I am still basing my calendar and my day against my last month and a half of vacay. It makes the current day look bad. It brings perspective.
So, today was nothing like a vacation day. Not a tough comparison to make. I was up early since I still can’t shake the jet lag. To bed early, up early. Fortunately morning was normal. I got everything done timely. Which left time for breakfast with Marika. She is leaving for home today. Has work tomorrow. So that’s the end of summer. Kids gone home me and Em back to work. I am always a little depressed at this point of the year.
Marika went to work out. Em went to work. I went to work. I have an 11am appointment this morning. If anyone can remember, back a few months, I was trying to finish up an extensive tax plan for client Frank. The plan fell apart due to Frank. He behaved idiotically and the whole deal went south. Well, this morning I am meeting with Franks personal advisor and insurance agent to attempt to resurrect the plan. Of course, his advisor is a complete moron. Complete. So we, Hal and I, are going to try to get this done, again, with the help of a moron.
Nice drive to work. Nothing interesting happened. That’s a great drive.
So, meeting. I got to my office and Hal and the Moron were already there, chatting. I joined the discussion. We went through the entire plan. Again, for the millionth time. The Moron asked questions as only an idiot can and he sounded stupid doing it. You can’t hide it. But, we were nice. Client Frank sent this guy. Last I spoke of him to client Frank, Frank hurled vile epithets at home and cusmrsed him. He lost Frank $200k on another project. But now the Moron is back in his good graces and somehow Frank thinks stupid can make his plan work. Hal and I want the plan completed, properly and hopefully we get paid. We will see.
The meeting lasted near 2 1/2 hours, including Hal and I discussion after the idiot left. Too long. The balance of the day was normal work and bill paying and payroll. Usual Friday. Not very exciting.
Emily called late, near 530. It’s Friday and she pretended we did not need to go out to dinner. I have learned, we go out on Friday. I chose Thai food. Why? Because Emily likes Thai food. And I don’t care. We got Thai.
We came home and have been watching Tv for two hours. Next is bed. I am tired, as I mentioned earlier. Emily is asleep in front of the TV. Surprise.
