I mentioned before that I like seeing buildings reflected in other buildings. Today’s picture is another example of that. Same building hosting the reflection, too. It’s 1221 Nicollet, which is some Wells-Fargo building. Sure is shiny!
I’m sure all three of you who read the site are sick of hearing about it by now, but I think I finally finished filling out all the forms I needed to do as part of getting hired. I think I at least know now why there are so many. The place I work is big enough that there are different HR people for all kinds of things. And each gets their own form. You can’t just fill out one direct-deposit form. You have to do two, because you get both paychecks and expense reimbursements direct-deposited. Multiply that by all the various things a big company does, and that adds up to a lot of forms. But as I say, I think I’m done now. It’ll be nice to be able to go back to doing productive work.
And I think that’s going to do it for the day. Today is my normal Wednesday, with nearly half the work-day consumed by meetings. I guess I should probably head in a little early to get some work done. And to make up for cutting out early yesterday, which I’ll maybe talk about tomorrow.
- Apparently a Rule change could allow sale of your tax return by your accountant or tax-preparer. It’s times like this when I’m glad I know the guy who does my taxes, and glad he understands my ideas on privacy. [tcf]
- New from google: Google Finance: Google Inc. Huh. Nothing especially new, as far as I can tell, but it’s another source of financial data. And jr says In Case Anyone’s Curious…, google is a portal. Agreed. It’s just that their search is so useful, I have a hard time using anything else. [kottke and jr]
- This guy who’s Desperately Seeking Denise sounds more than a little spooky. I know I’ve had some seriously messed up relationships along the way, but this one seems weird even to me. Getting a tattoo with the name of a gal you met once in a bar for a couple hours? Sheesh. [sopheava]
- The Central Corridor light rail wins key OK from a federal agency, so the rail line between downtowns is one step closer to reality. I’ve got mixed feelings here. I’m happy that the transit line will be going in, but why did it need help from the feds (aside from the fact that they’ve taken our money to dole back out to cities for this sort of thing)? If it was such a winner, why couldn’t Minneapolis and St. Paul build it on their own? [press-patch]
- Huh. Balko was down in Mississippi and has a lot more information on the Cory Maye case. [instapundit]
