I got nearly nothing to report.  It was just a nice usual day.

I'm getting used to the new building.  The lights are automatically set to come on at 7.  I generally get there about 6:15ish.  You can over ride the dark with a wall switch but the trick is finding it.  Microsoft office buildings keep the switch a mystery.  It took me a month to find it in my last building. But I found it this morning!  The correct switch to bring light to my office is down the hall and around the corner. I pass two other switches to get to it.  So it was a nice little "ah ha!" moment when I found it.

I've got two new websites to build at work so that means a steady stream of stuff to do which is great.  Plus one of them has no deadline (I'm really just moving it from one content system to another - which means rebuilding all the pages in the new system).  The other one has a pseudo deadline.  The manager needs something 'live' by the end of the year and agreed today that if it was 4 pages, then that would work.  She owes me content and there's not a lot I can do until I get that but at least it won't be one of those last minute fire drills.

I keep flip flopping about health insurance. I'm currently paying $250 for Cobra.  It's a good plan but, honestly way more than I need.  I can get what is basically a catastrophic (high deductible, no pharmacy, etc.) plan for about $120.  There is one plan that is $2,500 deductible with $1 mill lifetime that is probably the smart deal for me.  I should probably go ahead and get it now instead of waiting until August when the Cobra ends.  The reality is that in the last 20 years, I have spent - out of pocket + what insurance paid - somewhere near $1,000 in health costs.  But that's no barometer for the next 20 years or even the next 20 months.  I don't want to break my arm and have to sell the condo to pay for getting it fixed.

But now I'm on the bus on the way home and I really need to concentrate on remembering to stop by the metro office and buy a new bus pass for December or tomorrow morning I'm going to be SOL.

I am home and I remembered.  New note to self:  If you wait until the end of the last day of the month, the lines are going to be long.

I love the new Semagic auto spell check.
