Work babble

When I'm at work I'm constantly trying to reshape my habits into more efficient ones.
I challenge myself in ways that are perhaps inconsequential. It makes me feel like a grownup, but I don't imagine anyone around me sees a reflection in my work that has changed... I periodically discover that I'm going through more processes than I need to (I want to tell the most recent one even though it might not make sense. We have all these function keys for doing different services, like checking someone out. I hit F1 and I get a box that says display user, that is how I scan someone's card. Once their account is up there are about three different options at the bottom of the screen. I just started paying attention to the first one, which is "display another user", which means I can hit that button to start checking someone else out. Til today I've been closing out each account and hitting F1 again.) But old habits die hard. Half the time I remember the other half I forget.

Another expediating process is using the function keys instead of the mouse to select, at any rate I think it's better for my wrists. But who doesn't know that. I just mean it's another transition I've been making, mouse is brainless- therefore I gravitate towards doing it that way, the function keys (actually I don't mean the function keys, It's shift and just a number.)

It's going to pour! Probably right as I leave... Speaking of inevitable things the neighbors rottweiler used to go nuts on me from his chain link fence when I would dump my compost in the bin in back. I started avoiding going out there because the dog was so aggressive and it really angered me that the owner didn't do anything about it. (I used to fantasize about winging something at the dog. My mom didn't think that was funny. Just a pipe dream.) But recently that all stopped, every time I went out I had complete peace. I used to try to sneak out there unheard which is impossible because of the pine needle and crunchy holly leaf base I had to walk over. So I told my mom about being able to go out there in peace now, just before bringing something out- I didn't want to be superstitious about it, but the bloody dog _did_ show up. He was kind of sedate compared to the past and his owner called him away from the fence. Shocker.

I've been lying on the sidewalk with the little red spiders. I did draw for a while, but I got sick of doing that too. After awhile in one branch I run out of things to draw. And people move too much. I've got three minutes left!
