I noticed yesterday that some of the gas stations had gone up by 5 - 10 cents except for one. So today I decided to fill up even though I still had a good amount to get me through the weekend. I didn't want to take the chance of the $3.34 price becoming the $3.45 price of another station (or worse!)
8/22/08 Odometer: 104,917
8/29/08 Odometer: 105,185
=268 miles (trip to mom and stepdads, trip to Mckinney (Museum), regular driving)
Purchased 7.764 gallons@ $3.34 =$26.00
Mileage = 268/7764 ~29 mpg
Hmm . . that number seems off somehow. It's strange how each time I fill up, my mileage seems to be going down by one mile.

Today was kind of frustrating at work. I was *very* busy. That is a good thing. But one of the frustrating things that happened was that I worked through my normal lunch hour to finish getting some documents certifed mailed. Then, when I took my lunch time, I had only finished eating a few minutes, when my OM saw me savoring the last few minutes of break time and was like - L, do you know DW has stuff he needs you to do? And that he said you'll have to stay here till it's done?
Arghh! Yes, I knew he had stuff he wanted me to do. I knew that it wouldn't be something that could be done quickly, and that he wanted it done before leaving for the weekend. I know she wasn't saying it to be mean or malicious or whatever, but at that point it just sat so totally wrong with me!
Then later on I was attempting to make copies of these HUGE documents. He wanted them in color. There is only the one color copier. I had managed to make one good copy, and had a second one set when the copier started whirring with a big print job. Usually I can handle that without outwardly showing any frustration. Today my frustration showed and was noticed by the person who'd sent the print job.
I know it can't be helped when there are a dozen people hooked up to the same copier/printer. Even so, it can be SO annoying when you're in the middle of a copy job to all of a sudden have a print job start up. It's nobody's fault, and can't really be helped. All the same, it still can be quite annoying.

Congrats on doing your workouts this week. Keep on going! I plan on doing the super long walk Saturday or Sunday, and hit the gym on Monday. Take advantage of the quietude.

Sorry your lunch got interrupted, there's nothing worse than rushing through a well-deserved break!
