It's WWDC day at the fruit factory. Haircut at noon to correct the faux-hawk my son helped me with that's grown out...work, work, work, then work some more, then maybe play a song at open mic tonight if I get picked. I'm working on Someday by The Strokes on ukulele. I have the guitar parts mostly down, I just need to work on the lyrics and trying to do both at the same time...

Feel like I've just taken a bottle of crazy pills talking to PG&E for an hour trying to straighten out my electrical bill. All of a sudden I'm paying for electricity where I have never paid for electricity in the past six years. Basically, I sell them more solar energy that I use. I'm looking at adding up all the energy I sent to the grid per hour and subtracting all the money I bought from the grid per hour over the course of a month.

For some reason, you can't calculate it by day, you have to calculate it by hour. Even though I show every day I send more energy to the grid than I use from the grid, I am still, according to them, a net user rather than a net supplier.

Like I said, crazy pills.

I'm curious what kind of crazy pills (so many nowadays) and how the faux-hawk looked. 

Got through telemeeting 1 already, which started rough but smoothed out in the end. One more to go, but it's with our customer service and she's pretty chill, except a bit too chatty for my tastes. At least we can gossip about the others. Then over to svale to check out the latest house developments and then up to SF for one more screener. This one I've been the most eager to see and I'm delighted that they gave me an invite.

I must go to Menlo to pick up the last remaining onsen part - the heater which needed to be disconnected last time by a pro because it had electrical and gas lines. Then over to Levi’s to pick up my FIFA credentials. Then home for some more work. I just finished my review of The Furious but I want to give it one more pass before passing it on to Kevin.
