errands

[dchenes]

I went out this afternoon with the intention of going up to the ATM in Chinatown where I used to buy stamps, and if not getting them there, going up to the Chinatown post office. No luck with the ATM, but at least I remembered where the post office was and got the electric bill mailed. (And the Chinatown post office isn't staffed entirely by curmudgeons any more, either, hooray!)

Having got that done, I wandered off to Borders for a while, just because, and then decided to go up to Coolidge Corner by way of Park Street. Unfortunately there's a used CD store between Borders and Park Street...but while I was there, I got a call from the department-specific Harvard HR person I talked to yesterday, so now I have an interview with the Dean tomorrow. I really hope I don't end up talking to five people and not getting the job anyway.

Anyway, I got on the T and went off to Coolidge Corner, because I discovered last month that Paper Source had some adhesive dots that are exactly what I want to put together the collage I've had bits of kicking around since before grad school. They were out of them, of course. Oh well. I think today ends up on the positive side of the ledger anyway. It was even sunny and decently warm.

You can get that sort of adhesive dots much cheaper at a craft store like AC Moore or Michaels. I have some and could give you a string if you want to start.

Good luck wishes for the HR job meeting. Are you going to be in my neck of the world? Want to join me for lunch or a lunchtime walk? Call my work phone 6174955357.
