Have you ever noticed, when your computer crashes and has to be carted off to the computer hospital, how great dunes of dust accumulate behind and around the place it occupies? Maybe you’ve also noticed the way computer cords reproduce in the secret cubbyholes behind hardware and under desks. Expose them to the light of day and they start to writhe around.
Gross.
With the iMac out of the house, these conditions became alarmingly apparent here. So today I finally bestirred myself to haul out the rags, sort the tangled cables, beat back the ravening, fanged dust bunnies, pay some bills, sort and (mostly) throw away stacks of paper. Now, finally, we can see the top of the desk. Interestingly, it appears to be made of wood!
Out the door at 6:30 in the morning, headed for a breakfast meeting in Scottsdale. Back in front of the computer, wrestling with the hated BlackBoard until around 2:00 p.m. I think things are now mostly under control…it took some time to hammer the grade sheet back into shape, but the last I saw, it was pretty well under control. Thence to bed-changing and laundry and housecleaning and pool cleaning
Needless to say, no real, productive work has gotten done today.
Nor will it this evening: in another 40 minutes it’s off to another event, it being 5:30 already. Feed the dog first, then out the door again.
God, I hate days like this!

Yeah, I’m beginning to think that computers are the secret breeding grounds of dust bunnies…
