Good: Last week on Tuesday when I called the number AT&T promised me for the house I received an error message saying the phone number was "disconnected or no longer in service." When I called it at noon this Saturday I got a message saying "This phone number is not yet in service," which told me that I was in the local switch. When I called it this morning it rang seven times, then went to voicemail! AT&T said they would have it connected on the 20th, and boy, they weren't kidding. Idly I find myself wondering if it actually went live at midnight...

Bad: My back hurts a great deal this morning. That behemoth microwave is to blame, I just know it! The emitter horn probably weighs half as much as I do. Not only is it heavy, but it's awkward with most of the weight listing to one side. That just makes it much more likely you'll pull a muscle trying to move the stupid thing, and undoubtedly that's what happened to me.

Disturbing: I got into the office this morning at 0705. When I made my way to my cube I noticed my manager's office was open and he was at his desk, typing away on that laptop of his.... and whistling. There should be a law against being that cheerful at 7:05 in the morning on a workday.
