For no reason (other than my own amusement, of course)...

Because of all the renovation-related noise and dust, I got to work from home following my 2:30 PM meeting. It all went very smoothly until the server started acting up and my remote email access was interrupted.

My coworker also lost her connection to the museum’s server, and we started emailing back and forth using our personal email accounts to pass the time until our connection to the server was restored.

Here is part of that thread:

(Note: Chloe is Nora's sweet but not-too-bright cat that has a random list of kitty aliments)

As he should be – he wants a monkey.

Or kibble. But a monkey would be fun, too. Unless he was afraid of said monkey (very possible), and then, no.

How does Chloe feel about monkeys? Maybe a monkey poked the holes in her eyes when you weren't looking?

Chloe is scared of the screaming monkey toy we have at the house. So no more monkeys for us.

What is Gypsy doing?

Periodically licking my leg and running her lampshade into the backs of my calves. You know, same ole', same ole'.

Why is she wearing a lampshade and is she dancing on any tables?

When 5 PM finally came and went with no server connection, Nora and I both decided to call it a day.

Aren’t museum renovations fun?! Blah…
