Day 280: I got to work and the elevator was locked out, so I couldn’t get to my floor until someone from Facilities happened by and could key me up. Then I got to my office and realized that I’d forgotten to bring my computer in with me this morning, so I had to turn right around and drive home and back before I could start my work day. After all that, I think my mug might be mocking me.

Year 50 Day 279
Day 279: While seeing my wife off to work this morning, she needed a place to put her scarf as she was putting her coat on, and I was apparently conveniently placed.

The sixth (and last) of this year’s Philip K. Dick Award nominees. No review, because I’m the award ceremony coordinator. I’m not remotely involved with selecting nominees or winners, just making sure the ceremony goes as it should, but it’s best to keep my reviews to myself.
Year 50 Day 278
Day 278: After a night out at the club, a slow day is in order. Slept in, had breakfast, took a nap, ran a couple errands and took care of laundry, watched a movie, and then dinner and dumb TV while doing Norwescon work before heading to bed. Not bad at all.
Year 50 Day 277
Day 277: Back out at the Merc for Caturday! Love this goofball mix of goth, retro, and just plain silly. Just danced to a mashup of Aqua’s “Barbie Girl” and CeCe Peniston’s “Finally” that I am definitely going to have to track down. And then Utah Saints’ “Something Good”, which I haven’t heard on a dance floor in ages. Such a good night!
Year 50 Day 276
Day 276: It’s the end of the week! And…that’s all I’m coming up with for tonight.
Year 50 Day 275
Day 275: New glasses! The prescription’s a little wonky, but I think I can make it work.
Year 50 Day 274
Day 274: Noticed this wall of glass bricks on my way out from having lunch with my wife in her office. A pseudo-sequel to last week’s shot from the optometrist’s office, I guess?
Year 50 Day 273
Day 273: We knew a couple later days were coming, so we escaped from work a little early while the sun was still up! Then sat through an unusually long slog home that took almost twice as long as usual. Ah, well.
Year 50 Day 272
Day 272: When I’m at work (and the weather isn’t crap), it’s pretty easy to go wandering around the campus occasionally. On my work from home days, I have a tendency to get a little sedentary, so today I reminded myself that we have a treadmill in the basement. Something else I need to get back in the habit of doing!
