I’ve been playing with computers since I was 11 or so. Maybe a little bit before that. In that time, I have resisted, so far successfully, learning how to communicate with databases using SQL. The database I am using now is heavily SQL focused, so that might need to change. Sad that that is the case because my database is so easy and small. I guess we shall see. I am trying to import a file and it is proving to be more difficult than I thought it would be. I seem to remember simple interfaces with Filemaker and database heavy applications like MailChimp. I’ll keep plodding along.
My first of two dashes was pleasant enough. Not particularly lucrative, but not terrible. And not a lot of long drives. All in all, decent. We like that.
At lunch time, I really didn’t do a lot. Partly because I was cold. Maybe I will bring the space heater up to my room and use it while I lunch. I don’t want to heat the whole house since it is only me here at lunch time.
My second dashing shift was decent as well. A couple of long rides but I did well enough to stop before my three hour, self imposed, schedule was finished. Part of the reason was that I wanted to avoid the possible last dash for not quite enough money that would add half an hour to my dash.
I spoke with a few dashers today. One was kinda scary. The other, I wish I could remember his name – I really need to work on my name skills – and I had a nice chat. I also got an order to pick up from Arby’s. It feels like I haven’t picked up there in weeks and weeks. Some of my favorite people were there. That always makes me happy.
Duolingo is done. And I am about done with the blog. More tacos for dinner tonight. I got something out of the deep freeze that I thought was a bag of flour tacos. It wasn’t. It was a bag of moo shu wrappers. I don’t think they would survive deep frying – especially with stuff in them. I will use them someday, but not tonight. Maybe I will order something Moo shu from one of the Chinese restaurants at some point in the not too distant future. I used to eat them with duck, but the last time I got the duck from the place up in Rochester, it didn’t taste the same to me. So I haven’t been back on a while…
Augustus for President: Had a nice chat with someone at Man Yuan. For some reason she was reluctant to let me use my NFC card, but that is to be expected sometimes.
At Arby’s I gave a couple of people stickers and they put them on immediately. So I gave them more so that they could look up the website. Hahahaha. I wonder if anyone has gone to the website from the stickers. So far, I don’t think so. And none of my helpers have gone there yet. We will see if they get their acts together before work time on Saturday. If they haven’t, I guess I will ask them to do it politely before they start working.
Still working on the database. And no word from K about when I might expect an organized document from her. Hopefully this year…
