It’s not so much that I’ve got a ton of pressing stuff to do as the fact that the things I have to do seem to be taking much longer than I’d like. Simple tasks turn into an hour spent on the phone trying to resolve something that should have taken five minutes.
On a good note, I got the lawn mowed yesterday. Entirely within my control, and I didn’t have to wait for anyone else, and it went nice and quickly. Ditto for catching up on laundry.

So I guess the point is that I’ll be interested to see how Steveo deals with basically the same problem I’m wrestling with. [steveo] - Minnesota is saying Speeders, beware: Your joyride may be over. The normal 10 mph cushion the cops usually allow is probably gone until July 6 or so. That will add fifteen to twenty minutes each way to the next trip up to mom’s. [strib]
- I don’t think I need the EFF Legal Guide for Bloggers, but pointing to it at least once probably isn’t a bad idea. [boing boing]
