Back to work on Monday

My semi-mandatory spring break is winding to close. Why was it semi-mandatory? In part because I had accrued too many hours of vacation time (other Softies would do a spit take when they found out how much I had) and in part because my family was here this week.

In some ways, I’m glad to be going back to work. Playing chauffeur for your parents for a week isn’t exactly a vacation either. In fact, I was actually in the office on Thursday to perform a critical time sensitive task, and to restore some balance in my work/life balance - there was too much life.
That said, I got a whole bunch of personal chores done this week, including retinting some of my car windows, cleaning up my personal email account, cleaning up my apartment, buying some new shirts (non-Polo), and working on my written defense on a traffic ticket I got earlier this year.

I also reached 60,000 miles on my car:

That’s not a lot of miles considering I got my car on 5.7 years ago. That’s only about 10.5k miles a year. In California. I guess that shows how close I live to work - as opposed to this guy who drives 370 miles to work and back everyday!

I hope to update this blog more regularly moving forwards - let’s see if I find the time!
