I got a letter from [livejournal.com profile] jillw - thank you, Jill!

Work was good today, as well; I got a fair bit done (somewhat in spite of myself), and at that, coding work, on the thing I'm supposedly working on. I was a bit spacy, since I got an after-hours call last night at 11:45 or so, waking me from a sound sleep. It turned out to be a confusion and I didn't have to do anything, but spent 45 minutes figuring that out, confirming it, and passing the information off to the person who did need to do something (read: could do something useful). Also found another issue that (had communication been clearer and I not been called in) would have gone unnoticed until it became a priority item (whereas now it is not). Also not mine to follow up on, so I wrote it up and the appropriate person is also chasing that.

I'm sure they appreciate me just loads, of course....

Scott is working on figuring out our sprinklers and seeing if we can get them working again. That would be nice.

And, on a sad note, my parents' cat Tips was hit by a car tonight, and died. She was a sweet, if highly nervous cat (the least-tamed of a batch of semi-wild kittens, though she could still be medicated, which is probably proof of success at domesticating her), and quite pretty. Rest in peace, Tips.

I have managed to stay off my usual route to work yesterday and today. Three more days to remember it.... (They are doing a "bit" of road construction, with 20-minute delays. My whole commute is around 20 minutes without that! Fortunately, it's out Stafford road, which means if I just hang a left there and go through north Wilsonville to the north Wilsonville exit, I bypass all the involved insanity....)
