As always, working out of the house was better today than it was on Friday. I don't know if it's because Fridays are the end of a long week or if Mondays are after a weekend after a long week, but Mondays always seem a little easier, they go by faster than Fridays do when I work from home.

Or maybe it's the TV. I had it turned on this past Friday, but I didn't have it on at all until Governor Gavin came on at noon. I don't get a chance to watch his news conferences at work, so it's nice to watch them while I'm at home.

All the clients I spoke with today seemed to be in good spirits, which was really nice. It also made for a good day that I had a pretty good playlist going: Burt Bacharach, Jack Jones, Dean Martin, Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald… you know, 50's and 60's stuff. I had that on most of the day, then put on some 70's disco and R&B. I can listen to music at work, but it's gotta be on low, I don't want to disturb any of the other 6 people still working there, LOL. At home I can play as loud as I like.

I've always loved the song "Wives and Lovers" by Jack Jones, but I recently paid attention to the lyrics...Jeez! You couldn't get more misogynistic! I guess it was just a different time. I still like the song though, there's just something about it. I guess you can hate the lyrics, but like a song, right?

I had a client call when I had "Shake Your Groove Thing" playing kinda loud. I had to scramble to get the volume down before they heard it, HA!

The weekend was on the quiet side, my big errand was going to Target to pick up a prescription refill and buy a new mop and bucket. Woo-Hoo! I got to spend my Sunday mopping my kitchen and bathroom floors! That's living BABY!!! At least they're clean. I've been using a Swiffer Wet Jet to clean them, but they always looked a little dirty after I was done, so I wanted to get a real mop (I threw my old one out when I moved out of my last place). I'm glad I did! The floors, especially the kitchen, were dirty, if the water was any indication (which it definitely is!).

Tomorrow is probably going to be a crummy-but-not-too-bad day. I have a client that I gave forms to back in early December that finally got them back to me in early April. Well, in the interim, the forms had been updated, so I couldn't accept them. I'd been following-up with them every few weeks and they were always "in the mail this afternoon", so I finally gave up. I figured I was only making them angry asking for docs, so they'd get them back when they could. Too bad it ended-up being 7 days after they were updated, D'Oh! So now I have two conference calls scheduled for early tomorrow morning (the first one is at 5:30am) one with our accounts department and the other one with legal so I can see if there was any way to salvage what they gave me. I'm definitely not looking forward to this.

At least the weather is cooling down....
