What a Day!

So, work was... well, shall we say... interesting... today. Nothing particularly went wrong, just a whole bunch of stuff conspiring to make the day unusual and crazy.

Part of that was the maintenance testing of our locked and alarmed exit doors, causing ridiculously loud alarms throughout the building for an extended period of time. This was closely followed by the AFC homes around us testing their fire alarms, which sends an overhead page in our building (we are required to respond to the houses).

If that wasn't crazy enough, it was the monthly theme meal for the residents, which brings in a lot of visitors and sends more people than normal to the dining room. That huge dining room was packed solid and noisy! I work on a low-stim unit, so this seemed exceedingly loud to me... That might be a hint that I'm getting old. Nah!

On the way home I realized I'd left my house keys with my son (so he could get in the house and not have to wait on the porch for me after school), and he had an after-school club meeting, meaning I was locked out of my own house! Solution: called my mom & we met for coffee, then I picked up my son after his meeting.

At least the iPhone OS5 update went smoothly, and the Red Wings won tonight... Now I just have to hope for a smoother workday tomorrow, and clear weather Saturday afternoon (outdoor portrait shoot). My fingers are crossed!
