Happy new computer day. sort of.
Jan. 27th, 2023 09:02 amIT had ridiculous troubles getting some of the clerk-specific programs to install on the computer, so I got it about half an hour before I had to leave for a dentist appointment. I was able to log in to the network, and get my mail, and start the sign up process for the state Bureau of Elections (I have to apply for an account and get the application approved by the local* Clerk of Elections before BoE will create an account). So that will be ready for me next week when I go in, and I can start the BoE training. Then the week after that is the training on the new township accounting program. (I don't think they're going to add me to the countersigning team, but I will be doing data entry and check writing.)
We got over 6" of snow on Wednesday, but it stopped snowing sometime around dark so at least the main roads were clear by morning Thursday. Temperatures were close to freezing yesterday, so there was a lot of melting on the roads, too. The road we're on had been plowed but not scraped by the time I left for work, so it was a bit slushy and slippery at the (uphill) stop sign at the end of the road, but I didn't get stuck. It might be worse today, because it's much colder. OTOH, the slushy bits got plowed away sometime yesterday, because they were gone when I got home. The street is probably slippery, though.
Annabelle does not approve of this work thing at all - apparently, her cat contract gives her a certain number of lap hours every day, and if she can't get them scattered through the day, she plops on my lap after dinner and will not move. She's been somewhat weirded out by the house rearrangement as well. J got his computer moved back into the basement, so I moved my computer back into the den, and *that* meant we could rearrange the chairs in the living room. I need to find a small end table (preferably with shelves!) to fill in a spot that we didn't have before. I also need to ponder some further re-arranging in there - there's a big gap where the computer desk was, and I want to move things farther apart rather than fill in with 'new' things. (the table is non-negotiable - that chair needs somewhere for a book + cup/glass.) And now that J is out of the den, I can put the kraken rug back!
(* and by local in this case, I mean "across the office".)
