Aw, Harry the Dirty Dog was a Jeopardy clue. I love that book.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Hooray!
All the things I think I know about natural gas are actually about propane, I think. I'm definitely more up on petroleum products in general. What little I might actually know would be from having a roommate who worked for The Gas Company 25 years ago...
So, I had to stay late for a meeting (and I didn't take a lunch today because too much to do) BUT the meeting started with my grandboss saying I must be doing something right to get this particular account to want to be doing more business with us, and ended with a nebulous plan for me to present to my boss, grandboss and great-grand boss re: this account's requirements moving forward. Pretty positive, on the whole, if also the reward for doing a good job being more work. Hopefully it will also be more money at some point. That would be nice.

Speaking of, we all just watched a keeshund puppy (think smallish dog wrapped in an enormous poofy grey and white coat) arrive at the park and promptly get rolled into a huge mud puddle by another dog.

my grandboss
Oh, I like that. I'm never sure if my boss is my supervisor or if it's the department head. Probably the department head, because I'm on one supervisor's team, but any of the supervisors can tell me to do stuff.

Drat, I can't get my heart rate monitor to work. You leave a thing lying around for an undetermined but lengthy period of time and the batteries lose all their juice. Who'd a thunk it? Fortunately, it is an easy fix (I am assuming the battery is the actual problem).
OK, enough messing around with technology, must actually put on my shoes and run.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I oneroused. I decluttered my desk drawer, trundled myself into town to help with a student's benevolence request, and then I OPENED MY MAIL from the IRS right away. It was telling me I'm overpaid. So good thing I didn't spend a week dreading that.

YAY Bob!
My blood clot is still clotting, just less clotting. More coumadin. Sigh.
Also, we're trying to get Grace a PT/OT buddy bike. Anyone who wants to help could click the link and nominate us. If we have 50 nominations we'll be entered into a drawing. If we have the most nominations, we'll win a bike outright. [link]

Too bad the site is down!
