Doe, a deer, a female deer…

There was one in my driveway just a little while ago when I was driving back from town. I got five or six pictures but I was using the camera phone so they didn’t look so good. I could see her, but that was because I knew where to look, and after I cropped them and blew them up a little there was just a pixelated brown blob in the center of the frame.

Oh well.

Not sure if I mentioned it but I’m going out to Seattle to visit my parents next month. I was planning on using that time to go to AWA but they were laying a guilt trip on me about how they haven’t seen me since February, blah blah blah. Coincidentaly February is when *they* packed up and moved three thousand (or so) miles from here. I wonder if that’s why they haven’t seen me? Hmmm.

Critter called before I went into town, and for the life of me I can’t remember why. Oh well, it doesn’t really matter why she called, I just enjoyed the conversation. The odd thing is that I had the phone in my hand and was wondering whether I should call her or not to see if she was feeling better. I mentioned that to her and she said that yesterday when I sent her the text message about going to lunch at the pizza place she was thinking about sending *me* a text asking what I was doing. Freaky, man. Or maybe we’re just that connected. I’ll go either way on this one.

So far the managers at my store are in line for a bonus at the end of the year, but we have no way of knowing how much. I’ve heard of managers at my level in stores my size getting as much as eight or ten grand. I’d be happy with four, because that’s how much I have plans for already: $1500 for a new TV; $1500 for my new A/V receiver; $1000 to other things that need doing but I’m not going to mention again here. Anything over that and I’ll put it towards a motorcycle so I can save on gas money. Anything less than that and I’ll have to start dropping things. The receiver goes first, then the TV.
