Three of a Kind
Post

December 26, 2014

And while there are three work days to go – they are the “three of a kind” mentioned in the title – they really won’t be alike.

  • Number of work days (counting today) until I retire,
  • Winner on your first throw of the dice, loser any throw thereafter,
  • Number of age spots on the back of my left hand [TMI?], and
  • an extremely unusual “beats per measure” in music (very likable example here).

“Hey you, get back to work!”

  • 7:00AM Quick blog (hence, the total absence of profound – deal with it)
  • 7:30AM Face rake, shower, teeth, clothes – yesterday’s jeans are fine but I’m two days into that shirt and going out in public; that has to change
  • 8:00AM Road – Wow, so this is what “rush hour” is like – I remember this!
  • 9:00AM Mayo Clinic, Prevnar 13 shot, ban the bad pneumonia
  • 9:30AM Road (approx.)
  • 10:30AM Walgreens – Decaf is on sale; clean ’em out
  • 11:00AM … uhm, close enough – *s*l*o*w*l*y* fix something for lunch
  • Noon - “Show up” at the office and try to look productive – when you’ve worked from home for twenty years, this is a total no-brainer
  • 4:30PM - Knock off early. I’m retiring soon, you know?
