morning donut

 early in the workday my boss arrived and asked if i wanted a donut from hy-vee. i said i wasn't too picky and would choose from what was available. i was given a sugary glazed donut in a little bag when he returned. since it was the first day back after 4 days off, it took a little while to get caught up on things. there was some mail left behind in the mailroom and i needed to use a scissors to cut off the zip tie from the previous day's tub. i was told a tech was there to work on the envelope stuffer. and there was a meeting invite for my performance evaluation that will be on thursday. once caught up i sent a christmas card to the nearby post office, for my late classmate's wife and son in des moines. after lunch i went to walgreen and got some discounted christmas candy. much like earlier visits most of what i chose was discounted but not all. from the fargo files there is two stacks of checks to run through, as those files arrived later than typical. in the evening i watched a celebrity edition of 'jeopardy' on ABC, 'the conners' wasn't on. it was on for a full hour, so three rounds before the final one, where the answer was eiffel tower, at one point the world's tallest building. still not a big fan of celebrity editions of game shows when they are guaranteed a certain amount for their charity, and the contestants are more likely to goof off. and i watched part of the holiday bowl on Fox, oregon rallied to beat north carolina. i had attended the 2006 edition of this bowl. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 3 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when sheldon and amy went on a scavenger hunt about a re-gifted wedding gift. it was followed by the one where penny told her friends to take their sheldon back after he tried to sabotage their work on an app.
