Daily grind

Continuing the fun streak that my non-work life has been experiencing lately, last night I started the sink filling to do the dishes...then got distracted by the news coverage and only noticed the overflow forty-five minutes later, by which time my kitchen and the bathroom which is through the wall from it had flooded. I spent the next hour or so mopping with towels and a mop, until I'd gotten enough of the water out that evaporation over the next couple of days could take care of the rest. Joy.

For once, I woke up before the alarm was due to go off (due to the cat wanting back in) so I got up and dressed ten minutes early.

Today, thanks to more room disruption at "Many Changes Instantly," we're not in a classroom at all but in one of the cubicle bays, where at least we can log into our training accounts and do computer-assisted training and stuff. The cubicles are pretty decent...usually shared between a couple of shifts, each of which gets to do some personalization. I'm thinking of getting a Demotivators calendar to hang in my cube...there are enough of the motivational things around that Demotivators parody that it'll be interesting to see how long it takes before anyone notices. :)

Confronted by a bit of a problem which necessitated consultation with both my brother and my parents, I suddenly realized...I had no idea whether my cellphone service featured three-way calling. Since it was such a common feature these days, I figured I'd bop over to the AT&T Wireless site to check it out...and son of a gun, I do have three-way calling.

So I just had a nice ten minute conversation with both my brother and my Mom. Three-way convos are fun. I need to use this feature more often...if only I can think of multiple people I want to call at the same time. :)

One of the more amusing demotivators...
