I spent all day in my office just familiarizing myself with things and trying to remember where to find it all. I&#8217;ve been in the Google ecosystem for so long that Microsoft tools are cluttered and overwhelming, and it doesn&#8217;t help that my laptop runs pretty slow. It seems to always be pretty quiet upstairs, though people will pass by occasionally. The office and hallway echo a lot, so I&#8217;m more self conscious about the sounds I make than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I still had to get my car insurance paperwork signed, so I tried going to a local agent who sold Progressive in the afternoon. She was only a little bit snotty about not being able to help me. I grabbed a little double bacon cheeseburger and some Takis fries from Wendy&#8217;s, and though the restaurant was super slow, the food was hot and fresh. The fries were actually better than I expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last couple hours of the afternoon went by quietly, and the lady across the hall poked her head in to ask how late I was staying. Without being given actual working hours, I let her know I could walk out at any point. She had a key to lock up, and figured we were the last ones there, so we walked out together through a dark office downstairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I drove straight home to find Summer and Eaddie playing <em>Guitar Hero<\/em> in her room. Eli showed up just a moment later, and then I jumped in to play a song with Eaddie and Eli. Summer wanted to eat after that, but I had to take care of a bunch of Vine stuff. She was stressed by it at first, but ended up really liking the things I got for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We eventually made it to Morelos for a surprisingly cheap dinner date. All these restaurants offering discounts to pay with cash, and charging extra to pay by card, are making me consider my options. I still hate how dirty cash is though. I&#8217;d rather keep my wallet lighter and keep their checks on the books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eaddie had Maristella and about half a dozen of her siblings over, and they were all watching TV and playing in the living room when we got home. I received a response from FutureMotion earlier in the day that my Onewheel was in for repairs. They said the controller module was replaced under warranty, suggested I pay $125 to have them replace the tire because it was &#8220;significantly out of round,&#8221; they replaced a loose gasket inside the motor &#8220;as a courtesy&#8221; that was causing a clicking sound that I had never noticed, that the battery module was somehow out of spec and would have to be replaced for $700 because it was only covered for six months rather than the whole year. That seemed like a lot of money for a $2,950 board, but the kicker was that they wanted $80 shipping to send it back to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>But look at me, all made-of-money and shit.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got Hardee&#8217;s again this morning and had a chicken biscuit on the drive in, then saved the country steak biscuit for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[56,36,66,4,95,6,71,27],"class_list":["post-8847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-disappointment","tag-food","tag-frustration","tag-lessons","tag-onewheel","tag-reviews","tag-sad","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8847"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8848,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8847\/revisions\/8848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
