1. Found a check in my laptop bag. It had expired about a week ago. Since it was for $40, I am unsure whether I am going to try to get a new check or if the time I would need to spend on the phone (and then the time I would spend remembering to cash the new check) wouldn’t be worth it.

  2. I’ve been assigned a task to complete at work today that calls up some deep-held vestigal fears. Like, I can explain to you why the person I am now is not irrationally afraid of the same things the person I was when this sort of stuff became scary was afraid of, but I’m still sort of dreading this task.

  3. My hiring woes: Not only am I shopping for an Applicant Tracking System and maintaining pleasant — but frequent — business-related conversations with the sales representatives, but I am also being buried under a mountain of applications from prospective interns. It is too bad that intern-hiring season started before ATS-shopping season concluded.

  4. I had been super-excited to tell you about a line of very clever code that I wrote, but it looks like it needs to remain a secret for now.
