Today
My Benevolent Employer has declared a "global reset day", i.e. a day off for most of its employees. I happen to have a (relatively low-demand) on-call shift this week, so I'm not entirely off, but I'm not supposed to do anything work-related other than the urgent on-call stuff. What else shall I do with the day (and, I guess, the weekend)?

shalmestere's family photo albums - Plan what to do with the bag of hudebnik Juvenilia my mother gave me on a recent visit (high school term papers, elementary school term papers, pre-school stories I dictated to her...
- Install mini-fence around sublawn (which has historically been a lumpy rectangle of crabgrass, but now it has a cherry tree in the middle, surrounded by lots of bulbs that should come up Any Week Now)
- Ask City about the paint blazes on the aforementioned cherry tree: are they going to cut it down for the crime of having been planted without a permit?
ETA: Called 311, got transferred to somebody who allegedly knows about street trees, and she didn't know anything about blazes like this. She suggested talking to Parks & Recreation, for which she unfortunately didn't have a phone number. I looked them up on the Web, and they don't have a phone number -- nor an e-mail address -- which must save them a lot of staff time answering questions from the public. The Web site suggests calling 311. Or writing to them on paper. ✓/2
