Tuesday: Woke around 7:30... which seemed much too early. The alarm monitoring company was supposed to come by and replace part of the system between 8 and noon. MB headed to work. Down basement and morning practices. Moved stuff around to give the technicians access when they arrived. Shower. Email. Breakfast of eggs and such. Lost. Worked on learning the lead line to Askesis... All quite familiar. I must have learned this before. It was noon, and nobody had shown up. I called to assess the situation. They said "he's on his way." Spent an hour fussing around. At 1 pm the guy shows up. He told me he had no idea how long the job would take (in spite of the fact that every single house is having this unit replaced... so you'd think there'd be a rough estimate). I told him to leave and cancel the work order. Then I called the business and gave them a piece of my mind. I'll just do without that feature, the bastards. Feeling sleep deprived, and in a lousy mood, I set off for Everett.
Arrived with time to spare. Walked up the street and got a protein shake at a convenience store. Then back to the office. I was briefed on some paperwork, and signed my name a few times. Went to the drug-store and bought hand sanitizer. All the talk of staph infections in the news lately is triggering my OCD. Avoid doorknobs.
In H Sq, a parking spot opened up so I got a burrito. As I was heading back to my car, Al showed up. We talked about how someone had left the company without any mention being made of it. Not a terribly productive day in the office. I bought some gear for a friend. Worked on addressing a couple of other issues for a 3-rd party. Yerba. Stayed until around 9:30. I was the last one out.
Back home, and going over paperwork with MB... which brought up a bunch of stuff. But somehow it all got resolved in the end. Goodnight and down basement. Email. Now to complete the day.
