many things
okay. First.
Tonight at work, I get a call from the daughter of one of our tenants. Her mother isn't answering the phone, and she should be awake, 'cause they normally call at this time, and... You get the idea.
I called twice, let the phone ring 40-50 times. No answer. So I asked Eugene to go up and check on her.
She didn't answer the door, and he knocked and rang the bell and stuff.
Called the daughter back after finding out we haven't a set of keys to that unit. Daughter and family arrive about ten minutes later.
Two minutes after going upstairs, daughter comes down and says she's forgotten the alarm code, so could we call the police and let them know that it's a false alarm, since there isn't anyone breaking and entering, they're just checking on her mom.
So. I, never having done so before, have to call the police department. Shaking in my boots is what I was doing.
Called, and was very calm and articulate (chee!), but it's sop for them to still send a car.
So. Daughter goes back up.
Twenty minutes go by.
I don't know if I actually care, but. Worst case scenario is always what I consider. So I'm thinking, dead person. And they haven't called.
They come down, everything was fine... her phone wasn't ringing and she'd fallen asleep.
Gee. Guess I got all paranoid and worried for nothing.
So. Talked to Don when he came out. Apparently, this has happened before. NICE of people to have warned me.
One good thing came out of it. I proved to myself that I can be competent on the phone.

Happily, I have started heading back to school again. Photoshop... Mmm.
Anyway. Got a banner that I'm okay with for now, for the Iron Heart site.
Made Bevy a banner for her Icon site... Yes, I am very proud of it.
I may not do icons much, but I am SO the banner queen... er.
Also worked on some banners for Tangleses boards, but will finish all first. Tomorrow, as it happens...

On the subject of web design...
I went hunting today, for the sites that I keep getting told are SO wonderful. These are people I know IRL, btw.
Archon Everyone says "But it's sooo informative!" Uh, yeah. Right.
Second, The Umiak by a friend of mine.
And, third, The House of Unspellable dumb names Also by a friend of mine... And no, the misspelling aren't deliberate. He just can't fucking spell.
Did I mention the music that can't be turned off?
Did I mention Mike's comment to me about graphics? "We'll find someone more graphic-oriented to do the site, once you've got it up and running." Fuck No.
I'm so tempted to tell him to take it or leave it. But.
Will show him This first. Mind the stupid geocrappies thingie.
I'm actually rather proud of the design... It sort of melds simplicity with pompousness... Although I need to redo the banner. Sigh.
Anyway. That's my day, for now. Maybe other stuff another time. Sleep sounds good.

But . . . but . . .
Even after I sat in your lap and begged. I incurred Rogue's wrath for somebody to write me!
Do you have any idea how hard the couches in the mansion are? Try sleeping on cinderblocks.
Do you know how dumb I am for just not going to sleep back up in my own bedroom? I mean I have this nice bed in it and everything. All I had to do was go up the friggin' stairs. But nooooo....
Ahem. Now is when we see that me prostituting myself out apparently doesn't work. *le sigh*
