Ten Ways A Change Changes Your Day

This meant I had to come into the office (there now) to cut a paper check.

Out of the sweats and into the jeans. Car wasn't blocked in (we have three cars in a four spot driveway).

Have to indirectly deal with the sink hole related delays. Pre sink holes what is normally a 25-30 minute ride (depending on traffic lights) ends up being 50 minutes. At 6:30am.

Fridays I normally get a Taylor Ham (or pork roll), egg & cheese sandwich at the deli by our office. Would have missed that little bit of heaven today. And lottery tickets.

The woman who didn't get her pay had changed from hourly to salaried, and should have been set up as "auto-pay" in our payroll service. We changed after at least 15 years with ADP to Paylocity. They're better in some ways (cost savings, customer service) but I'm still learning their website structure to find basic functions. Not always logical...

She says she doesn't have gas money to get to the office, so I will have to get it to her, as no one else in the organization is traveling out that way.

Guess who gets to drop off the check... Her location is at one of our residences - just about exactly the same distance to the west that work is from the east. So I doubled my drive time today when I shouldn't have been driving at all.

One thing off the list that was for Monday. And, got a couple things done quicker because I'm here and not remoting in (which is great, but has a short lag with some programs).

Going to stop on the way home to look at tropical fish. Always fun.

After all this, I can count drive time as work time, and by the time I get home, I'll have at least three quarters of a work day done (started 5am). May decide to bag the rest of the day except monitoring e-mails.
