Home... er, work alone

For today I am the staff of the Wodonga courthouse. Which means I can bring my laptop in, plug it into the fax line during lunch and see what you guys are up to. *grins* Not that it's been exactly cruisey today - at one point I had four or five different matters all lined up at the counter, and a phone that wouldn't quit - sometimes I think there's some kind of hidden camera on me that's hooked up to some bastard in the phone compant. ;P

Any way, I'm enjoying my day so far - enough to do that time moves quickly, but not so much that I'm going insane. And I'm going to save the initiating for tomorrow - I've got email to catch up on. ;)

Speaking of communications, not one but two lovely long calls yesterday. About three hours (and I'm hoping it was three and not much over, with the billing thing) with iamgerg and then later pollymel called and kept me up way past my work-night bedtime. But it was worth it, I tell you!

(Note: Yes, I've had Coke for lunch, how can you tell?)

I'm having dinner at my parents' place tonight, then heading home for Buffy. First episode of Season Six, whoo!

And I'm off - gotta go open the doors again. :P

Watching the clock

Technically I should be able to take off now - the door's locked, the money's safely in the safe and all I need to do is hit the lights and switch off my computer - but silly me agreed to stay on until five to allow the police next door to use one of the court rooms for a meeting of some kind. D'uh me. Actually, the official closing time is five, and it's always a good idea to keep someone around in case someone from Melbourne Court calls and checks in.

Ah, it's wonderful working for the most paranoid department in the State.

Any way, I managed to get a fair bit of email answered, although the phone got on the nerves a bit after a while, ringing as it did every ten minutes. Still, things got done, and there were no great hassles. In a way, I prefer having the place to myself - sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't take on one of those one-person courts when I get back. Then I remind myself they're even more remote than here and I'm already climbing the walls with boredom. ;)

*urges the clock to go faster* C'mon, I wanna go home! Or to mum and dad's, at least.

Buffy minus five minutes...

I just hope I manage to stay awake - good food, three beers and a bubble bath have left me feeling decidedly floopy.

I have decided I hate my postie at the moment. I know there's three items in the mail for me, but as yet, no sign. I think I like it better when I don't know they're coming - at least I don't get impatient.

My headache has gone at last - took two Neurofen and the bath to do it. One of my tension headaches - I've been clenching my jaw pretty much all day, by the feel of it. Even me cheekbone and eye socket were aching. And riding home with a headache throbbing underneath your helmet is no fun, I can tell you.

Night all - have a good one.
