The day has it's ways on the way to vacation

Soon after getting to work today I found myself caught in an administrative Chinese fire drill. The office business manager started questioning the graphics software licensing which had gone through an audit last spring and I had thought everything had been resolved. After several rounds of email exchanges I finally sent an email suggesting all involved meet and work this out because the constant round of emails was very disruptive to getting anything done to which she sent an email saying everything was resolved. I had the feeling she was a little ticked off with my reason for meeting but I found out later that as it turned out the work that had been done in the spring had taken care of the problem and she had been a Johnny-come-lately to the situation. Otherwise I didn't have any projects to work on so I was busy entering my involvement in the system that keeps track of past proposals to use in searches for participants in future proposals. Sounds like fun? After lunch all that changed and I found myself up to my neck with work to do which will take me though tomorrow. Then it's off to a weeks vacation.
