It’s 60 degrees, sunny and clear enough to see Mt. Rainier, the Olympics and the Cascades from Seattle today! Glorious!
In sadder news, Boo got a boo-boo and is acting like a big fat baby:
In still more news, this is the line at the Bellevue Department of Licensing at 8:15 this morning, 15 minutes before they even opened! There were already hundreds of people in line.
The wait inside for an enhanced driver’s license for Aleks and Kat was another 1 -2 hours! A word to the wise: if you have to go to the DOL… well, geeze – I have no advice because we did get there way early, and we still encountered a helluva wait! There has to be a better way to get the stuff accomplished…
And the last item in my potpourri-post: my Microsoft v-dash conveniently expired a week before my tenure at Microsoft will expire, next Friday. (A v-dash identity is connected to a specific sponsored project at Microsoft, not to the agency for whom you work.)
This means that I can no longer get into any buildings on campus without an escort, that I can’t access the internal Microsoft network, and that I can’t take Puget Sound public transportation anywhere for free. (That one hurts… even if I never used it.) Maybe next week I’ll write a post on things I’ll miss about Microsoft and things I won’t miss so much. There are, in fact, items in each category.
Your v-dash badge gets you free bus transportation? How? I know it used to, but I thought that benefit dried up 5 or 6 years ago. My v-dash badge never got me on a bus but maybe it's because I quit trying when the new rules went into effect. Hmmm. I am off to do some research!
ReplyDelete(and you think no one reads to the bottom... hehnehe and congrats on your new job)
omg, you are exactly right!!! I just signed up and now all I have to do is go to a receptionist and pick up the card! And just yesterday, I added $20 to my Orca card. Oh well, never again. Thank you! Now I can't wait to read about the other things you miss - I need to see if I'm missing anything else!
ReplyDeletecrocusses are always very early, don't they always pop-up when we still think it's winter? stubborness appearing from through a layer of snow?
ReplyDeleteBoo is hilarious! I want to hug that cat.
What's that driver's licence line for? what a mess
