Four unrelated comments.

1. People are nice.

I went to the post office this morning to send off Amy's DVD and return something from Crafter's Choice that I didn't ask for (I mean, really. Since when am I a quilter?), and got to chatting with the woman who was in line in front of me. They had three windows open that were taking forever, and the line grew really large behind us, so the inevitable 'we got here just in time' comments started up. When she found out that I was on my lunch hour, she made me go in front of her--would not accept anything but agreement. I kept shaking my head, and she ended up walking around and slipping in behind me, in spite of my objections.

2. Gas is freaking expensive.

Three quarters of a tank, $30. Ow. Still not as expensive as bottled water, I suppose, but still. Ow.

The car wash was fun, though, and now my car is all sexy again. I love that dark blue color.

3. Country singers amuse me.

What is it with the latest trend in country music, where a lot of the men sing with their eyes all squinched up, sounding like they're constipated and trying to squeeze out a log while they're singing?

Or is that just me?

4. I am blind.

No matter who parks in the parking space closest to the building to the right of the entrance, the glare from the sun blinds me right around this time every day. I've taken to parking there, because it's worse from minivans and SUVs, and I had *thought* it helped, but clearly (or, perhaps, through sun-spotted vision), it hasn't.

5. A bonus comment.

We are doing the happy dance here at work, as one of our most...ahem, vocal clients has moved on to another job, leaving other people to deal with the Vital project.
