• Brain Drain

  I have written a funny (at least to me) post, but it requires editing and formatting that cannot be done on a mobile device. I don’t think I should blog from the desk of my new place of employment, and I have yet to muster the quiet alone time to fire up the old laptop at home. And so you must wait for that one.

  I missed an appointment at work yesterday. Found myself at my desk right on time, which seemed good until I realized my appointment was about 3 miles from home – the place I had driven away from 30 minutes prior. Ugh. Home and work calendar sync has now been activated.

  During my commute, I’ve been listening to audiobooks borrowed digitally from the library. The first one was delightful, and was a YA book recommended by an NPR writer I follow. The experience was so pleasant that it made me think YA audiobooks would be a good genre in general. The current listen is quickly shooting down that theory. I feel like I’m driving a bunch of whiney teens to work with me every day. And who needs that?

  “Special” things needed for school in the next week: 2 bags of tootsie rolls for a children’s engineering project, giant tub of Greek yogurt for a cultural food tasting, mismatched socks, necktie, completed mobile for book report, costume to dress up like a vocabulary word, toga for class play, pajamas, extra snacks for testing, and a “special” drink. Do you think they mean a margarita for mom?

  Good thing the electronic calendars are working together to save my brain space for all these important tasks, eh?
