killing time

[dchenes]

It stopped raining, which was nice of it, and I went off on an Expedition, which was an utter failure. I got up to the embroidery place in Arlington and discovered that, contrary to its web site, it's closed on Mondays. Since it had taken half of forever for the 77 bus to arrive at Harvard Square and I didn't hold out much hope for it going the other way, I decided to start walking back down Mass Ave. So I did that, and decided that as long as I was walking that way, I'd go to China Fair and see about a basket or so to put my video tapes in. Wrong; apparently China Fair is closed on Mondays too. So I got stubborn, and since there still hadn't been a bus going in the direction I was going, I walked back to Harvard Square, got on the T, went down to Park Street, walked to Chinatown, had lunch and came home. I think I've officially had enough exercise today, if for no other reason than I did all that walking while wearing jeans, and it's rather warm out. I'll probably change my mind about that and go grocery shopping once I cool off again.

I sent my resume off to another translation agency, which will probably ignore it because I don't have five years of experience. I'll never know if I don't try, though. I've more or less decided to send my resume to anything Tufts-related that is NOT the dental school and see if that gets me anywhere. If nothing else, I knew their particular system of bureaucracy once.

Tomorrow I may try the whole round of errands again, minus the walk back to Harvard Square from China Fair. At least tomorrow it might not take me five and a half hours to accomplish nothing.
