Alyssa's ramblings...

Fourteen days.

Today, I finally went to get my name changed on my driver’s licence. You’re supposed to let Queensland Transport know within 14 days of the change, but it’s been over three months, and… *oops!* I don’t see how many people could get it within the 14 day deadline, because I was on my honeymoon for two weeks, and then I had to order the official marriage certificate from the government, and that took over two weeks to arrive! So who knows? But it’s done now. They didn’t say anything about the 14 days. And I have a nice new driver’s licence, with a new photo! Too bad my licence expires in April, so I’ll have to go in again, and get another new photo taken. :o) Don’t worry, I can handle it.

We’ve been receiving a freakishly large volume of phone calls today. Well, when I say ‘freakishly large’, I mean ‘large compared to how many we usually get, but still small compared to every other company in the world, especially those with more than three employees’. Did you know we only have three employees? We have a board and some committees (with reps from other companies within our industry), and contractors do work for us occasionally, but as far as ‘real’ employees go, there’s only three. I think that’s pretty cool, but it’s not really a huge bragging point.

To do the accounting, I have to go into an office just across the hall from my reception area. When the air-conditioning is on, it’s a bit hard to hear the phone from there. I usually hear a faint ringing, hit the ‘pickup’ button, and everything’s fine… but I find myself listening so intently, that I think I hear the phone even when it’s not ringing. I’ve been trying to learn how to discern which calls are real and which are imaginary, but it’s not as easy as it sounds.

As I was going to have lunch (at about 12:40), I got an 800ml bottle of water from the fridge. By 1:00, I had completely finished all of it. AND, I don’t even need to go to the toilet yet! (Too much information? Sorry…)

I just called my husband. He couldn’t talk for long, but it was enough. Just to hear the sound of his voice brightens my day. I miss him. :o)
