Things! (dong xi)
I might attempt to put all or part of this entry in chinese (pinyin, anyway) ...
Firstly, I called Comcast yesterday about that invoice. The customer service phone monkey said that was invoiced before I called to cancel and that I should ignore it. She also said that I have a $3.42 credit on the account that they'll refund to me. She kept running the words together and slurring them a bit though, so it took a few iterations of that statement before I got it.
Second, today, the last day of my 30 Day grace period for expired vehicle registration, was an example of efficiency. I ready barely two pages of Nuklear Age before my car was done being tested at the emissions center. Barely a page read before my number was called at the DMV. I, on the other hand, was a little less than efficient. I forgot to grab the registration card from home before I went to class, so between the CEC and the DMV I had to detour home. Then, when I got to the courthouse, and walked up the flight of stairs to the DMV office on the second floor, I read a sign saying that I need proof of insurance to renew my registration. Of course, I didn't have it with me then. I walked back down to the car and, joy of joys, the current insurance card was in the glove box, so at least I didn't have to drive back home again.
That done, I went to Sears to get a new mower. *joy!* A Craftsman 22" 6.5 horsepower mulching / side discharge mower. Of course, when I got it home, I had to play with my new toy.. ;) It made pretty short work of the front and side lawns, and cut a decent path through the 3-4 foot high grass in the backyard. Yeah... I haven't mowed the backyard at all this year... nor most of last year... I'll cut it down on Saturday though.
I also cleaned out my car this afternoon. It's been needing that for quite a while ...
Also, I don't feel like translating this, so nya :P
