commuter meeting

 there was another dial-in meeting in the morning, this time it was about commuter issues related to the move to a downtown office. i will choose the metro-pass and it will be comparable to when i was taking the bus to work at a former job, this time i would be taking the light rail. early next month we can register for the passes, and i like how the bank subsidizes nearly half of the cost. there was a spike in volume in one of the PDF files, the one at midday, well over a thousand checks. i have seen this happen before, where i call it the 'california factor' as most of the checks have a zip code starting with a 9. and most of them speak of a 'quarterly contract payment' or a rebate. for this reason, i decided that just over a thousand checks from a fargo file can wait a day to be sent out. i still sent out four mail tubs at the end of the day. another notable thing about the day was some 'twos'. i bought two bags of chips from a vending machine in a laundromat near my home, as the one at work needed to be fixed. i still saw a refund request posted on it. smaller bags than at work but cheaper as well. the other was booking two meetup events, one of them a micro-brewery and the other a picnic. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when elon musk was a guest star when the friends went to volunteer at a soup kitchen on turkey day. it was followed by the one where leonard gets contacts because he is dating priya, and sheldon can't figure out howard's card trick.
