Civic Duty, Done!

I did a thing!

Well, I guess another thing. (Not this thing.)

In preparation of my laptop being shipped, I got a 2nd wind to contact the County about getting a street sign. Living in a less affluent neighborhood (median income $48k), some things seem to slip between the cracks.

One of these things was our street sign. I was the last one to move into our row of townhomes (Apr 2020) but these homes have been built since around the end of last year.

I had one FedEx package get turned around because I'm guessing they couldn't find the place.

So when my laptop which was estimated to be delivered first "before 12n", then by 10:30am still didn't arrive, I followed up with the County on the request I made last week regarding the street sign.

Well...what I wish I had one before calling the County again was look out my window. She says the work order has been in since Monday, and after some kerfuffle, I looked out my window, and there it was!

Who knows when it actually went up because I was outside yesterday or the day before and didn't notice it. But I don't generally look up. I'd like to think I would have noticed the pole when I went to check the mail, but don't put it past me. I have a huge tendency to be very focused and yesterday was definitely an off day.

Anyway, street sign is definitely posted!

So where's my package?

I had considered going to the notary today during one of my breaks just to get it out of the way because Saturday is looking pretty full already.

And with this heat...and the people, my patience is going to be worn a little thin.

But now I may be stuck waiting on this package until when?

But I did it! I contacted the county and they did what they said they would do! This is the best. I love it when people do the good things they say they're going to do!!

And since we're on the topic of things to-do.

After 3 attempts at going out yesterday, I only managed to get $100 of the $150 I needed in cash. I was too flustered to think of a better solution. I did get my shrimp fajitas, but on the way to try to get the notary signature, I decided against it and turned back around.

So for Saturday (or optionally Sunday if needed), I would like to:

• Get Notary Signature ($5) and copies
• FedEx I9 back to New Job (I decided to just make the effort with the objective of moving toward permanent WFH)
• Get $50 more cash
• Get Hair Done, part 1
• Got to Beauty Supply store
• Return goods to Walmart (to get credit back to Credit Card #1 and be done with that game)

Optional

• Walmart Run
• Filters
• Standing Fan
• Storage container if in stock
• Other items on the list
• Home Depot
• Motion Light ($20)

Projecting into next week, I hope to do:

Monday

• (9AM - Get Notary Signature if not able to Friday or Saturday)
• New Job Orientation
• 5p Get Hair Done, part 2

Tuesday

• Another FedEx run to return Call Center #2's laptop (was hoping paystub would post today so I could see it, but it didn't. Need to check if direct deposits went to right place and how much I actually got paid. So I hope to still be able to access my work profile on Monday as well as just make sure I didn't forget to do anything.)
• Oh, probably should take trash to dump.

And so begins the next stage of my life!

So far, I've been avoiding pings from my co-workers. They've mostly been well-wishes, but I don't want to engage in case it leads into questions I'm not ready to answer.  But I might just be thinking too highly of myself. No one really cares what I do next, honestly. 

So that's it folks. Other than probably breaking my neck at every little noise to see if it's the FedEx truck, today is an okay day with a busy tomorrow.
