A Continuation of Yesterday

I forgot some bullet points yesterday that I didn't remember until I was sitting in my cubicle adding up late VSA hours.

• I think the disabled veteran that spends his time at the corner of Beaubien and the Ford service drive is starting to recognize my car. The blue alone stands out anywhere and when he sees it pass three days a week, I think he can put it together. This makes my guilt skyrocket. I'll have to change this. And soon.
• There were people in speedboats racing down the River on Saturday. I have long concluded that most boaters on Lake St Clair are a bunch of drunken idiots (this is proven, not an opinion). But these boats were lifting so far out of the water and rocking back and forth in the wind they were creating that I thought they were going to flip over. Seriously. I had my hand on my cell phone. Not only did it make me realize that that is one huge reason why I don't like boats, but it was scary to watch. They were going way too fast and I still don't know why people thinking drinking in a boat is any different than drinking in a car. Then I saw a family out in a sailboat, really close to the shore that was just out for a cruise on Sunday. Mix the racing idiots with that type of sailboat, the combination could be deadly, and it would be the family that would be the most damaged. There is no justice in this world.

I'll keep going with the bullets, since I'm on a roll:

• I spent my day yesterday fixing the computer/register we use at the main door to the museum. Fixed the new prices, deleted all the old City stuff, and changed the colors. Now the screensaver is off the dreaded blue and yellow and changed to maroon and silver - which is more museum friendly. The paint on the outside is maroon and silver is softer on the eyes than white. :) And I was able to skate out right at 4 with all my work done. I have Monday off, obviously for the holiday, but I'm reporting in on Tuesday to stay on top of the work load.
• I got my first phone call about youth volunteers yesterday. A woman called from a high school in Allen Park and wanted to know if someone from the museum would be able to sit at a table during a service fair in late September. I'm awaiting approval from the big boss. We'll see. I was excited - now when I get my business card, the part about youth volunteer coordinator will be true. ha!
• When I opened my myspace last night, I got a rather interesting message. It's nice that the courtesy was passed on to me, but as no extraordinary measures were put forth, I took it as such and passed. It wasn't easy, but I don't think I need to feel as guilty as I did for a time last night. As time moves on, the invitations will stop coming and the feeling bad because I can't help will cease. Eventually.

I think that's it for now. It feels so weird not having anything to do today. Almost like I'm forgetting to do something, but my planner is empty, so I know I'm not. And since it's so gloomy outside, I might either spend the day reading or finishing up House. I'm down to one more disc. :) Season premiere next Tuesday. I'm excited. I also have to set my dvr.
