assorted bits

My friend Gail had her baby last night. The girl is healthy but premature by 10 weeks, so she gets to spend the next several weeks in the hospital while she finishes growing. I really hope everything works out ok; I know how much Gail wants to be a mother. So far, so good.

At work, today was largely a day of putting out fires. They weren't usually my fires, but often I seemed to be the only person who knows where we keep the fire hose. This must change. :-) (This will change, as some of the people involved are new hires who are responsible for learning this stuff. But knowledge transfer has not been orderly.)

Yesterday a repairman was supposed to come between 8:30 and noon. Dani and I agree that a phone call at 2:10 saying he'll be over soon, with no prior contact (and no ability to track him down), does not meet expectations. Now, to see if Sears agrees with our assessment that we're due expedited service if we reschedule through them... And to prevent Dani from salvaging anything useful from a morning spent at home, the meter reader who was supposed to come between 8 and noon didn't show either. Whee. (At least Dani is set up to work from home fairly easily. I'm not.)

Congratulations to Gail and her family, friends and loved ones! I hope her daughter finishes growing as comfortably and uneventfully as possible.
