The Mandelbear's Musings

Started out the morning -- well, after the LJ and coffee, anyway -- with a trip downtown to the CA State Board of Equalization, which for some unguessable reason is what they call the place where you register for a sales tax account. Mild screw-up because I'd filled out the wrong form. Apparently I'm not the only one who got the wrong form off their website. Took a little over an hour.

I had my new tweed hat (that I'd bought at Dickens Fair a couple of weeks ago) in my jacket pocket, and it fell out in the office. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until I'd gotten back to my car, up four flights of stairs in the Second and San Carlos garage. Cursing to myself, I quickly dashed back down and up the stairs, in case I'd dropped it there, then got out of the garage, parked at a parking meter, and retraced my steps. Luckily, somebody had found it.

I very nearly skipped my walk, figuring that going up and down four flights of stairs twice probably counted as exercise, but it was a nice day and I felt like walking. I even did the hill both ways.

Got very little done at work in the afternoon. Evening was the annual Golden Bough winter concert. Wonderful, as usual. A 16-year family tradition.
