The call center gave me a call last night, though my cell phone never rang, which is very normal. Eventually, that, ummm... wonderful piece of... technology, started beeping, to indicate once again I didn't answer the call when the phone never rang. Understand one thing, that cell phone almost never rings; messages just show up from time to time. Anyway, I have to a service call to attend to this morning at Fortune Bay, near Ely. I am not thrilled about leaving during this weekend, since Heather's parents arrived last night from Indiana. However, that is how it goes sometimes. I am on-call and it is part of the job responsibilities. Heather and I, long ago, learned to deal with the unpredictability that comes with the job. The benefits of my job far outweigh the occasional interruptions.

Since my in-laws are only here for the weekend, I want to come home as early as possible. Therefore, I am leaving at 6 a.m., a few hours before they wake up. With any luck, I will return from the service call by 2 p.m. Wish me luck.
