Super busy day. Full appointment schedule, a couple of work ups. We were a paragon of efficiency and it looked like I was going to get out in time to make the early train.
Then I was reminded we have a meeting at 5:30. Oh that's so annoying. Its 3:59pm here in LA. My day is wrapped up and I get to sit around and wait 1.5 more hours for this meeting, then not be able to make any kind of reasonable train, then delve into the heart of darkness that is LA rush hour, and at that time of day have my drive take me an hour.
Done at 4pm and I won't get home until 7:30.
On the bright side, I had an interesting day and I rode my bike already and business is good. And I'm picking up a seizuring Beagle puppy from the emergency service tomorrow. That thing is cute as stink.

I dislike crowds.
I dislike live music.
I dislike loud music.
I dislike loud, live music.
I dislike a bunch of drunks.
I dislike trying to decide which of several obnoxious bands to listen to at any one time.
And most of all, I can't stand jazz, not that there is much of that anymore at Jazz Fest.
But hey, besides all that, I hear it is really a fun time.

It is a target-rich environment.

Also, we have a new resident at work. Every time Dr. Jones (real name) walks in, all I hear is:

Hometown sentimentality and childhood friends are all there is. We eat that well wherever we are. In truth the place is a ****hole.

Jiminy Christmas, my new job has a parking garage that costs $135/month! My start time at 11 AM means I probably won't have any street parking options. Guess I really do need to invest in a commuter bike. There's a downstairs gym with showers and lockers that we have access to. The actual ride wouldn't take more than 20-25 minutes.

Friend and former team mate passed suddenly over the weekend. Brain aneurysm I guess. Not a close friend, but someone I knew and enjoyed being around and someone that was way to young for this.
Carpe diem.

Ah, Herbie, that's a bummer. Sorry to hear it.

Only one oboe, too. And currently just four percussionists, who attend irregularly. It's lacking balance.
