Not Barbara Kingsolvers newish book, that I am trying to read, but instead, a hole or gap in my day. That started with a 7:30 a.m. Co-op meeting – we looked at the audit report, which was actually a lot more interesting than it sounds. I actually wish the regular BoD meetings could be more like this finance committee meeting was. We had to go sign some papers in front of a notary, after – the application for the co-op’s liquor license for the new store on the other side of town. I misunderstood about what credit union the notary was at, so I drove, but I could’ve biked. Still, I used the opportunity to get the old eMac brought to work – I drove into the parking garage under my office, and got a cart to get the computer up the 4th floor. The IT guys think they might have a use for it, and if not they’ll send it to the university’s surplus. I didn’t want to pay to park, so I headed over to the ramp where I have a permit, but I couldn’t find my hangtag pass, at least in traffic, so I went to a city ramp instead. We just got our new passes – the parking year is September thru August – so I was afraid I accidentally tossed the new one in the trash or recycle along with the old one.
John came up from Milwaukee to take his broken computer to DoIT. Here’s the gap. We got coffee at the Peet’s in the Union, then we had to circle computer science for awhile to find a parking spot. Dropped that computer, and went home to get my new iMac to loan to John. It took the two of us – both college graduates – 20 minutes, and we had to watch a YouTube movie to figure out how to get that iMac back into the box.
Packed up hummus & pita & tabouli & leftover pizza for John (and some hummus for my lunch), then I had him drop me at the parking ramp, and he headed back to Milwaukee. And the parking pass was hiding in the pocket on the side of the door behind a big wad of napkins. John texted me while he was setting up the iMac, and now I think he’s gonna want to keep it.
I was gone from work from 11:30 to almost 1:00. And stayed till 5:40. And it was too late to do the bank deposit that I couldn’t do at 12:50, because the line was too long. And the city ramp cost $10.00. So it seemed like a good idea to start a batch of veggie broth, then bike to the church to vote, and pick up an order of Pad Thai for dinner. Even though I couldn’t mail the check to my CSA because I forgot to put a stamp on it, and I still couldn’t do the bank deposit.
