I arrive at work only 6 minutes late - no small achievement, since I have
averaged 20 minutes late for the past two months. I attribute it to
early to bed,
a spot of exercise before sleep, and
coffee-on-a-timer waiting for me when I woke. My car's
windshield was glazed with
frost when I started
my "commute", but the day was
warm and lovely.
Ms. A.- is
on the prowl for a job
closer to home. I would be the natural candidate for her position, so I am pleased. We had lunch, my first
sushi experience, at
Osaka in
Fairfield, NJ. I had
unagi, which is cooked because
eels are very
slimy raw; but I tried some of her
raw salmon. Not bad, I didn't have to
spit it out.
It didn't taste much, but talk about
tender!
Before I went
home, I stopped in on the
DMV office to get a replacement
license plate sticker.
"I'm not really stupid or spastic", I said to the clerk at the counter (who incidentally
browbeat me when I was there
yesterday). "-But I peeled the
sticker off the
backing, and it got stuck to the papaer, and then the adhesive wouldn't peel off the paper..." She gave me a new sticker and smiled. Maybe she had her personality
steam-cleaned sometime
between yesterday and today.
