expired nutrition bar

 while doing a cleanup on another floor, i am still finding some weird things. one of those was a nutrition bar, that expired in 2010. naturally it was tossed in the trash. but some of the other findings were worth keeping. there was a sheet of fun food and drink stickers, personified. a cup with a straw is playing guitar, and a box of fries is playing a horn. i also like seeing pizza, ice cream, a taco, and a donut on this sheet. i had to let a colleague know that the supply orders hadn't arrived yet. looks like one of them still needed a purchase order. only one that arrived was sealing fluid bottles, which has to be ordered by a senior leader, and both were picked up from the branch near the end of the day. vacation replacement heard about the copier on another floor and how it will be picked up soon and asked about a coffeemaker. i said i saw two in the breakroom and neither one was plugged in. in the evening i went to get groceries at the hy-vee in eagan. i saw a banner about the store hosting a trick or treat event later this month. late in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 83 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when leonard gave a speech without sheldon and at the end the two get into a fight that is put online by howard. it was followed by the one where howard meets his half-brother, while sheldon and amy build a fort out of blankets. both of these serve as a reminder of how i like the episodes that have amy in them more than the ones that don't. thankfully more than half of the twelve seasons had amy as part of the cast. 

key box moved

 at work my boss showed me how to get into the key box, as the copier on another floor will be picked up soon. one thing i noticed is that this was moved. it had been inside the building near the elevator, but now it is next to the badge scanner by the front door. i said a few things had been printed at this copier in error since most moved out in july, i sent those to the shredder. guess the courier will pick it up in a little over a week. two days were given, i said either one is fine but i will have to tell them it was good thing that the first one was chosen. because the second is a bank holiday. the boss left before midday, i am used to this by now. i spoke of how the paystubs are back but have been low volume so far. i drank the can of bell's with the evening meal and got a can of michelob at the liquor store near me so there still are four beers waiting. i got some things booked as well, ordered two event tickets for this month. also booked a vaccine for a little over a week from now. later on i went on a walk and found 25 cents. the 'big bang theory' rerun was when sheldon and leonard went to skywalker ranch and were denied entry and then detained. 

under investigation

 at work we heard more about the test checks sent to canada. it was that it is 'under investigation'. this was shortly after my boss asked me about it through i.m. i said the only email i saw was his inquiry about it. there was also an email about carpet cleaning at the downtown office, that i have not moved to yet. but i see plenty of emails like this that aren't relevant yet to me, although relevant to most people on their mailing list. in the evening i got a good look at the pages i had printed, ideas for events to attend in the near future. nothing booked yet but plenty of good planning done, such as deciding which one to scrap. now it means ordering tickets for two of them soon. late in the evening i went on a walk and found 55 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when penny's friend, 'the whore of omaha', shows up and of course howard is interested. it was followed by the one where the final meal made by howard's mom was eaten by the friends, while sheldon and leonard feud over credit on a science paper. 

beaches, beabadoobee

 this morning the last song i heard during the drive to the office was 'beaches', by beabadoobee. i had heard it the day before, but figured the title might not have been enough to find it in an online search. i paid closer attention to the lyrics the second time, so i had something to write down and look up right away. this performer's real name is Beatrice Laus, born in the Philippines but arrived in Great Britain with her family at age three. not only does it sound good, hearing the guitar and drums as well as the lyrics, but reading the words is nice, especially 'who knows the actual truth?' and 'i'm sure now'. score one for changing the radio station in my car to 89.3, the current. plenty of indie music on that channel that i don't hear anywhere else. this was also where i found the one called first aid kit, the two sisters from Sweden. at work there was a one-check file, it was overnighted to the caymans, a reminder of John Grisham movies where people offshore money there. why it wasn't sent to i-pay, i don't know. for my purposes it was lumped together with i-pay since i had to print the Fargo files first and i had the i-pay file by the time i was done. my boss put me on an email thread, asking where the test checks were that i sent to Canada. no response yet on the result since i overnighted them. and i was asked to get another computer monitor from the deserted third floor, for a colleague. it is now in the check shop next to the other one, don't know when either is getting picked up. in the evening i watched the debate between the two candidates for vice president. this one was more civil than the two presidential debates. later on, i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 15 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when leonard and lesley hooked up but lesley said she was good until new year's. it was followed by the one where raj was caught snooping when dermatologist emily had to go to the hospital.
