Jun. 25th, 2003 10:30 amYeek! So far today I've been busier than a one-armed wallpaper hanger. I've been on the phone for the last hour and a half. First I was trying to order a camera and accessories for the department, which I couldn't do all at once because of the limit on the university credit card. So I had to call them back and split the order. While I was doing that, the hotel catering department called me about the dinner tomorrow, I got two calls from two different people at the same temp agency wanting me to know that they exist, and a patient called about her daughter and mumbled so much I couldn't understand anything of the message she left.
On top of that, the campus recycling representative showed up to talk about putting bins in the lab, one of the incoming students appeared, a meeting tried to wedge itself into the same room a class is currently going on in, the Clinical Affairs office had to reschedule something that was supposed to happen this afternoon, and the general insanity that serves as background noise around here continues.
At least last night Liz and I proved that it's her freezer that didn't work, not her ice cream machine. We made chocolate ice cream with chocolate and peanut butter chips in it. It didn't quite freeze before it got late, so we probably could have eaten it with straws (providing we had had straws that wouldn't get blocked up with chocolate chips). It was very tasty anyway, though.
This morning I had to get up early to shower, and I interrupted a rather odd but pretty nifty dream about going fishing in a bookstore and catching a tennis ball, and having to keep the tennis ball away from my dog (who died when I was 16, but who just loved to play with tennis balls).
By the time Friday finally shows up, I'm going to need to get out of town. Which reminds me, I have to buy train tickets. I think the Amtrak automatic ticket machine is the greatest invention the rail industry has come up with in years. I would have missed at least two or three trains if I had had to stand in line to buy tickets.
Must go catch up with my phone tag and make a list of the stuff I should remember to do outside of work today.
