cimoreneWhen work was nearly over today, the outgoing secretary who is still training me until Thursday remembered that we were going to also add the signs about a candy-selling promotion to the slideshow that plays on the big flatscreen in the window. Since it's just a single slide, I was willing to spend a little longer in image editing software fixing it up before we plugged the USB stick back in.
Only then, with like 20 minutes left to go, a lady walked in with a box of first aid course materials that needed to go into the locked storage room, and while he was listening to her I went out to turn the LCD on and it wouldn't come on. It turned out that it wouldn't come on because it was updating itself over the internet, and when it finally turned on the entire interface looked different and had moved stuff around, but when we went back through the same menu options we've been using it didn't work the same: it randomly displayed two of the slides as little thumbnails in the center of the screen and the others full size.
We didn't have time to fix that today, so we came back inside, and were instantly waylaid by a drop-in who needed us to register them as a Hunger Day donation collector (you can do this online with an automated form, but a surprising number of people don't want to do it themselves). As soon as he sat down to type the phone rang, and it was a board member butt dialing us (fortunately I guess), so I still had time to lock up the first aid box before he finished. It was past the time we were both supposed to get off work by then, but while he was getting his lunchbox out of the kitchen a neighbor dropped in with an electric bill that had somehow gone into her mailbox instead and we both ended up leaving ten minutes late. And forgetting to take out the trash on the way (leftover from Friday for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture).
