Yes, I am a sucker. Through and through. I can’t believe I fell for it again. I started a series that wasn’t complete. The silly sexy fairy war series will never end apparently. I am on book 5 and I was told that there was going to be a book 6. Which makes sense to me, since we haven’t really explored two characters in much depth. But still! How did I let this happen? Grrr. I will finish this one and if the next book(s) ever cross my path, I will read them. But I doubt I will spend much time worrying about them coming out. And I am still waiting, as are so many other people, for the third book in the KingKiller series by Rothfuss. That series will never be done. Since the first three books were supposed to be just the initial books in a much longer series. Maybe he will die and Sanderson will finish his series too. Anything is possible.
It was a two dash day and the two dashes couldn’t have been more different.
The first dash was almost ideal – 12 rides, mostly decently compensated. Including one magic ride – there were two, I got only one of them. Still, way better than none. What stopped it from being ideal was that for my next to last ride, for a $.50 tip, I had to wait an extra ten minutes. For a really simple dish. No idea why it took as long as it did. Frustrating. And then my last ride was for no tip at all. I stopped after that with a good sum, not many miles driven and a good number of offers in three hours.
The second dash was, relatively, bad. I did get to a stopping point – luckily. The dash started with me not getting a ride for half an hour. Then I got two long rides – one for NAPA which was good and one not for NAPA that wasn’t as good but not terrible. All together only 6 rides in 3 hours. Three bad rides in a row!! And a lot of driving for not enough money altogether. Oh well. One good dash, one bad, which is about average I guess.
My lunch break was almost entirely spent helping GR out with a GLO grant proposal. For some reason she can’t see the embedded tables that someone sometime created. I ended opening the document in Google Docs to be sure I was getting a decent display. Because when I opened it in Pages, it wasn’t right. I wish I could teach GR how to open the file in Google Docs, but I think that is beyond my patience level just now.
LF asked me if I could do a ride to Canandaigua. Same day. If she had given me a day’s notice, I probably could have figured it out. But same day, I have a hard time changing my plans. Yes, having an EV does mean more planning is usually better than less planning. And actually, in general, I prefer a plan to winging it. Now, if winging it is part of the plan, that’s ok!
Drat, only one more episode of High Potential. There is supposed to be a second season. But when it will come out is anyone’s guess.
Getting hungry! I am having taco salad tonight. I have to see if I can finish up the taco meat. And tomorrow I am going to have Alfredo with meatballs. Thursday, I have a GLO board meeting and I am planning on having a chicken sandwich (left over from Burger King) and fries! Oops, drooled on my keyboard.
