It was a really busy week at work. Not so busy at home.
But at home there was no internet service, so no posting.
Actually, I could have plugged into the phone, but was too lazy to take that step.
Our internet provider was on vacation, and the service needed a call apparently.
Whatever, the birds have been fed and the service is back.
As I said, the week at work was busy, although not all strictly aimed at providing the best water and sewer service possible. It included:
- Learning that Blucher means glue in german. Think Young Frankenstein and Frau Blucher. Every time her name was said the horses whinney. Never got that joke before, although we did train a young Rey to whinney when ever we said Blue Car (the name of our younger Honda at that time).
- Taking a trip to the hospital. No, not for me, but following the medics transporting a co-worker. She was from swooning to the ground by another co-worker that leapt over our front counter in time to catch her, and several other co-workers leaping in to action to call 9-1-1, assist with chairs and coordinating the mayhem. I think the first aid training we do every year really paid off. Everybody reacted correctly. And everything is fine, just a mix-up in medication resulting in extreme sleepiness and low blood pressure. And nobody hit a fire hydrant.
- And other than the trip to the hospital a week in which I did hardly any driving to and from work. Actually feel a bit guilty about that since I have the great gas-mileage car, and my carpooler doesn’t.
- Rain, lots of it. The hard type that makes big puddles in the road and windshield wipers a true necessity.
- Dave Matthews, of the Dave Matthews Band, birthday celebration. A co-worker is a DMB super-fan. We had cupcakes and DMB Magic Brownies Ice Cream (Ben & Jerry’s). And t-shirts to wear. The birthday is actually today. Point, DM actually has a home in Seattle, not too far from ours. Maybe we’ll take a walk today.
- The W-2’s are ready, the W-2’s are ready! I am actually excited to get the information into the tax forms to see whether our finnagelling (sp?) of finances at the end of the year was successful in saving us from a huge tax bill.
Of course none of that is really work. But I was busy on work most of the time.
And the sun is out, about 22-hours ahead of schedule.
