Summer left for work and I brought my laptop to bed. There still hasn&#8217;t been much asked of me, so I did a couple tasks and then tried to sit through some more Microsoft training. It felt a lot more like a sales pitch than training for how to do something specific, so that was a bore. Muad&#8217;Dib dozed on my arm, snoring all the while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually I got cleaned up and took Eaddie to meet Summer at Cicis for lunch. They&#8217;re running their early week deal for the remainder of the year, and it&#8217;s by far the best salad bar you can get at that price, even if you don&#8217;t eat the pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After we ate, I took Eaddie home and went back to work for a while. Later in the afternoon, I took Muad&#8217;Dib to Clear View to see if they could fix the chip in my windshield. When I walked in, they were all in the office folding paper airplanes, and asked if I was any good at it. I asked if she just saw my Asian eyes when I walked in and assumed I was good at origami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mike pulled the car into the bay and got to work on the glass, and I let Muad&#8217;Dib out to wander around. We chatted, along with another kid that was there, until the job was done. When he finished, I offered to pull the car out and then give him my insurance information to he could get paid, and he ran me off and said not to worry about it. I left feeling really conflicted, because he&#8217;s always super nice when I talk to him, but there&#8217;s always something wrong with the work I have done. Last time it was tiny bubbles in the tint. This time, he didn&#8217;t level the surface of the chip, and it left a bright spot that catches the light, plain as day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I stopped at Casey&#8217;s for a freebie Celsius and then pulled into the Tri-Mountain driveway next to Airgas to try and exchange my CO<sub>2<\/sub> tank. The gate was closed, and I learned that they had actually closed at four, so I went back to the house without any gas. Summer got home from work just shortly after that, and tried to wind down pretty quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dad texted that they had eggrolls, so I eventually ran Muad&#8217;Dib over there while Summer drove. Julie and Kevin beat us. It was a quick dinner with some fried rice, and then we finished our run while Summer went home to crash. I gave Muad&#8217;Dib a good bath and tried to clean him up enough to last a couple days, then picked up around the kitchen before bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>He needs his own CPUP.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I slept in for just a little while since I was working from home today.
