meaningless minutiae

Day in numbers

3 conference calls
1 coffee with friend
Ears keep popping

Grace listening to Little House on the Prairie

No thank you

Fashion I cannot get behind:

1. Flat gladiator sandals

2. Skinny jeans

A Day in Data

  • 3.5 – miles run at 6am
  • 75 – minutes spent on the runway at Logan before taking off
  • 10 – number of times the cell phone of the elderly woman sitting next to me rang (loudly) before she successfully picked it up
  • 18 – floor I erroneously got off on en route to my first meeting. Went into every office on the floor before realizing I was on the wrong floor
  • 28 – correct floor for first meeting.
  • 6 – number of visible lightning bolts viewed during first meeting from conference room window. Interestingly, identical to illustrations in the book I read to the children over breakfast this morning.
  • 2 – resume typos I obnoxiously pointed out to headhunters in said meeting
  • 14 – blocks walked in pouring rain between first and second meeting
  • 3 – jumbo sized bags of candy eaten today
  • 1 – 20 ounce Diet Coke all day (aren’t you proud?)
  • 34 – minutes elapsed from touching down at Logan and walking in the door of my house
  • 10 – minutes until I go to sleep
