High noon...

...as I write this.

Napping didn't work out yesterday, so I hied myself down to my office and spent some time doing invoices. While doing them, I was disappointed to see such small numbers coming up at the bottom of the sheet (at least, in the context of how hard I worked the past four days), but once the dust had settled and I looked at all three invoices, it actually came out to be a pretty reasonable sum.

I even got my travel expenses filed. Hooray!

I don't know why, but something is driving me to continue to clean the office. The floor is now cleared and vacuumed, though besides my desk, which is currently clutter-free, virtually every other horizontal surface has at least a foot of stuff on it. I just have to apply myself a little at a time.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation encourages all to submit comments regarding the bill introduced by Fritz Hollings (D-Disney) and cosponsored, among others, by Diane Feinstein (D-Hollywood). Every time I try to write something, it comes out all in a blather... I can't seem to stay on course to make any one single point. Part of it is realizing that politicians aren't terribly interested in principles, or the long term, or what is best for the country (that stuff's that's only useful in the speeches that are dished out to the suckers voters). They are interested in staying in office (hence the frenzy to raise soft money now, before the recently passed campaign "reform" law takes effect) and pleasing their paying constituents . (See how easy it is for me to go off on a tangent?)

Lee arrives tomorrow at the Albuquerque airport. Galina will be going down to pick her up, which means it'll be me and Drew at the store for much of the day. On the one hand, I'm really looking forward to seeing her; on the other, she's been distant lately (or so it seems), so it's hard to tell if the feeling is mutual (i.e., to what extent does she really want to be here, or is it only to see the niece and Sasha?).

Just got a call a couple of minutes ago to see if I'm willing to telecon with the same bunch I worked with last week. Sure, I said, so now I'm expecting a fax with all the details. I think I'll go drop by the Radio Shack later today and see what they have in terms of a wearable headset (or something to let me listen hands-free).

In the meantime... it's off to work!

Cheers...
