So, i made arrangements to meet a guy who worked with another group in our office, was laid off in June, and wants me to be a reference. He's been looking for a while. While i can't really speak about his work directly, i can speak about the group he worked for and the type projects they do, and i can speak to that he wasn't let go because of a competency issue. But, since i didn't work on anything with him, i wanted to talk before i'd be comfortable as even the loosest reference.
We were going to meet at 3:45. I was running a little late. I called the number he had called me from. I sent him email when i got there letting him know i'd wait until 4:30. I didn't hear back until 8:48 pm that "I was tardy in showing up at Red Rock Cafe myself."
I just don't know. I do know i have absolutely no inclination to stretch for him at this point.

Afterwards i planned to run some errands, because i thought i might be a bit wound up by the social interaction. One was at Bed Bath and Beyond, where i think i got an exposure to some perfume/scent product that gave me a headache (back in the bedding section). I was also over hungry. Christine and i spent some time picking out a mat to prevent slipping in the tub. This morning i see our choice of the bamboo "beads" is not meant for in the tub. Well, tough. We'll see how it disintegrates. I'm trying to avoid buying more plastics when i can. The other eco option was rubber. I know that the natural rubber would not be a petro-product, but i've no idea what happens as it disintegrates. Does rubber contribute to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, to the small particles? So, we're going with wood.

Yesterday's investigation into vitamins will need to count as much of my 1.self goals and work. I've glanced at my list of goals in my mind map, cursed that some notes i made in my mind map seem to have gone awol with the disk sync issue, but noted that all in all i'm doing OK. This one goal, "* Use my morning energy to address each of the seven goal aspects, cycling in order, by either journaling or actually following through on desk tasks," seems to be working. Every morning i am doing a look ahead at *some* aspect of my life now, instead of whatever is most demanding. The weekly pacing felt more ... something ... impressive? But it wasn't balanced. I'm occasionally doing squats, and i have the bike on the trainer in a usable configuration again, given that walking with Christine in the evening is difficult in the dark *and* our evenings are getting busy.

Argh, failure with sync to android. Saved the log. Working on trying to resolve problems these days -- and spent about a half hour on an alarm app yesterday. Hi, i'm your free QA service.
Grumble.
