so yesterday i worked.

that's not par for the course, usually i get thursdays and saturdays every week, and i didn't really plan to work yesterday, but sometime in september i got a phone call asking if i would be a member of some commitee whose meeting was yesterday. i sort of feel like a sucker, not really because i said yes, because i don't mind doing it at all, but when i was recruited for this whole thing, they told me the meeting started at ten, but neglected to tell me that the whole thing would last til sometime near four. if i'd known that i'd be there that long, i likely wouldn't have gone in on friday.

it's all good though, i got to drive to pasadena, which is a place i'd never been before and i met some neat people which is always cool. i try to avoid driving on the freeways around here, which is generally the way to go because the traffic is, nearly without exception, atrocious, but yesterday wasn't so bad. in the fourteen months or so that i've been here, i can count the number of times i've driven on the freeways on both hands, it's nice. the route wasn't especially scenic, i mean unless you like the view of railyards from overpasses, then you'd probably think it's rather picturesque, just not my cup of tea though.

on an unrelated note, i need a beanie.
