hot dogs, granola bars

 those were the two items i brought home from the potluck. i brought granola bars and thankful that some were eaten. i got an I.M. about left-over hot dogs in the afternoon so i claimed two of them. i had these two for dinner, with buns, when i got home. there was more activity than usual in the shop in the afternoon, as there was 4 people in it. my boss and a colleague showed up, at the same time the tech did. boss was asking about a check in a fraud file, we ran the check number and found out the shop never got it. i had a check set aside from it being inter-officed to us, and this was one related to finding the water-mark. colleague was there to set me up on logging in remotely, although with what i do, using the machines i use, not sure why. it sounded convoluted to have to take home the docking station as well to get logged in, so i didn't take home the laptop tonight. potluck was scheduled for one hour, but when i arrived to leave the bars in  training room next to the breakroom i was told there was a team building activity. but i didn't hear what, and we were still waiting for it to start so i went back to the shop to get more work done. about 30 minutes later i emerge again and my boss said it was fine to pause things such as check printing for a little while. i had chili, ice cream, and some other things, and was one of the people asked to draw a name for who won some company-branded items, such as a stress ball. the check backlog became larger but now the tech has done parts installation so hopefully it will go down again soon. in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 cent. the 'big bang theory' reruns where when sheldon was interviewed by the son of leonard nimoy, proven he wasn't over amy yet. it was followed by the one where sheldon asks penny what a tie on the doorknob means, when leonard is getting busy with lesley.
