If Wishes were Horses
The bad week is upon us, so fingers crossed, internets!
And five things make a post--
1. I got appointed Technical Support Judge for the election(s). You can stop laughing now. However, the criteria seemed to be whether I knew the difference between a USB and Ethernet connection. And I do! So tomorrow I have to be at my precinct at 5:30 in the a of m. No cell phones, but I don't know about my other toys. Once I get the things set up, it should just be changing paper and general helpfulness until shutdown at 8 pm. I have manuals (with pictures!) to study.
2. Wednesday is the much-dreaded lecture for the graduate program. The slides are set, the exam questions written (although not the answers...must remedy that today), and my butterflies are in strike formation ready to go.
3. I found a phone I liked and may make the leap into the mobile internet age next weekend. Mine is no longer making sounds, poor baby, although it does vibrate like the dickens. Keep missing calls, which is not always a bad thing. Haven't heard from the Client from Hell since Friday. (Note: I had asked her to submit a written proposal for this project, and not to call me especially on Friday since I had a complicated all-day experiment. She only called twice. On Friday.)
4. I apparently have a telepathic connection with the Crazy!Dog, as I hear him barking to go out in the middle of the night/early morning when no one else does. His mind-bark gets me up (or I get R up when I can wangle it) and we find him snoozing on the couch. Hmm. I personally think he barks, waits until he hears someone moving, then jumps back up on the couch and pretends to be sleep. R thinks I'm dreaming. I am suspicious that R has reported me and I will soon be forcibly inducted into the PsiK9Corps.
5. The story I finished seems to suck at this moment so it's going to lie about until I hit the 'not so suck' phase and can post it. Another one that's been on hiatus has raised his hand tentatively, asking to be allowed to go on. I will decide its fate later.
