Once again I am exhausted. The past few days haven’t been kind on me.

Yesterday, I did a wire transfer to the organizers of the Caribbean vacation I want to take. I’m hoping it is going through without incident. But the stress level is a bit high from that.

On the way home, on my scooter, it started hailing. I was luckily taking a route through downtown, because if I had taken Groat road, I would have found it flooded. It was a miserable trip because everything was a traffic jam. I didn’t want to go fast because I assumed it would be slippery, and the traffic was very accommodating because I could only go forward a few meters before being forced to stop and wait. Especially annoying because my scooter, since it got the new pipe, has been sucking back gas like it was going out of style. I want to do constant speed instead of start-stop start-stop. It took me 39 minutes to get home, but I was secure in the knowledge that that would be the longest commute I’m going to have.

This morning it took me 42 minutes to get to work.

I wanted to avoid the university because that seems to be a big time suck. The alternate route I took was nothing but traffic jam. More start-stop start-stop. I’m guessing that I made every wrong choice that is possible on that trip.

I had a webex meeting this morning. But the people showing me the problem weren’t able to reproduce it. It was a fiasco and a waste of time. There is an hour I’m never getting back.

I had submitted an expense claim two months ago for some Javascript courses I had taken. It’s normally only supposed to take four weeks before I can get reimbursed. I’ve been waiting for that money so I can get my bank account above the level where I don’t have to pay service fees. I found out today that the paperwork has been completely lost. I have to find the copies I have of the receipts somewhere in the pile of papers at home and then resubmit the claim. Even though my new company bought an electronic forms company, they still do everything by paper.

This would be easier if my home office was tidied up, I could find the receipts quickly, but I don’t have time for that. That crystal meth solution is looking really tempting now.
