A couple of weeks ago, I rode the bus to Virginia Beach to apply for a temporary job that had been advertised in the paper. The snippy receptionist had simply said, "All the positions are filled." She didn't even give me an application to fill out. (They had needed 50 people.) Saturday, the ad was in the paper again, so this morning I went down there with a chip on my shoulder a mile wide. I mentally rehearsed all the things I was going to say to the receptionist, but when I got there, she wasn't there. Two very nice women were at the counter. They didn't hesitate one second in giving me an application. I might not get the job, but at least I feel a lot better about it.
Walked back to Pembroke Mall, thinking it was about a mile, but it turned out to be closer to three miles. Got there too late for the movie I wanted to see, so I ate lunch, walked to a grocery store, bought a few groceries, and returned to the boat. It was a beautiful day for a walk.
It was also a beautiful day for a bike ride, so Roy, of course, was out riding his bike. He got back a few minutes before I did. He's installing the GPS in the cockpit, so we can see it without going below.
I finally got my QBASIC programs to run correctly. Now I feel a lot better. I hadn't programmed in so long, I was afraid I'd forgotten how, but it's still there.
