Bad Maths

A colleague called me to confirm some numbers with her before a meeting, just some simple multiplication, easy arithmetic stuffs. I was in line so I had to do it in my head, so I made mistakes and said, “uh, hold on a sec” and “wait, that was wrong” a bit. Then I [...]

1 Quick Note

Got back yesterday, probably I have lots to say, but later. Except for 1 thing: the Barnes & Noble on Shattuck is closing!!! Whoa. That’s 2 bookstores that I can think of off the top of my head this year. (The other was Cody’s on Telegraph.) I think at least [...]

Sleeeeeepy

Oops! I Did It Again…

I dunno why I keep trying to give directions to people. Today, 2 random guys on the street asked me to suggest a pizza place where they could get pizza by the slice. And even though we were 2 blocks (or something away from Arinell and Pie in the Sky (both good!), the [...]
