What Is Carole Up To Now?

Carole is wandering the world. Having had a couple successful careers, as a software engineer then a technical marketer, it's time to take a sabbatical and plan for the next big thing. New philosphy: "Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death."

We got the bikes!

May 30, Monday. Back to my computer problems. Today another coworker, Roy, brought in a voltmeter to work. Logan used it to check the power supply, and it turned out it wasn’t the power supply, but the connector I was using to plug in with. Somehow that had gotten broken; it was working at the beginning of the week. So I’m finally back online.

And the bikes came! Logan called first thing in the morning and was told they’d be delivered between 12:30 and 1:30. He came home for lunch, and just as he was pulling in, the DHL guy was loading the last bike onto a hand truck. They loaded them into the car, and Logan drove them down into the parking garage. Getting from the garage to the storage space involves 5 doors and 3 hallways. But we finally got them stowed and I’ll count that as my upper body workout for the day.

Called the bank, and they could take us at 15:15 to open an account. We got there just in time, and it took about 30 minutes for all the paperwork. We tried to deposit money in the new account, but, … it was closing time by then and all the cashiers were closed. They still didn’t want our money!

Logan spent the evening putting the bikes back together and testing them out.
