Applied to two Control Systems Engineer positions at Boeing based on online search results, and one Mechanical Engineering Technician position at NEKA Marble & Granite based on an ad in the Washington Post. (For the latter, I called the number given, was told that the person I was trying to contact was out and to fax instead. It'd be a bit more efficient if they just had everyone fax, eh?)

Also, installed the Handspring Visor Neo I got for Xmas, as my old one was quickly draining batteries (like, after a few days of minimal use) and rendering itself basically unusable. Fortunately, the new installation also got the USB cradle working again--at least, the new one works. Don't much care about the old one. :)

Worked 3-close. Got to meet two huge (and getting huger) friendly Irish Wolfhounds. Had a couple customers very close to getting a Quaker Parakeet, before getting scared off by the remote chance of Pscittacosis (chlamydia pscittaci), which is a) uncommon, and b) not particularly detrimental to humans--sort of like a low-grade flu. Oh well. Christina dropped by bearing chocolate and a car cell phone power adapter (did you know the dollar store sells those?), which was cool. :)

Originally wasn't scheduled to work tomorrow, but Ross noticed that high-school-attending Susan was scheduled by crack-smoking Tonya to work 7-3 and asked if I'd swap my Sunday 8-4 for that. Sure, said I, so work tomorrow, I do.
