Rainy and cold.

The weather really sucked today - cold and rainy. At least I'm able to get good use from the parka my employer gave me and the rest of the team for Christmas. I don't know why I never got one of those for myself before.

Meetings dominated my day. Unfortunately, they are a necessary evil in order to understand what a client wants. It's also a time to assure the client that you're hearing them. In the middle of all this, I was able to nail down getting a new camera bag as the 2 I have were designed to fit the smaller Olympus cameras I had in the past and not the full-size SLR I have now. Ended up going with the Tenba D-12. I consulted with a guy at B&H Photo to make sure what I eventually planned to have would fit. It was between the Tenba and a Domke after I eliminated Tamrac and Lowepro from the mix. The Domke just ended up being too big for my needs.

L called today and wanted me to stop by the store she works at to look at suits and stuff that were on sale. Reluctantly, I did go by even though I would rather have gone home with the weather the way it was. There was nothing there that I really couldn't live without. I've got some $$$ shoes to pick up this weekend that kind of chewed up the clothing budget for the month so I really didn't need to be spending any more in that category. On a side note, we're supposed to have lunch one day next week. I'm all tied up the rest of this week.

Came home and made some dinner. Going to go drum for a bit now that Dubya's finished with his address.
