Oh, not at work. My buses in either direction were on time and the AC was working, I finally made headway with the issue I've been having in the part of the Job That's Eating Away at Me (basically, what I've been trying to do I can no longer do because a site migration has locked out everyone who isn't a manager for the client, so my counterpart there has to do it instead) and got through all the expense reports I need to submit before the firm shuts down for a week starting on Monday, and most importantly I was able to leave my laptop locked in my office desk so I didn't have to schlep it back in this horrid heat. No, the disasters came from the home front today. First, possibly due to the combination of the extreme heat which followed April-like weather, our wall-mounted hanging pot rack fell down completely. Fortunately, the only casualties were a mug and a glass, and Robin had cleaned and straightened the lot by the time I got home, but he told me the clatter it made was loud enough to bring our downstairs neighbor up to make sure we were okay. I found homes for everything that didn't actually need hanging up, and will be washing the pots and a few of the pans tomorrow as they've been dirtied and covered in a bit of a greasy film. The other event was our electricity shorting out. We suspect a blown transformer in the area, and fortunately it was back after only 80 minutes, which I consider miraculous. So lucky to live in a city where municipal workers are so good at their jobs and the government agencies actually care! And things are looking up, Mamdani (my first choice) won the Democratic mayoral primary, proving I'm not the only New Yorker of Jewish ancestry who can tell the difference between being anti-semitic and anti-Netanyahu (just like one can love the USA but dislike the folks running it). Now all that's left is for this heat to break.
