Thursday

I don’t know that that picture really says it all about today, but I also doubt there’s much else to say about it. It was a Thursday. No travel except to the office, nothing much about that to report. Lot of looking for reviewers, sending out e-mails to authors, that kind of thing.

Meanwhile, the house phone is still down, despite the tech leaving a note on the door yesterday claiming it would be back up that night. Last I could learn from Verizon, another tech was scheduled to come out on Saturday, which I think brings it to a full two weeks that our phone service has been out. That Verizon makes a habit of this kind of behavior, in no small part to encourage customers to move to FIOS rather than repair the existing lines, doesn’t make it any better. Whoever is at the other end of their Twitter account was friendly enough, initiating contact and then actually responding to my complaint. But he/she also couldn’t tell me anything more than what I could find out via Verizon’s not terribly helpful website.

Hopefully by Saturday. Fingers crossed.
