Today I got paid an obscene amount of money to do the following:

• Hand out cards to clients to track service speed. Most of this time was spent either doodling or conjugating.
• Arrange tables and swivel chairs for a meeting, then put away.
• Copy and paste the charts from yesterday into one main document.
• Print half a dozen documents and staple.
• Make minor spelling corrections to a page-and-a-half document
  
• Read Pratchett.
• Waste time on the internet.

I wish this week would never end. On Monday it's back to data entry, stats log sheets, and half hour lunches. Next year I must get a job with that department.

There was a courier yesterday with what looked like plastic cleats on, sans the shoe part. More bemusing was the fact that he appeared to have tread marks from a bike on his lower calf. Still, very nice legs. (What? It was a slow day.)

Went to a buffet with the little sister and went omnomnom for an hour or so. It was very nice, especially since there was maki of the salmon variety! And lots and lots of lovely shrimp! And mussels, and General Tso's chicken, and wonton soup, and crab legs, and many other things worthy of omnomnoming.

Also found mum some used copies for 4 of the first 5 books of the Belgariad. She really liked the series, and used to own the whole thing, but apparently lost it when we moved.

One of her co-workers has a daughter who goes to Mac. Said daughter was volunteering in mum's classroom for the past few weeks, since she is considering going into teaching. She's just got a room in a new house--the owner takes over on Canada Day--and there are five or six other rooms available. Mum got the guy's number, and now I have an appointment for the 5th.

And I have a bunch of new folks from the friendolocalypse.  Wooo!
