the loft at 50 party

 after work i went to the loft for their 50th anniversary party. there was champagne in the auditorium and i had two small glasses of it. i figured that was enough since i still wanted to drive myself home. there was plenty of finger foods in the waiting area near it. i liked seeing the deviled eggs there and had some. when i was leaving i had two fresh artisan chocolates and took four of them home for later on. i am thankful i got food before i went there as what was offered was what i expected to see. i went to the nearby bobby and steve's and got a little godfather's pizza and some tea in a bottle. i got the pizza for free as the cashier noticed it was one hour past the 'sell by' time. i wasn't complaining about that. there were some souvenirs from this event, i got a 'chap book' and some temporary tattoos, which were of the loft's older logos. i still have a magnet with one of those logos on it, the red one showing an open book. at work i was staying ahead of things pretty well and finished up earlier than typical. at the end of my lunch i got another dairy queen blizzard, peach cobbler. i can have the sixth one in the lineup some other time. most notable about the day was asking about a business line where there has been a spike in volume. i overnight all of their checks to kentucky, there are many days when there aren't any at all. but on the previous day it was eighty and today it was ninety-two, and the envelope was pretty much full. i am noticing the same payee for all of the checks, cook county treasury, which of course is chicago. i am told there will likely be one more day of high volume. in the morning i dumped envelopes from business lines we no longer have into the recycle bin, and it means some more shelf space is freed up. the final thing i did before leaving for the day was getting registered for the bus pass that will get me to work after the move downtown. it didn't take long, but i needed the notes from the meeting to know where i could get it done online. it was in the same section where one does other elections such as 401-k contributions. after the event i went to hy-vee in eagan for groceries, a small order, just six items. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 1 cent.
