Ding!
So work was major busy today – I’m working on a complete redesign of the corp. website – it’s kind of exciting, actually – it’d certainly pad the ol’ resume if it gets implemented. Anyway, I reached a point where the kicking and swearing of the secretary during her transcription was too much, so I whipped out the ol’ lappy (Athena, if you’ve forgotten her name) and plugged into some music while I worked.
I was ridiculously productive today, mostly because I have to be – weeks of work have to be done by Wednesday. *sigh* Just ask me if you’d like to see what I was working on – preliminary response from those who sat still on IM long enough for me to ping them is that it’s a big improvement.
So I head home, chatting with the Lucy and the Benjamin alternately, blah blah blah – I walk up the stairs, and I quietly hear a “DING!” I am… well, you could say intimately familiar with. At the moment, the only non-human sound dearer to my heart is the squelch of modem tones. I’ve got my key in the door, when a quiet voice says, “virus database is updated!”.
Yes. I somehow packed up my laptop without shutting her down.
