Yep, solid rain all over the Seattle region. Classic. Still headed to the hills. Cannot let the weather dictate activities around here in the winter. You’ll never leave the house. Unless of course it means snow on the slopes!

 

Good morning, Everybody.

Hope your weeks are progressing well. So far so good on this end, but it was pretty cold this morning. 3* when I came to work 4 hours ago.

 

Perk to living in the mountains, right?

 

I wish I had snow to shovel. We've been cold, but no precipitation to mention. A couple inches a couple times. We are in for a terrible summer if it doesn't pick up. That, or we need monsoon rains through spring and summer.

 

Said no one ever

 

Nah, I really do. This is some bad news drought that is going to be hitting us this year if things don't change.

 

Did they use enough yellow tape?

 

No. They should have done this.

 

It rained until we got to the mountains, then it dried up and was even sunny for part of the day.

 

Looks like it was a fun way to spend the day. Any wildlife sightings?

 

Nope. It was a little noisy the first place we went:

The other pic was from another location but nothing came out to check out the Tundra.

 

Good morning, Everybody.

You're only a day away from Friday. Keep your head down and the pedal to the floor!

 

Yesterday was a good day to take off. I only had about 40 emails this morning and none were fires. Purged those in 15 minutes and was off doing real work before my second sip of hot caffeine.

Replaced my OEM windshield wipers yesterday afternoon. Was really impressed they lasted so long. Normally wipers last me about 5-6 months. A clean windshield is an OCD of mine, so I replace them when the first streak appears. Normally that streak is about 1/8" wide and right in my line of sight. Drives me nuts. Was driving in the rain yesterday morning and realized the entire wiper wasn't giving me a clean swing. Never had a wiper last me long enough that the entire blade fails.

...must resist the one-wiper jokes...

 

I am probably about due to replace mine as well. Then again, if we never get any sky water.....

 

Today's my Friday!
7 hours left and I'm

 

Even better! It's Monday number 2 for me, but I love my job. It's kinda nice to not be stuck at home right now.

 

Agree, balance is good.
I love going to work and also the hugs I get from my 2 girls when I get home is priceless.

 

On hold with another company to find out if/why they disconnected a circuit.....

 

At least they have actual music on their hold instead of the elevator music. The "your call is important" crap every 30 seconds is getting old though.

 

Yeah, that crap is horrible. Or having to push 1 every few minutes to remain on hold.

 

I gave up after 30 minutes and left a message. They've not called back yet. The guy on the next shift will follow up in an hour if they don't get back to us.

 

The option to have the call centre phone you back when someone is available is the greatest invention of this century.

 

If they actually ever called back, you might be right. Lol

 

I think I had it happen once it twice.

Now that I think of it, I'm trying to remember if that was the IT department for the company I used to work for.

 

Or if they actually know how to use the system and don’t disconnect as soon you explain the reason for your call
It is a nice option though

 

Yes, it is good...but it conflicts with the anti-spam tech on our cells. I've had calls go direct to voicemail because I forgot to turn off my call filter. So the cycle started all over again. I've also missed calls because it took hours and I was off doing something more important. It is better, but not perfect.

 

This was all for work on desk phones, but I see all your points.

I'm off to bed. Hope you all sleep well.
