Out of The PIT

I got a call on my way to my dental appointment at 0915. They were wondering where I was. I told them that I was on my way but could've sworn that the appointment was at 0930. When I got there I confirmed the time in my calendar was 0930 but they had me down for 0900. Now I did not change the time from the original booking, but there was a lot of back and forth the past week where they asked if I could come in earlier or later than scheduled. I should have paid more attention to the time that they quoted as the original time so that something like this would not have happened. Next time I guess. The next appointment is at 0930.

When MJNL and I spent a week downtown to see what it was like to live near Fort York, I had forgotten my deodorant. I figured that one week would not kill anyone, but seeing as MJNL would be spending the most time with me I would get some feedback from her first to see what it was like. She told me that she liked it better without the deodorant. She said that she didn't notice my body odor and the deodorant had too sharp an aroma. Really? <- sniffs at shirt. I dunno, sometimes I find that I could start smelling a little ripe in the afternoon. It was something I noticed more succinctly during our trip to Indochina when I had to re-wear a shirt or two. Or five. I was even using using deodorant at that time. Well, I think I may end this experiment sooner rather than later. It doesn't seem to reduce the number of people coming by my cubicle.

Found an interesting site from VSauce2 showing some animated gifs which describe how certain objects work called Anim agraffs .

The day after I got my second poppy, I lost it. I thought I was being so careful this time, but the tighter one clenches their fist, the quicker things seem to trickle out from between one's fingers. Okay, the third time will be the charm!

I have had my poppy for a number of years now. I had saved it after each remembrance day to use again the next year - a reminder of how long this token of remembrance has lasted. Unfortunately, the leather jacket I have now is not the easiest to poke holes into, so I had slid the pin through the zipper of a breast pocket. This had the unfortunate consequence of making the poppy less secure, and many a time I had to pick the poppy up from the floor or my chair. Well, last night when we went out to dinner, my poppy had come off before I got to the restaurant, and I could not find it anywhere. So long poppy. Time to pick up a new poppy!
