Disgusting, isn’t it? I wish they would put this sink in a trash bag, if they aren’t going to clean the crusty grime off it.

And that’s about all I have today. I had a two-hour customer service training workshop this morning, which was just about useless. The cranky it inspired is still bubbling away. An adult beverage might help, and maybe a couple of House re-runs. (Seriously. The woman running the workshop made a big production of going around and shaking hands with everyone. Aaack! I nearly turned around and left, when I saw her barreling over toward me. I don’t touch strangers. Period. And I really don’t appreciate them touching me. The whole thing was kind of ironically funny, in retrospect. That sort of overly aggressive sales job is guaranteed to lose me as a customer for life.)

Anyway, about the only good thing I can say about this day is that it’s nearly over. Oh! And I got some doodling done during the stupid workshop.

Teh Enb.

The bottom right hand corner is new. I’ve posted the rest of the individual doodles before, I think, but not all of them together. And I almost didn’t post them now, because I had a problem with my scanner. You’d think that HP would be able to pre-load its own drivers and software on its machines, but nooooo, that would be too easy. My old drivers were incompatible with the 64-bit version of Vista, so I had to go a-hunting for new ones. I had a moment of panic, because the only drivers I could find by searching HP’s website were for XP and Windows 2000, neither of which would have been helpful.

I managed to find the correct page for Vista drivers for my scanner model, via a posting to a random message board. Thankfully, there was a direct link to the HP page I needed, because I was unable to find it by searching their website. What a pain in the ass! But at least I was able to (finally!) get the right drivers, and more importantly, I don’t have to go buy a new scanner.
