It was not too good of a day today. At work, I found out that almost half of the staff were laid off. There was a real feeling of sadness at the place. It was not nice to be there today. Also, I planned on a vacation for next week. I called someone who will be taking my place while I'm gone. I wanted to go over a couple of things. When I called he seemed to be busy at the moment and told me that he'd call back. He never called back. I don't like the sign of this. It's not like him to do that.

After work I was going to go on a bike ride for the first time in a few days. My bike had been in the shop for repairs. I discovered a couple of things that were not right. I rode the bike to the shop and a guy there fixed those problems for me. It was nice of him to do it, but it was an unexpected inconvenience.

My only friend is gone for a long weekend and is halfway across the country. He'll be back on Tuesday night. On Wednesday he said that he has a doctor's appointment and asked me if I could take him there. I didn't know about that until tonight. He can't drive because he can't see. I was upset that he didn't tell me that ahead of time.
