Today at work we tore up sidewalk in front and on the side of 400. In total, we did about twelve squares of sidewalk. We filled and emptied the dumptruck three times. I was the primary loader of hunks-of-cement which means I get regular dinner (tomato sandwich on toast, mayo on BOTH slices of bread) and late dinner (to be determined) both. I do not know how many calories it takes for a human to load a dumptruck with hunks of sidewalk, but it's a lot.

Update on the missing CDs -- the bank lady (Sandy at the West Shore Branch) says, "There's nothing in the affidavit database showing that you redeemed the certificates without having the certificates. I've put in a request to the escheating department but there's a lot of research involved and it may take several days to get any answers." (How many people besides me translated that last part as "Don't call me every other fucking day. We're working on your measley $1200 problem."? :P I told her I'd call next Wednesday to see if there was any progress. I can't, of course, call later than Wednesday because I'll be in Amsterdam for ten days. If this isn't resolved by then, I hope that the bank lady doesn't think I've given up and gone away just because I'm not calling her every other day to see how things are going.)

( More fun than I'd have thought possible for $1200... )
