Such continuous hell this mornng:
1. Attempted to install new toner cartridge into printer. Amaqzon clains it fits. I don't think so. Jen is coming down to confirm.
2. Tried to deal with automated HP Customer Service 3-4 times by phone. Sheer hell.
3. Too much time looking over HP Toner on Amazon in search of solution.
4. Too much time spent looking for toner carton after cats played with it. Under bed.
5. Removed grandma's quilt from bedding.
I am an hour behind schedule and Jen will put me furether behind.

Good morning, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #33 on:** May 27, 2025, 07:21:12 AM »

Well, here it is, the Monday that is a TUESDAY.

And it's screwing many things up. If only in my po' little mind.

I have to keep reminding myself that this is, in fact, Tuesday.

I have a rehearsal this afternoon, and a movie tonight at the Bedford Playhouse -- Bad Day at Black Rock -- which will be great to see in a theater because I don't know if I ever did. If so, it would have been at some revival house or film festival, but I have no memory of what my first time seeing that one would have been. And the Cinemascope images are so lovely.

I know next to nothing about Paul Reubens or Pee-wee Herman. The character never seemed like anything I'd have the slightest interest in, and I never saw the shows or movies. I knew about the arrest when it happened, but I probably never followed more than a news report or two back then.

Edit: I'll probably give that documentary a spin sometime soon, just to know something about what it was all about.

I'm up, I'm up - about seven hours of sleep.

Have already shaved.

I'll leave for the lunch meeting around twelve-fifteen - it's really only six or seven minutes from here.

Hello.

Jane · « **Reply #40 on:** May 27, 2025, 11:42:18 AM »

Just a very brief stop here as I just returned home and am headed out again.

Good afternoon, friends.

singdaw · « **Reply #42 on:** May 27, 2025, 12:33:09 PM »

And others.

Trial is over, verdict reached, and jury duty is done.

singdaw · « **Reply #44 on:** May 27, 2025, 12:33:47 PM »

We ended up finding the defendant guilty on one of three counts.

singdaw · « **Reply #45 on:** May 27, 2025, 12:34:00 PM »

It was a domestic abuse case.

singdaw · « **Reply #46 on:** May 27, 2025, 12:34:10 PM »

A classic she said/he said.

singdaw · « **Reply #47 on:** May 27, 2025, 12:34:40 PM »

It was an interesting experience, but I am glad it is over. We only deliberated about 2.5 hours.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #48 on:** May 27, 2025, 12:36:20 PM »

Well, the site was down around 12:30 EST.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #49 on:** May 27, 2025, 12:37:17 PM »

Jen came down, took the new toner cartridge, and slid it right into its cradle while I stood there feeling incompetet and inadequate.

Sadly those are hard to determine.

Leaving for rehearsal in a bit.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #54 on:** May 27, 2025, 02:13:27 PM »

I have two chapters to go. I had hoped to get through the last four today, but other forces prevailed.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #55 on:** May 27, 2025, 02:25:34 PM »

I was going to be leaving for the movie theeder about now, but those other forces dropped in on me, too, and there’s no way it’s happening today.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #56 on:** May 27, 2025, 02:26:53 PM »

That’s okay. I’ll take the quieter evening at home. I have to get up early tomorrow, anyhoo.

Back from a nice lunch at a proper English pub - why it's taken me this many years to try it is unknown. I had a BLTA today and it was very good, but I'll be back to try the shepherd's pie and other proper English foods. Next door, they have a proper English store with all my favorite Brit candies, so I got a few gummy things, two Cherry Ripes and a Cadbury fruit and nut chocolate bar. In England, they still use actual chocolate, unlike the crap they use here.

Why, may I ask, are we still on page two?

Time to do some writing.
