Not so bad going down...

Today was going to be a hell day: too much work, and all of it impossible, a dead computer and a long call to customer service, and a bike to repair.

Instead, I had a delicious bike ride before the day heated up, customer service couldn't have been more helpful, and it looks like the work situation will smooth itself out with minimal stress. The bike can't be repaired until I get back from N'ton, but I can manage until then, and if that's the only crimp in the day, I'll definitely take it.
