Week in Review
It has definitely been an exciting week.
Thursday
The day everyone got the news about evil_dwagon . Quiet day. Went to a small gathering with zotcoon , cubstatik , nonamecub , zotter , ferrel , and grau. Crashed the night up there and commuted to work the next morning.
Saturday
Attempted to take my bike up to SLO to visit panth but that was cut short about 180mi into the trip when I dropped the bike. Broke the shifter peg, so was unable to really do anything except be in 1st gear. None of the gas stations in the area had duct tape so I called Kit and he ferried up duct tape and nailclippers, and we went to his place.
En route back, apparently my rear seat cowel came unlatched at some point. It popped off and landed somewhere on the 405S. Kit, who was trailing behind me didn't notice either. But, whatever, not that big of a part to replace. What was, was the windows mobile phone (HTC Titan/Sprint Mogul) that vanished between getting on the bike, and getting to Kit's. The cowel was recovered on an onramp by LAX.
[Duct tape and nail clippers -- good as new]
We ordered pizza upon getting to his place, and called it a night.
Sunday
Went to the shop in the morning where we put in a proper shifter, and got me a temporary cell phone to make calls on, since I would still be on the road for a good while. I went back up to LAX where I lost the cowel and phone, and looked around some more. No luck on the phone. :\ My plans for the weekend were terribly delayed, and unable to make it to SLO on Thurs, Fri, or Sat, kinda made it moot to try. Went home without incident.
Monday
Another day at work. Had a job phone interview in the morning that went very well. Let's see how things go.
Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday
Uneventful days. Work, commute after work to Riverside County, return. Bought myself a new phone, and still need to reflash it, and start collecting all the phone numbers of people I talk to. This may take a while, but it's slowly rebuilding. The problem is all the people I only knew in person/SMS and never once got any email/IM/other internet means of talking to.
Put in my notice at work. Last day here is Friday the 6th.
