This past weekend was pretty wonderful; a shop owner likes my glass and will be carrying it on a consignment basis, my oldest actually participated and behaved at soccer practice, my youngest moved up to “the big boy bed” and didn’t even fall out, and finally I got a nice sized order for drawer pulls.
Then Monday happened.
Oh sure, it started off well enough. While I was waiting for programs to open, tests to run and the like, I was taking care of other stuff in the down time. My cell phone was tethered to the main computer to sync and charge a bit when it rang, it was my business insurance agent. That’s where the good parts end. The cable knocked over my coffee onto the work laptop, spilling on the keyboard.
This lead to a day of fighting with the machine, it’s typing random letters, overheating, some keys don’t work, etc. Even using an external keyboard wasn’t much better since it would randomly decide to take over and start pounding out a thousand ‘n’s, faster than I could erase them.
Something came up late in the day that disrupted plans, and then I didn’t even have to really attend this event, so it was a disruption for nothing.
Tomorrow, after work, I was planning on a torch session. My customer’s not in a hurry, but I want to get this order done before things get too hot out in the shop, but now I have to go to the office, so that’s out.
It’s always bad timing.
