Crummy Friday afternoon.

Reports to get in, which I couldn't compile til the Project Managers got me the info (whip cracking and chasing, bleurgh)
Then lots of excel & maths
Then couldn't send because the attachments were too big

Finally got it done (did get a well done from the boss - apparently I handled it very well and more calmly than they've done in previous years)

Then 1 pint at the pub - whet my whistle for more, but everyone was on a deadline for other things.

AND - after being approved for new cat adoption there has been a suspected sighting of Dylan which raises all my hopes and feelings.
It should be a wonderful thing - but the sighting was a week ago. And occurred after he'd been missing 3 weeks. And was on my own street.

It just sounds so unlikely. I'm sure it must have been Diz.
But my hopes are up anyway and I fear another 3 weeks hope and the inevitable crash.

Yes I know I put too much emotional investment in my cats. I'm lonely.

co-workers and I went to lunch at "the trough" aka Golden Corral.

Waddled back to work.

Now we have to suffer 4 more hours, when all we really want to do is nap.

You can probably set your cell phone as an alarm. I'm just sayin'.

Flint 06-06-2008 02:33 PM

Yay I just got a new thing. I have a cell phone for 24/7, a pager for Service Center tickets, and NOW a portable phone thing for when I'm at work but you can't find me, and my cell phone isn't getting a signal, and I can't hear you paging me overhead.

I took a junky old trumpet my wife had in to a music store a friend works at, traded gossip with the friend, brought it back home & said it was too junky to be worth fixing. Then I ate lunch, mowed the grass, went out for a bottle of Tequila for our bucket of margarita's. My son's little league playoff game starts in an hour.

You can make really cool sculptures with junky old trumpets.
