Work is going fine, though my current impression is that management is another word for "death by meetings" and that one of the secrets to success is to work more hours. I'm a little behind due to some appointments cutting into my work time this week. One was a really dorky lunchtime house visit by an insurance underwriter guy. I waited 90 minutes for a 7 minute transaction. Oh joy.
I'm pleased to report I am still receiving no channels on my new TV - yay! The DVDs look great.
Thursday night I gave away my empty boxes and the plain newsprint and styrofoam (and faux styrofoam) peanuts to some folks one of my neighbors hooked me up with. Yay!
My realtor came by yesterday to drop off some papers, etc. I gave him a tour of my mostly unpacked house, fed him a yellow mango, and loaned him some Louis Jordan CDs. He made the appropriate appreciative noises about the mango, blanched when I told him my xeriscaping plans for the yard (he's more conventional than me, and there's some weird notion out here that for a patio to feel private, it has to have a visual barrier fairly close in), and recovered reasonably well: "in this climate, everyone should be reducing their water consumption for landscaping."
Today I went to lunch with 6 colleagues from the library - we did a road trip to a little Mexican restaurant miles and miles away. It was inside a renovated grain elevator, and the company was wonderful. I'm not used to the driving out here yet. Nor am I well versed in the Fort Collins restaurants yet. All in good time, I'm sure.
In about an hour, my high school buddy who lives in Castle Rock (about 2 hours south of here) is coming by to see the house and for dinner. Tomorrow's program is a long bike ride, unpacking, paperwork, cleaning, and hopefully working for a few hours too. ha ha ha ha ha. I crack myself up!
