Richard picked up one of the overhead projectors from work. We're moving. Today's the last day at the current office, and so we've been getting rid of things left and right. I went back over to pick up a pair of junker VCRs and discovered my back tire was flat. As a pancake. I discovered this coming down the stairs with the VCRs in hand. I had to take all the stuff I'd bought at the rummage sale out of the trunk and put it in the front seat to get out the spare tire. I wasn't happy. I was also supposed to meet Susan at Surdyk's at 6:00. Instead, at 6:00 I was sitting at Goodyear trying to get the tire fixed. I made it to Surdyk's by 7:05, which I thought good under the circumstances. We grabbed the first staff member who offered to help us and filled a grocery cart with wine. We perused the microbheer aisle, but they were closing before we got much more than a glance at it.

I ran off as Susan picked up the wine (it wouldn't have fit in my car -- well, probably wouldn't have fit) and ran off to Dulanno's Pizza to try and unload the box of TOTUs I've had in the car since the Saturday Inventory. It's currently sitting on top of an HP 4 printer in the passenger's seat. Eric, however, was at the Leaning Tower of Pizza. I've got to unload the car this morning, put the trunk back together and get my butt off to work.

WFC approaches rapidly. My Aunt's birthday is coming even faster.

Hmm, my home town credit union doesn't think I paid 'em for my visa card last month, and my visa card statement has paid written on it. (I've been using their 800 number lately.) Hmm

Eek! USDA/Farm Service Agence/Eddy County FSA papers. Eek! Official: "This letter is to inform you of the necessary steps you must take to enroll in the 2002 Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program (DCP).

My phone is not working here at work. We're moving anyway.

WoW, it looks as if the Bushies may have won one. Condolences to the survivors. Guess this means I'm out of the $100 I pledged the other night.

Work is shutting down the servers. Looks like a short day, even if a dour one.
