Countdown!

While my brother and his husband are counting down the days to take possession of their new house, I'm still counting down to my new hot water heater ... of course we don't have a scheduled delivery/installation time, so it may be we'll be good to go in less than 24 hours, or we could still be waiting for the installer to show up.  I hope they are in the morning but not TOO early as I need Maxx to be home from work, so we can get the hot water tank drained (we have to wait until last minute as we'll have to turn off the water to the whole house to do so, no way to tell which valve is which under the house and last November we had to turn off the house water to be able to effect our hot water tank repairs at that time).

But ... no more waiting for my IP phone for use for work from home!  My supervisor popped in for a home visit today and got the system up and running on my work computer, so I now have the means to make outbound calls without using the home phone (no need to worry about forgetting to block out outbound caller ID!), and it's a headset, so I have both hands free for typing if I'm still on a chat while doing some support by phone or trying to work on an email.

Yay!

Funny, when my supervisor showed up, Hobs of course growled at him a little bit right at first, and Elf was a bit of a shivery scaredy-cat.  Angel was eager to meet this new human ... and Imp was barking his fool head off when I answered the door, but he'd run off to the far corner of the house to do so, I'm pretty sure he was scared.  It didn't take him too long too warm up and come over to do some greetings, though. Silly little thing!
