They're riding hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet

rolanniWell! What an exciting day, to be sure.
It was 89F/31C -- far too hot to even think about eating lunch -- in the Secretarial Garret by the time I threw in the towel for the day. I'm not sure how hot it actually got outside, but I suspect we hit 90F/32C. Yes, we here in the Great Northeast are Hot Weather Wimps.
My missions for the day involved requisitioning new telephone numbers, transferring old numbers, office relocations, furniture allocations, making work orders, and timelines for moving this one who can't move until this other one has been shifted who isn't going anywhere until the end of July -- and all the maddening minutiae attending moving faculty in, out and around campus. I have seven heads to juggle this year, and I am ashamed to admit that I broke down and made a spreadsheet, so no one would fall through the cracks. I should probably make a flowchart, too.
In-between Perfesser Jugglin', I defrosted the communal refrigerator, a task that isn't specifically mine, but doesn't appear to be anyone else's. Since I don't want to deal with the fallout from the fridge experiencing Catastrophic Ice Buildup and burning up its poor little motor, I suppose that means I blinked first. I will say that the glacier melted right fast in today's conditions. The job was done and the fridge turned back on before I left for the day.
On the way home, I stopped at the bank and asked the nice customer service lady to please turn on Bill Pay for me, which she did. I can't access it until sometime after 8 p.m. tomorrow, but when I can, we'll have us some fun. Apparently, I have the option of scheduling automatic or manual payments, so this may work! Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dancinghorse and everyone else who spoke of the Wonder that is Bill Pay.
The Expanding Universe Contest continues to draw eager participants. Have you put your name in the hat yet?
Here at home, the cats are melted, while I'm enjoying the cooler climate, and a glass of ice tea.
Now, it's time to open the file and get with Ghost Ship.
