Live and learn

So today is a work day for me. I only work 12 hours per week, from home on Monday/Wednesday. I "remote desktop" to my Carrollton, TX office and let Camille go play with her buddies at Parent's Day Out for a few hours.

This morning we had a training meeting and on my monitor I am able to see the live demonstration exactly as it appears projected up on the screen in the meeting room. At the same time, I am on a conference phone call, so I hear everything they say.

That also means they can hear everything over here. I was very proactive and turned off the radio and ceiling fan, spit out my gum, and had my papers in order so I wouldn't shuffle around too much. Next time, however, I will anticipate that after living in this house 10 months, the land owner across the alley will pick that day (the day of beautiful weather, with my squeaky windows raised) to send a loud beeping truck and several workers to pull up the 6 foot weeds. I'll remember that this will cause my puppy (that is usually very lazy in the morning) to get excited and jingle his little tags while making circles around the room.

I am hoping all the ruckus didn't get picked up by the phone, but it will really be interesting to see what they get to hear in June when kids are out of school!
