bad weather brewing

 in the evening i went to another meetup event, at a micro-brewery, bad weather brewing in st. paul. it is on the way to the xcel center, explaining why i had to careful on where i chose to park. some street signs said 'no event parking, we will tow'. so i parked on west 7th, two blocks down from the brewery. i saw a friend of mine right away upon arrival, before i even got a nametag or a beer. but i did get both shortly thereafter. then i found the event coordinator as well, saying i am thankful for this meetup group as i am finding places i might not otherwise know about. i did speak with others at this event, one was about art imitating life. another once worked at the same place as me. and another spoke of team huddles in football. once i found a friend of mine she spoke a lot about how much she likes her air fryer, even taking it with her while on the road for ski trips and such. i said i have a microwave oven and would need to research air fryers before getting one. i have to see the value in things before making any changes. this friend also spoke about wanting to get a group together and go to a karaoke bar, and i do like singing karaoke. although i don't know yet when or where. after i was done at this event i did get a ticket ordered for a film festival next month, a documentary movie. at work it was a long day, especially when there were plenty of overnights in the second i-pay file near the end of the day. at the outset it was fourteen, i got it down to eleven. two will have to go regular mail, unable to overnight to a po box. and another was lumped together with an earlier check, 'return to business line', going to another bank office, in milwaukee. i got another request to pull a check out of a file, instead of send it to oshkosh like the others. this time i was smarter about it. i said i needed two things. one was to also copy the shared box with the request, in case i am out of the office. the other was to let me respond to the email, with 'check is found and will be sent'. this cuts down on instant messages asking about it. during my walks i found 51 cents. the 'big bang theory' rerun was when sheldon tried to pick up a lady in a bar, then spoke with amy in the hall.
