Thursday Threesome (or see thursday3some)

"When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do." -- Walt Disney

Onesome: When you're curious- Is there a specific subject you're especially curious about? A person? A region of the world? An animal? A field of study?

Whatever runs in front of me just then? Seriously, my interest moves from thing to thing pretty easily. Right now it's XML, which was handy when I was researching and working on an XML-related design for work, and is now sort of become a side hobby as that was a very simplistic usage and I'm curious about others.

Twosome: you find lots of interesting- What do you consider your most interesting trait/ feature?

Er...I hate questions like this, for the record. I doubt it actually is, but I'm going to go with my long hair, which is immediately visible at least. I really hate questions like this, they're stupid. (Maybe my grouchiness counts? Either way, moving ON--)

Threesome: things to do- What's on your list of things to do everyday, whether you want to or not? Filing, phone calls, homework, chasing around after kiddos, cooking, cleaning, etc.

Well, I suppose "eat" and "sleep" and "breathe" count, though I seldom don't want to do any of those things. I don't pay bills every day, I don't clean every day, I don't go to work every day, etc. I certainly do those things weekly, but the question was every day, so the answer has to stay to things that are required for continued living, methinks. :)

Yargh! Weather. Otherwise good day.

Today was not bad. I got to come home early, and I thought that was a treat till I got here. Summer with a vengeance, it was freaking hot. I vegged about the house and did far less than I'd usually do with an evening. But I did get the bills paid, spent some time writing, and I think I was vaguely okay to talk to when I was actually at the keyboard (not often). Feel like I'm melting. Cold wet cloths are your friends.

Not that I am complaining completely. I still got to come home early, and I got my grocery shopping done and stopped at the library on the way home. But I am complaining a little, 'cos getting out earlier would've been neater still if it hadn't been a furnace here when I got home.

Basically, our network in our office went flop at about 2:30. By 3:15 it still wasn't back up, I'd nibbled my way around the tasks that I needed to do that could be done without the network, and someone else had taken the daytime phone home with them (they had to connect to a client site and were only 5 minutes from the office). This is good. During a network outage, the daytime phone "belongs" to whoever's on it, but gets handed to whoever lives closest if it actually rings. The guy who took it was one of the two options if it had rung, and frankly, we had no news on the network. I hope it's back when I get in tomorrow!

So I headed out early. Only time all week I'll get to - the tasks preempted by the network outage and some other issues will all need to be done tomorrow if possible. Acketh!

Finished reading Shadow and Light by Anne Bishop (sequel to The Pillars of Creation). Excellent book. I've activated a hold on The House of Gaian (third in the trilogy) now and am looking forward to getting it! (Yes, I'm going to end up buying SaL and presumably HoG, but I will read them first, all the same. :)

The radio personalities this afternoon were talking sadly about how it will cool down for the weekend. YAY!!!! They can be sad all they want, I on the other hand will be rejoicing....
