Woo adventures.
At some point during the last 2 weeks or so, I:
-Went to San Francisco. Had both a horrible and an overpriced/underwhelming Chinese food experience plus froze my ass off and had way too much caffeine the first night. Had actually good dim sum, drenched Mira with a huge wave at Ocean Beach, had overpriced tea at the Japanese Tea Garden, and drove through an hour of rush hour traffic to get to 7 pound sandwiches in a liquor store in the Mission the second day. Mira does not travel terribly well. Anthony Bourdain fans: the salt and pepper crab at R&G Lounge is not worth $38; the Cuban sandwich at That's It lives up to the hype.
-Bought a used baby bike trailer and tried it out at Squaw Valley. It sort of sucks when the front tire of the bike you're riding has a leak and you didn't bring a spare tube. The river was nice, except for the really touristy places by the raft/tube rental spots.
-Got a really dumb traffic ticket for running a stop sign. The policewoman said that I was white, had a red car, and that there was medium traffic (for the record, I'm Asian, with a gray car, and it was 3 PM on a Saturday in the suburbs, ie not busy at all). Totally going to fight it.
Today, I:
-Joined a union. That people get treated so badly so consistently is ridiculous. And the "other union" seems content giving out free lunchboxes and calling things good. And this got validated when I...
-Got disciplined at work because my travel bill (for last month's jaunt to SLC) was sent to the wrong house, which made my slightly late paying. Said discipline will be put in my folder for 2 years, before it gets put into some unmentionable other file to dangle over our heads indefinitely. Which made me all the more pumped up for a...
-Job interview! I think I did pretty well. It's for a second job with the Washoe County Court system. The idea is that I'd interview arrested people and see if they should be released until their trial. We'll see how that goes.
Meanwhile, Mira:
-Said her first word: "mama." I guess it should be a consolation that she only says it when she's pissed off.
-Decided verbally that fancy restaurants were not for her.
-Got shots. And subsequently got a fever. It may be my imagination, but I think she got fever dreams that made her freaked out about staying sleep for the next couple days.
-Is days away from crawling. Her legs have always been buff, but her arms haven't been able to hold her up until now. All she has to do is get a little arm-leg coordination and the baby-proofing headache will begin.
The one thing that will always be a constant in my life is that I will never get enough sleep as I want or need.
