It ain't what you don't know...

It’s been a rough day and I am finally sitting down with a glass of wine and basking in the quiet. First, I have been wrong about nearly everything today. So whatever it is I end up posting tonight, assume it is not true. Second, we have been without email and internet at work for over 24 hours now and it’s making my right eye a little twitchy.

Episode of Wrong, exhibit A:
Lawyer who rents office space from us: Uh, Melissa, the internet seems to be down.

Me: Oh, we’ll just restart the modem and router. That’ll do it.
[skips down the hall to perform my magic, because, of course I can handle this]

Eight hours later, two visits from tech support people and a new modem later, no internet. No email. No FaceBook. This sucks.

Episode of Wrong, exhibit B:
Staff person: Melissa, are the phones on night mode? Because we’re expecting a call…

Me: (Dismisses this as the most ridiculous idea ever) No. I never put the phones on night mode. It doesn’t make sense to put them on night mode blah, blah, blah…

One missed phone call later (from our tech support people) I sheepishly take the phones off night mode.

Episode of Wrong, Exhibit C:
Jay: Mama, can we go to the library tonight?

Me: Sure. We’ll go to such and such branch.

Jay: Yay! That’s a good one because it has a train table!

Me: No, honey. They don’t have a train table.

Jay: Yes they do, Mama.

Me: No, they don’t, buddy.

Jay: Yes, Mama. Come to the kid’s section with me and I’ll show you.

Me: Jay. They. Don’t. Have. A. Train. Table.

Well. I think you know where this is going. At least I managed to wear pants this morning and came home with two kids (both mine!) from the library. The library that, as it turns out, has a train table. (It must be new.)
