randomly

Woke up in a good mood this AM, despite having lingering sinus foo for the first time since moving back to the East Bay.

And despite the fact that my main task for the day is vacuuming, which is officially my Least Favorite Chore. On my list of things to buy once I have income again: a robotic vacuum cleaner. Seriously. Because living in the 21st century has to be good for something....

Also, Oracle interview is scheduled for Friday. Plenty of time to work up a good case of nerves ;)
(James, don't forget to send me names. Is Katie still working there? Remind me what her last name is... Am I remembering her first name correctly? etc.)

Lake Merritt wildlife sighting du jour

A raccoon. Fat, sassy, and fearless. Wading in the shallows, right there amongst the geese and seagulls, in broad daylight. Calmly ignoring the joggers and gawkers on the sidewalk above.

And BTW, how do the geese decide to all walk into the water at one time?

Also, best overheard conversation snippet of the day: "The woman he married is a devil just like him, he met his match when he married her".
