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....
