After the excitement at work yesterday, there was no way today could compete! It was a dull, Dull, DULL day. For the first 3 hours it was just two of us in the entire office. We each had music on kinda loud (who were we gonna bother?) and the phones were quiet. My boss got in to make it a trio, then about two hours after that, a couple of the other folks came in for a bit. Actually, one of them hadn't been in the office for a few weeks (he thought his wife had the virus), so it was weird seeing him with his bushy hair and big smile, just happy to be out of the house. He's the step son of the guy who passed out yesterday, so he drove him in.

The best bit was, the kid made a production about going down the hall to the mens room and propping open our door as he'd forgotten his key and didn't want to walk the long way. He was gone for A WHILE. I started to think maybe he went downstairs to the lone food truck in our area or something, he was gone so long. Finally, he came back and we were teasing him. He wasn't saying anything and his cheeks were red and he had a big nervous smile on his face. I said "What did you do?" and he says "I may have clogged the toilet in the mens room". As we all have the sense of humor of a group of 5 year-olds, we burst out laughing. How do you not know for sure that you clogged a toilet? He was in there so long because he was trying to figure out how to fix the situation, LOL!! My boss shouts from his office "Don't you know you're supposed to flush as you go?" The poor kid! Then I had to call the building to send someone up. They start asking me questions about the clog and I have to say, really loudly "Why, I don't know how bad it's clogged, let me ask the person who reported it" and "I'm not sure if there's water on the floor or not, hang on...". We will never let him live it down, HA! He's such a skinny little hipster kid, I would have thought one of our more robust gentlemen in the office would have jammed up the pipes. He took our ribbing in stride though. He's a good kid.

Then it started to get warm in the office. I think, as there are so few tenants actually coming in to such a large building, they aren't always turning on the air and it got into the 80's in downtown yesterday and today, so it was stuffy. We're going to have to call tomorrow and ask for a little air. My end of the floor faces south, so we get a lot of sun. Beautiful view, but a lot of sun.

Ah well, looking forward to tomorrow, not for any particular reason. Just looking forward to a new day.

Stay safe and healthy you guys! And in the words of my boss, "Always flush as you go"
