After returning from Mexico, I had a lot of things to take care of. I got lots of mail in my office: A new miniSD card and a new SIM for my iPAQ, an American Express credit card, a and VISA debit card. I also had to print a paper I have to review and read a backlog of Hebrew e-mails I couldn't read on my iPAQ (I still have a backlog of blog posts to read).
After taking care of all that in Stanford and eating lunch, I headed for the Social Security office in Redwood City. After I few wrong turns I have finally arrived and had to wait in line for about an hour, so I read the paper I have brought with me. When my turn finally arrived, I submitted the form and was told I'd get a social security card that's valid for employment in six weeks, however the number will remain the same.
Two blocks from there is a California DMV office, where I applied for a driver's license and passed the written exam (with only one mistake). I was issued a temporary license on the spot and scheduled a driven test for two weeks later.
After finishing these errands, I returned to Stanford and joined another event of the Stanford Jewish community, held in the Sukkah. There I met another new post-doc (only a week here) that knew me from FishEye. I told him some useful information about getting a car and a driver's license and we exchanged e-mails.
The event ended at 9pm, and it was just time to go see House on FOX. It seems that the TV method of seeing shows has the major disadvantage of having commercial breaks interleaved with the show, however you can see shows only 3 hours late (we're on the west coast) and before they arrive on file sharing.
Today I came to the office early as I forgot the charger of my iPAQ and my battery has run out. I'm still waiting for the extended battery I ordered to arrive. No special plans for today, though I do plan to begin doing actual research.
P.S. check out the posts from Mexico, as I have added links and pictures.

ReplyDeleteWhen you return from a trip, there is always a heap of work waiting for you. When I took a trip to my home country during my Ph.D., it was a similar situation when I returned. As soon as I got back, I found out my dissertation was due in a few weeks but thankfully I was saved by a friend’s advice when he suggested me to Buy Phd Dissertation - which was the best I could have done at that time.

ReplyDeleteI completely understand the struggle of managing errand day, especially with Anemia Dubai. The fatigue and low energy levels can make simple tasks feel overwhelming. It's essential to plan ahead, prioritize tasks, and ask for help when needed. Take care of your health, stay hydrated, and consider incorporating iron-rich foods into your diet to better manage anemia. Wishing you a productive and healthy errand day!
