strange times indeed

Thanks to the fabulous mtgat, I have entered myself into an art contest. I signed up for "Gingerbread Dude", second choice, "Devil's Food Cake". The ol' visual-creative muscle needs a workout, and this sounds like fun.

This work week has seemed impossibly long, which is weird, because I only worked Wednesday, Thursday and until 11:30 today (and 11:30 - 4 tomorrow).

Weird sort of day out on the roads. Lots of people indecisive about what lane to be in, driving too slow, etc. We ourselves almost got into an accident with a car riding in our blindspot until the last possible moment, then we got tapped in the rear by a girl in a beater white car (being in a solid, 1988 Chevy truck with a steel bumper, there was no damage; not to the car, either). Is the moon void of course? ::checks:: No. Hm. Well, in any case, I'm not going out again tonight.

I put together the coffee pot and went into the bathroom to get ready for work, not realizing I had neglected to put the actual pot in place. So I do the makeup thing and get dressed, then go into the kitchen to find the coffee maker merrily brewing but with no pot to put it in, it was just leaking everywhere (it has a pause and pour feature). I put the pot in place but the resulting brew was full of grounds.

Now waiting for pot #2. (Technically, cup #2, as I only make enough to full my travel cup, so it could have been a LOT worse.) And yes, the pot's in place.
