About Last Week

  • One evening we decided to go to my favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner, but it was closed when we got there. As in permanently closed. Apparently the owner hadn’t bothered to pay his taxes and the government seized the property. Wow. Fortunately Google was able to point us to another Mexican restaurant in the area. The food there was fantastic. The restaurant itself was far too busy and loud for my tastes, so I doubt we’ll ever eat there again, but I would totally get take-out. In the same general area there were some other restaurants that looked interesting. We may have give those a try someday, too.
  • At work the new schedule finally came out. My part of the schedule was little changed except that I’d lost some time previously allotted to documentation. The final project assigned to me was still slated to end in September. Meanwhile, several other people’s schedules had been extended into 2027. I wasn’t sure if I could read anything into that, but for a moment I got a little teary-eyed thinking that it might really be the end. I sent an e-mail to my boss asking if I ought to be concerned, and I later found out that one of my coworkers had done exactly the same thing at the same time (her schedule ended in November). We were both told that our schedules would be extended soon. Whew.
  • It doesn’t take much to make me smile or laugh these days. It could be anything from the sight of violets in yard to a video of Obama and Mamdami singing to children. Still, if I’m honest, there don’t seem to be enough smiles to make up for all the awful crap going on in the world.
