dog pictures

 there was a dial-in meeting that began at midday, moderator was the senior leader i had met at the twins game in april. near the end there were comments bout liking somebody's dog, then some shared pictures of their dogs. hard to understand when that is not why we were meeting, and i wasn't paying attention to this when i was mostly listening to the moderator and not looking at anyone ese. the meeting ran over the time allotment. some of it was about waiting for regulator approval on an acquisition and some was about positions opening up due to retirement. as usual it was hard to know when there was something relevant to me. i am thankful i still got some work done during this time, such as overnight labels and getting checks into inter-office envelopes. i also sent an instant message saying there were checks to pick up, but said i couldn't chat due to the meeting. response was that it was fine to wait until it was done. one of the things spoken about was a pedestrian bridge hit by a truck that was taken down and it caused a traffic issue due to the road closure, it had made the news. not all checks went out, but those that needed to did. i decided to get caught up on other things, such as call about my benefits. and i knew there was an issue with the machine not sealing all of the envelopes. tried to call later in the day but was told they needed to look it up, wasn't called back. so i guess it means making it a service call the next day. i drank the can of budweiser with the evening meal so now 3 beers are waiting. later on i went on a walk and found 50 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when sheldon and raj did a mining simulation. it was followed by the one where sheldon's friend tam, from texas, visits.
