Aww, crap. I may be imagining it, but I think one of my smoke alarms just started beeping — the “My battery is almost dead” beep.
First thought: Aw, crap.
Second thought: I don’t want to have to drag the ladder inside and climb up to get to it.
Third thought: I hope I have the right kind of battery in the drawer.
Fourth thought: Doh, if I don’t have the right battery, I’m screwed. FedEx is due today with the new computer vid card and I’ll have to sign for it, so can’t leave.
Fifth thought: I hope that’s not the alarm on the raised ceiling that I can’t reach.
Sixth thought: Could be worse. Could have started in the middle of the night.
Seventh thought: Blogging sure is easier than getting up and fixing the damn beep, but the longer I wait, the more frustrated I’m going to get.
And I’ve already got a headache.
20 minutes later: Crisis contained. Disaster averted. It was in the bedroom, but I did have a battery.
You wanna know how “slow” I am. I kept seeing your updates in my reader, but every time I came by for a visit I saw that “We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming” at the top and thought your blog had malfunctioned. I just realized by scrolling down that, whoop! There are all your new posts.
“It WAS in the bedroom, but I DID have a battery” did I just catch a naughty there, or is my mind in the gutter… again
I’m glad to know I’m just an idiot and your blog is fine. I’ll come back tonight at work and attempt to catch up here!

LOL. I hadn’t read it that way until you mentioned it. Methinks you won’t be the only one to see it that way.
I guess I should unstick the test pattern. You may not be the only one missing new posts below it.
