Today was good enough. I got up early enough to realize that it's still pretty damn dark at 7 a.m.I can tell that the gym is going to be a source of much entertainment for me. The characters are just incredible, all kinds of people. And gym etiquette is quite different, not nearly as polite, and depending upon the person their idea of personal space can vary from stare you down 20 yards away or breathe on you and when you ask "would you like this equipment?" they walk away. I dunno. I just laugh.
Work was hectic today, but pretty productive. I already mentioned my adventures with food. The office was also completely abuzz with the inauguration, and the atrium was filled to capacity (and then some) for the actual oath and speech. An awesome moment to say the least.
I got a free Blogger (weird, I'm writing on the Blogger product right now ...) sweatshirt instead of having to buy one. The Mobile engineering admin rules. 2 days in a row of free stuff from coworkers.
I ran out afterward to try and procure a ticket for the Seasick Steve show next Saturday, but found out the printing machine was broken. Another errand for tomorrow now.
The cleaning lady comes tomorrow, Rose, who speaks Portuguese and no English. Apparently the situation has always worked out before. A cleaning lady? I have never had one of those. Another first for me.
I think it's time for a bottle of Obama wine. I'm very happy that twist-top wine bottles are OK here.
