Room For All

[Jaebius]

Good morning, all! How are you? Cool start again here for the day, possible rain showers today. At least no need for the shovel here yet.
We gather once again around the Coffee Cart for shat, support, and community. Meanwhile we drink tea and coffee, and enjoy the productions of our Wonderbaker, who this morning has baked cinnamon rolls for us to enjoy. The tea water is boiling, the coffee is freshbrewed, and the rolls are warm from the oven. All is ready, everybody is welcome. Come, join in the fun!

Yay! More shat! And cinnamon rolls

The Wonderbaker sure knows how to help us start our day! Thanks.

I took my car in for winter tires and an oil change yesterday...scheduled appointment for 10:00 but I brought it in early because I had a doctor's appointment...needed my husband's car to go to that. I dropped the car off and walked home, about a 15 minute walk. I hung around the house all day waiting for the phone call and finally at 4:30 I called and asked: If I start walking there now, will the car be ready when I get there? "I was just going to call you....I got swamped and it won't be ready until tomorrow morning." I was disappointed more by the fact that he hadn't called earlier to let me know. Then I could have gone for a walk, or done some other things without waiting for that phone call. I know, I know...I could have given him my cell phone number, but I so rarely answer that....

shat

Thought that was the past tense for something that happened in the room's washrooms (and some threads ).

Grey and drizzly here. Meh. I'm feeling it physically, too. On the upside, had the delightful experience of discovering a new (to me, they've been around about a decade and have 5 studio LPs plus a live album) band last night. Saw a concert video on YouTube with an interesting title, turned it on thinking I would just try a song or two, and ended up watching the first 35 or 40 minutes. Band is a neo-psychedelic/prog act from Greece called Naxatras.

LOL. When I had mine in on Tuesday for the same thing, lunch came and went and I still hadn't heard from them. I called and "yeah, it's ready. We left a message." Checked and there were no missed calls on messages on my cell (which is the number they have). Then I clued in. Somehow, I had the phone on "Airplane Mode". Turned that off and bang, two missed calls and messages. Way to go, ape. I use a garage that's walking distance from my office so wasn't a big deal, just weird because they are usually pretty prompt about calling.

I sometimes wonder if I'm losing it because of constant changes in settings on devices ... is there an artificial fault?

In my case, it was probably fat fingers hitting the wrong button when I was trying to activate or deactivate something else.
