- Still feeling pretty good about my good deed I did yesterday. I was walking up to the deli counter at Schnuck’s (Union and Natural Bridge … not a good part of the town but close to my work). An elderly man was pushing his cart away when I noticed several hundred dollar bills on the ground. It has to be at least $700. I picked it up and caught up to him and gave it back. He had no clue. There were also bills laying in his cart. Knowing the area, I think I really did that guy a favor.
- A little nervous about my pork roast (making pulled pork) cooking at home right now. Results to come in a later post.
- Had a very productive condo meeting last night. I am thinking about running for a condo position. One of the biggest topics was instituting a yearly assessment ($100 to $200) to do improvements on the facility instead of raising condo fees. I am on board since the first floor renovations were well worth the money. Possibly changes discussed were (1) upgrades in the satellite wiring and dish to get HD (2) adding a key fob system to the doors instead of keys (3) relocating the gym to the basement common room and making the current space of the gym a rec room. I am definitely down with items 1 and 2. I would also like the ability to buzz people in the front door but the majority of the current residents like the added security that our current setup has.
- Wish I was much further in my papers for Power and Politics.
- I got the Product Manager job. They really made me nervous about it but they gave me the final offer today. More news to come later.
- I did not make the fantasy football playoffs. I faced opponents in my last two weeks that both put up huge numbers (some of the highest so far) so I guess it wasn’t meant to be.
