Work and play

Though it's a Saturday, I reported bright and early for work at my friend's business, as I had promised some consulting time this weekend. I was there several hours, but only got a couple hours of productive work in as I got reaclimated to their network (I setup their firewall in January and had slept since).

After work, I saw X-Men 3. It was a decent movie, but not as good as the first two. Interesting that they left it slightly open at the end.

I hung out at the mall a bit longer after the movie, as I had to get a dress for Darby. Shortly after the movie I learned that Darby's piano recital is TOMORROW rather than next week. I was pretty peeved at Darby for miscommunicating that detail (I had previously and specifically asked her about the event). While I did get a dress, wouldn't it figure that her mother and I would later decide not to participate in this recital? Darby's mom has been dealing with moving issues this last week, and among other factors, it made more sense to opt out.

Shortly after leaving the ex-wife's, I got the expected call from dad, asking where I was, because I was supposed to take him to the airport. Fortunately, I was on my way there. In the short amount of time I was at my dad's waiting for him to finish getting his things in order, I learned I'd be doing a bit more work after dropping dad off, AND I had to wire my mother money. Those details will remain unexplained, but needless to say, mom called while I was waiting to take dad to the airport.



Update
So I ended up working a few more hours after dropping dad off. But it was worth it. I finished up what I went there to do to begin with this morning. My friend's business now has a fully functional VPN, so they can work from home, or from anywhere really, and have full access to all of their files and systems. It's so cool, I'm thinking about setting one up at home (surprised I don't already have one).
