Well, in the midst of adding themes to my gmail and making a second cup of tea just to have something to do for a few minutes I got to help someone out with my mad excel skillz, so the afternoon isn't an entire waste.

And, in other gardening news, I found the vegetable peeler that went missing last year. It was in the compost.

I feel like that happens to vegetable peelers a lot.

I just watched Pumpkin lift the brown sugar container and swing it around (she reached through the shelf and hooked the latch.) I have no idea WHY she did it, but she was damned pleased with herself.

I won't go into excessively technical details about multiple networks on multiple shared drives and working through remote connections, but I just want to state that I'm so proud of my mad support skillz just now in a situation that initially had me freaking out from the complexity. I've been trying to be more reassuring to myself not to get overwhelmed by the big picture but break weird shit into recognizable components, and it's starting to work.

I would say that an unattended easy to lift cash box will tempt people just not paying won't. Ideally, I'd have something along the lines of a really heavy locked box with a slot, so stealing the money would be a lot of work, and then empty it at lunch, so there was not too much at any one time. A behavior economist rights about this - an unattended apple stand that did this - the farmer trusted that most people would pay for their apples but he did not want to make it easy to run off with the money.

Way to go, Connie!
And Pumpkin. That does sound like an accomplishment.
I have a task but I can't start it until someone else gives me a crucial piece. Any bets on whether that will happen before 5?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go, Connie!

That reminds me that when I was looking at vintage flatware on eBay, a LOT of the listings said the pieces had no disposal damage. Which kind of made me laugh and also feel better about my own disposal-damaged flatware!

No bet.

Good call, didn't happen. Of course.
