Cafe 59 chickpeas
Most of the times the portions are huge enough to make my stomach hurt. If you consider I've been working at Roswell for 23 weeks, at at least two cups of chickpeas a serving, probably averaging 1.5 times a week - it's too many chickpeas (69) or 25000 calories worth of them. I also think I'm the only person who ever orders them. The waitress knows I'm going to order it when I get in.
This week at work I've started orientation. The classes are not very useful at all and it'd probably be much more worth it if I was programming during them, but I did meet a researcher from Germany who I want to try out my German on.
After work (e:paul) and I went to (e:terry)'s new office to help straighten out the networking situation. We wanted to move the office off of using their desktop Windows server as a DNS and on to openDNS, but we couldn't figure out to log into the switch, only the firewall. Eventually Paul found the switches address over nmap and surprise, it was the default password. Success though!
Terry made a freaking delicious soup for us by the time we got home.

Animal errands
Before we set off we stopped for lunch at the new Balkan Dining restaurant on Kenmore Avenue. The portion sizes were ridiculously huge and cheap. We had leftovers for everything except for my vegetable mousaka.
Sleepy Mid - wiped out from a walk
Ferrets are so freaking cute
After Paul and Terry came back and picked me up, we went to Markham Pets to get Basra hay. The last time I was there in 2003, I was getting a guinea pig and it was disgusting. i remember bugs and fleas everywhere in the rodent cages.
This time it was much cleaner.
Basra's smaller counterpart if he weren't such a dirrrty tortoise. He also had way less space.
Little Meerschweinchen hiding in their house. I wanted to pick one up so bad.
We went to Feel Rite after to use up Paul's scam insurance card. Why can't they just lower the premiums by $250? Anyway,we a got a lot of granola bars and questionable brain supplements. I don't really trust much in the store with the amount of woo - like the homeopathy and steroids. I don't put much stock in these pills except they may give you a little buzz.
The tour finished with Terry getting the Note 4 before we went home. Paul and I brogrammed the rest of the night.

Mike blows
The highlight of the night though was Mike's blowing showing off his blowing skills with a pinwheel.

Lab mice
(E:Paul) had a 5th monitor that I got to steal while I was over there. It's an okay monitor in terms of quality, but it has a touch screen. I got it to work with Linux with by modifying xinput in Fedora with the xinput_calibrator - you have to set the input area to just include the touch screen and not both monitors.

Total Request Rave in Toronto
The whole night was happy hardcore. We were completely sober but I had so much fun dancing with the people there and the music. (e:casey) said it's because Canadians are polite and awesome enough for that.
The next day (e:terry) wasn't feeling well, so we had breakfast in the gayborhood and went home. Still a very fun weekend.

Sameer's bachelor dinner
Jessica's friends did a really nice job organizing and decorating for the dinner. Everyone got a fortune cookie and a packet of curry powder in a little decorated box.
I felt bad that we couldn't go to the rest of the party, but we had to race out after 9 to head up to Toronto. I hope they had a good time that night and an even better ceremony in Las Vegas.

Winter market
We got a type of apple I've never seen before - Jonagold.
On the way back we found someone that drives worse than either of us.

Paddock Chevorlet scammers
When we went told them we were there to pick up the keys for our car. The desk clerk told us it was going to be $70 - wait what? It's a recall. When we called her out on it, she said "Oh, it must be our new computer system. Let me go check on this". What a scam.
We ended up paying $50 for a second key. Turns out we could have gotten one online for less than $10, and gotten it programmed and cut for another $10.
Another reason not to trust anyone involved with cars.
