the dangers of hubris

[jwgh]

This morning, I decided to follow up on my earlier post and take a picture of myself in my bathrobe. I was working from home, fancy-free, not wearing any pants ... here I am. See how content I was?

(I say content, but I suppose some might say 'smug'.)

Of course, immediately after that my Internet connection started to go all wonky. At first I was getting 70% packet loss, and then, after restarting my router, I couldn't connect at all. I called Cox customer support, did various troubleshooting stuff, and ultimately made an appointment for them to come out and check things out tomorrow between 3-5 pm.

So now I am working in exile. I currently look like this:

I'm looking noticeably less content (or smug for that matter), aren't I?

(This is not a plea for sympathy, because I wouldn't expect anyone who doesn't normally work at home to have much.)

There appears to be a strong correlation among pants, stress, and discontent.

i think if i didn't work in an office i would never wear pants.
although technically today i am wearing a skirt.

Ok, so you're in a Seattle's Best, but clearly you are not in the one in Providence Place (where I also clearly am not), so where ARE you?

I'm at Garden City, land of free parking.

I was actually thinking that I should go to Providence Place, but my recollection was that you had today off (and were planning to go to SNB this evening as a result). Did I get the week wrong?

I'm also going to need to go someplace to work tomorrow until around 2 pm or so, so if you'll be at Providence Place tomorrow I will go work there.

I do have today off AND will be at SnB! I just was wondering where you were because I recognized the SBC logo in the background, but we have no windows of that size.

I work tomorrow, but not until 3. So... my ability to buy you a beverage before that is a little bit compromised.

[jwgh]

Oh, you said you weren't at Providence Place either. Never mind.

Hmm, I see that you are working tomorrow, but not until 3 pm, so we shall pass each other like ships in the night. Bother.

[nervousmotion.livejournal.com]

Yes. Bother indeed. And I see that I should read all the comments before replying. *sigh*

I will see you tonight at SnB though!
