Such a cool date. I entered my friend Jackie for a competition today, so the non-rational part of me hopes that submitting the entry on this date brings her luck. It's a gift-wrapping competition, one that she really should win because she does such an amazing job of wrapping presents. Jackie didn't have any photos of gifts she had wrapped in the past, and since Bruce's birthday is coming up, I volunteered his presents. Jackie gift-wrapped them, Bruce took photos of the finished products and I wrote a 100-word essay on why I am nominating Jackie. If she's selected as a finalist, she gets to fly to New York in early December for the finals (the competition organizers pay for the airfare and hotel). I hope she wins!
The weather apparently doesn't think it is Autumn yet, because although it's cool early in the morning and late at night (about 10 Celsius), temperatures are still going up into the mid-eighties (about 29 Celsius) during the day. In October!
I am now allowed to work from home two days a week! As of the coming work week, I'll be in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. That means less noise and distraction at work during the day (the people in the cubicles near mine can be really noisy sometimes) and less days on the road ... And psychologically, even though not mathematically, it makes the weekend seem longer and the week less stressful. The dogs will certainly be happy to once again be alone only three days a week.
