Shuffle

We’re doing the conference call shuffle around here today.

I have a meeting at 12:30. I’ll be there. But wait, now I have a second meeting at the same time. You go to this one and I’ll go to the other one. But wait, the first meeting is cancelled. Good, I’ll go to the other meeting. But wait, that meeting is moving and another meeting is taking its place.

Monday, Monday. Can’t trust that day. Just don’t do what they did on Friday. Don’t book me into a meeting at 1:00pm. That’s my lunch time. Pretty please don’t mess with my lunch time.

Transitions

My glasses have those transitions lenses. You know, they tint themselves in bright light so they act as sunglasses when needed. When the light is dimmer the lenses un-tint themselves.

Yesterday we got an inch or two of snow. Not much, but enough to need to clean it up. I did a lot of it yesterday when I went out to the store. It snowed enough afterwards that everything was covered again. I went out and shoveled it all this morning, including the path to the side of the house where we keep the trash barrels and in front of the fire hydrant that’s on the end of our property. I also put some ice melt down on the driveway. We’re good to go. Our personal snow removal is complete.

If you’ve ever been outside after a fresh snowfall you know that it is super bright. If the sun is out, it reflects off the snow and everything around you is super bright. The transitions lenses come in handy on days like this.

I’ve been back inside for 15 minutes now and the lenses have yet to un-tint themselves. It’s like I am walking around at midnight with all the lights off.

Fun.
