A Week ofUps and Downs.

Well, there are good weeks and bad weeks. I guess overall the week rates as neutral.

Good:
My new bike is a Sequoia Elite. Its a lot faster than my old bike. Its a big upgrade from my old hybrid. I've outfitted it with a rack, and I'm still deciding on a bag. Since commuting by metro costs $4 a day, by the end of summer I will have saved in commuting most of the cost of the bike. Unless it rains a lot.

I got the top grade in my strategy class for the paper I wrote. Strategy is my weakest class, even if this is IT strategy.

I had a fantastic dinner Saturday night. DF and I went out to a brewpub near his work. I had Moroccan Chicken on a bed of couscous. Very good spices. And good beer.

Dogfish Head Aprihop. Very good seasonal beer.

The bad:
I lost my keys. It costs $200 per key to get my car keys replaced. It also forces me to get a new bike lock, since I now don't have the key to my BIC-able Kryptonite. I also lost the key to the storage room. Everything else I have a copy of.

Power struggle at work. I am trying to assert some level of consistency in the QA process, and getting very strong push back from everyone else.

I either have bad allergies (which I haven't had before) or a really annoying cold. Runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes. Claritin didn't help. I took the day off today and slept all afternoon.

I lost my replacement checks... then I found them 4 days later. After the check I needed to send in was late. I am undertaking a complete cleaning of my bedroom.... it needs it badly. I can't find anything.
