Joy of joys...

As some of you may know, I've worked at a variety of places over the last year, mostly freelance, but some employee gigs. Currently, I work for 3 different doctors between 5 practices, on a fairly regular schedule.

Today I screwed up.

I went to my usual Wednesday office, in a town about 20 miles east of mine. I got there about 7 minutes late, because I had to drop my my car off at the shop to repair the damage to the bumper from the CocaCola truck, and get a rental.

When I walked in, the 3 employees were behind the desk, looking at me all wide eyed. "You're supposed to be in Twin Lakes today," they said in unison.

"No!" I exclaimed. "You're messing with me, right?"

They shook their heads in unison like cats watching a flying toy.

"Shit!" I quickly covered my mouth with my hands, because I was worried there were patients (or another doctor) present.

"That's OK, you can swear. We have no patients today, which is why I was surprised to see you," the office manager said.

"Christ, at least tell me I don't have to be in Twin Lakes until 9!" (it was now 8:40) She called, and I didn't. But the problem?

Twin Lakes is at least 30 miles away, with 5-6 miles of in-town driving on each end. So I arrived 20 minutes late. Luckily, the first 2 patients didn't show up, so I was OK.

But I certainly needed my high blood pressure pills today!

My SO has this brilliant fucking idea.

Our keyboard has been sticking a bit... sometimes you type stuff, not working even if you hit the key over & over sometimes, but then working fine. Well, just say working again, not perfectly. I'm trying to figure out what happened.

I went away for 10 days, and it wasn't used (theoretically) in that time. So no keyboard action, after about a year of high level use.
When I came back, the desk chair (which has always worked fine) wouldn't tilt back anymore. The SO had to adjust several things before it worked again.

*hrist, this typing thin is going to be the th f e.* (this was supposed to be *Christ, this typing thing is going to be the death of me*)- I can't take it! And excuse uture typos, 'cause I ain't going bac no more.

*eats head onwall*

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
