10am and already it's a Day

I got an early start today, thanks at least in part to the weekend's aggressive napping schedule. I do not especially care for the fact that a fifteen-minute difference in when I leave the house results, on days when I drive, in a thirty-minute difference in when I arrive at work -- so I can arrive at 8:45 or 9:15, but never jam today 9:00 -- but today, the early arrival was a good thing, because it turned out today was the day I had an interview scheduled for 9am! Unfortunately, IT was in no way ready for this (new guy had forgotten his keys and didn't know he could ask security to let him into his office, and then when they did, he didn't know where to find the gizmos I needed), but that's okay, because there were other non-technical difficulties resulting in the whole thing being postponed.

So now I just have interviews at 11:00 and 3:00. The 3pm one should be fine; here's hoping 11am doesn't have the same Difficulties as 9am had.

i'll tell you what

My day didn't get an awful lot better -- a bit, but not a lot -- and soon I have to head off to a rehearsal I don't especially want to go to, although as I said to sanj earlier today I suspect I won't hate it much once I'm there.

On the plus side, I have Green & Black chocolate. I know you'll scoff because I have some milk chocolate and some white chocolate (I can just hear the_emu now: "Why would you want chocolate with all the chocolate taken out?") and nothing dark, but I'm not sorry, and I do like that their milk chocolate is 34% cocoa while most others' are 33%. That extra single point makes a surprising amount of difference. (Even the white chocolate is 30%. I put cream in my coffee, too. I refuse to entertain the suggestion that this makes me in any way weak, wrong, or other words beginning with w.)
