Grr.

Remember how I was telling folks that Trogdor was giving us the finger all last week?

Well, it mooned me this morning and quit completely. I think the power supply is toast.

So.

Somehow, in the midst of a day where I really don't want to leave my desk, I have to go home, pack up the machine and take it to the shop. Time out of the office - easily two hours.

I *hate* being out of the office during normal working hours. LOATHE.

Yes, I can be called in during the weekend, I carry a cell phone and have a Special Laptop to dial in from home - but.

I like working during working hours. Working in personal business? In small bites. Between tasks. It gets to be most of my day, I resent being that Without Stuff To Do.

Seriously. I'm here to work. That's what I'm here for.

*grump* And I have to go pick up the CSA box too. And check the PO Box.

I'm very fortunate. I have an employer who doesn't bat an eye at this.

But I know it. And I'd rather be doing something Workish.

Grr.
