On Friday, Electricity, Automatically Flushing Toilets, and Other Randomness
I’ve been meaning to post most of the week because I have the spiffy new set ups and stuff – and the cross-posting feature… but… I share today’s Bob the Squirrel because our area’s had weird power issues resulting in long outages and folks talking solar panels. We’ve been fortunate.
Don’t worry — I’m fully caffeinated… but to my husband, THIS is why I’d freak out over not having power…
Full weekend planned. Being close to the New Cowboys Stadium on JONAS BROTHERS Day means we’re spending the day in Plano. We’ll be attending Rachel Caine’s signing at Legacy Books (which is awesome), you should check it out, and then a party with the Redheads. We shall be no where near the mayhem of tweenage girls and The Jonas Brothers… Sunday we’re taking Dad to Babe’s (it’s a family-style, mostly fried food yummy place, I go once every 5-10 YEARS) and some Jimmy’s family’s going, too. But that means the house is clean – enough for immediate family. Which makes me happy.
Next week, I’ll be on line in a limited capacity because I’m putting in extra hours at work so I can take Friday off for ApolloCon (we take the whole day so we can have lunch at Todai) and still make up the time. They’re letting me work from home from 8 – 9:30 then do my full 6 hour day at the office (I don’t have keys and don’t want keys). With lunch and the travel break, it should work out well. I like it.
There’s been an on-going “ARG” in my head since I’ve started my new job, and it has nothing to do with THE JOB, but the bathroom in the building. I DO NOT LIKE and DO NOT WANT automatically flushing toilets. I’m sure somewhere along the line there was some brilliant “Green” reasoning behind automatically flushing toilets, but I’m not seeing it. The ones at work? I’ve had one flush on me multiple times while I’m still using it. OR not flush at all until I’m halfway out the bathroom door (not stall, entire room), making me look like a lazy, gross, and disgusting person. I don’t see the point…
There’s that’s random… 😎 But Fridays are for Random…
