Would rather be in a hot tub

mizarchivist... at least then I'd maybe get relaxing, massage-y bubbles with the water. This walking around in evenly disbursed water zones on hot days makes me tense.
So today has been a bit more exciting that I'd like-
1. get to work (fine, no problem)- although talking to homelessguy bob is sad. He's broken his glasses and is about to lose his room at Revere Beach.
2. get call from Fearless Leader (who is back from vacation finally) and he tells me that the paychecks are here. Finally. Happy!!
3. consider depositing check now. It has finally stopped raining in an active kind of way.
4. where's my atm card? Not here. Really. BAD.
5. conference w.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
quiet_elegance who happens to be working from home. End result: call bank, cancel card. Have determined that card hasn't been used by someone else. Bad becomes simply inconvenient
6. go to bank- while waiting, see a family of parents and 2 kids: obviously not from around here. Their child is just about translucent she's so pale and white-blonde. I figure Finnish. Definitely scandinavian. They don't talk quite long enough to provide enough context. (My parents hosted a fin and norwegian, so I'm not entirely in the dark on that one)
Anyway, card procured with minimum fuss (temp that is) and new card will be here Soon (TM).
7. Decide that it's time to get a new wallet. I think the disappearance of the card has a direct link to the fact that my preferred wallet is a silver cigarette case, which is not so good on the containment thing. Hell, it even wrigged out of my pocket and leapt into the deep end of Julie's Dad's pool! It frequently ends up sliding out of bags and into the back seat of cars and if it has too much shit in it, will not snap close very well. But hey! It's funky and cool.
But cursed regarding money. So, it's going to be officially retired. If anyone in the area wants this cursed device for their own personal use (give to an enemy, for example) it's up for grabs. I don't want to forget this eventually and start using it again.
8. go to Filene's basement- wander around the store about 6 times. Eventually find the kind of men's wallet that is a single fold (rather than tri, which is extra bulky) that has one of those awesome lowest-common-denominator inter-wallets that one can remove and keep one's cash and id in for the moments (more frequent in the summer, at least for me) when one doesn't want to be burdoned with everything. However, figuring out that this inter-wallet is, in fact, part of an uber-wallet, took at least 3 human transactions. Fixed now.
I even found 2 pair of sunglasses for ~1.50 each! So, now I have amber for dusk motor/pedal cycling and a set of dark wrap-arounds to replace my regular set that are already falling apart. (badly engineered. New ones are better I hope)
Now. Maybe I can get some work done? Doubt it. It's almost lunch time!!
