the next time I need them, so I chose to eat the cost. At least once I ...

Can someone please tell me why my commute home was fifty minutes today? Why are there more construction projects popping up on these side streets now? Isn't that what the summer is for? At least the actual process of the route run today was fine. I even left a half hour late and still made it back at scheduled time. The new key ring helps, and I wish I would have thought of doing something like it on my first day.

I played some songs. They were basically OK.

Lunar Beat. ...

I spent the weekend on a special project which required me to do some research of tax rules and laws, and that had me revisit pages which I had seen years ago as I studied to take the SEE myself. The project organizer has been rather lenient and accommodating to my limited availability, despite my attempt to excuse myself from it beforehand after coming to realize the timeframe at stake. I hope it's all good enough for them to work with, or at very least, good enough for them to justify paying me ...
