Do-overs

Drove to Redwood City, which was actually a tad bit closer than Portola Valley, and tried the real lobster shack there. Much better setup, larger staff, but they also managed to overcook the lobster. I took most of the tail home, will puree it and add it to a seafood spread I have in the fridge. It took 20 minutes from ordering to delivery, which I think is a bit long. I'm done with them. From now on I'll get my lobster at Chinese seafood places.

Work was dead boring today, the only thing that saved me was being asked to re-run a bug test on a slightly earlier build. I also left it running overnight on the other product's latest build.

Plans for tomorrow:
Work
Visit a friend in the neighborhood if I can get her on the phone during the day.

Happy Ending

The day was pretty mundane. Only ran one test, we've kind of run out of ones I have the equipment for. Did a lot of ad hoc stuff. Marketing decided not to stop the show for the showstopper I found a couple of weeks ago.

Lunch was at a Korean buffet called China China, which has Korean, Chinese and American food as well as a very limited range of sushi. Cake & softserve for dessert. There was a floor show today, three women literally fighting to pay the check. There was a 4th who staid out of it, she was very pregnant. The hostess came over after the dust settled and said usually people just chip in their share, which is real easy for a flat-rate buffet.

Found the masseuse who worked in my apartment complex and got an appointment for this evening. She was amazing. Pretty, too. She asked about the brewery across the street, and wanted to know what they called that load of bubbles at the top of a glass of beer. Apparently she has only ever had beer from a bottle. I gave her my card and told her if she got drunk there to call me and I would carry her home. I did not say whose home.

Spent more $$. Bought some more X10 wireless controllers and adapters - the new place is more spread out than the townhouse, it needs more switches and lamps. Also got a battery charger for the android phone. And the cheapest of the Kindle Touch models. The keyboard version is awkward, I'm always hitting the page buttons by mistake. I'll sell it on eBay, along with a new one which has been sitting on a shelf. Meant to sell it weeks ago.

Plans for tomorrow:
Kaiser for fasting blood test, blood pressure check and group physical therapy class for my knee. Then work.
