Bleeping time zones

[hrj]

I haven't quite gotten the hang of fitting phone calls to eastern time zones into my schedule. Yesterday, I missed the window of opportunity to catch my dad. Today I got some time in with him, but by the time I'd finished the shopping and gym and gotten home, it was after the hospital's 10pm cutoff for putting calls through, thus missing the window for mom. But evidently she was up and walking the hallways on the new hip and learning all the tricks about how to make it do things.

Went off to the flooring store at lunch today to sign the contract -- they'll get back to me about scheduling, but keep assuring me that getting it done before my end-of-the-month houseguest shows up won't be a problem. (The main problem there is that all the correspondence with said houseguest was on the laptop, so I'm floundering to get back in contact.) I'm slowly getting the laptop rebuilt, but the multi-tasking is a pain, simultaneously eating dinner, reading mail/groups/etc., and feeding program CDs into the laptop.

I have two jobs that I am working remotely with people in NY. One guy uses email a lot, and so no problem. The other (the new one) likes to use the phone (and he rambles ... sigh), which does have it's difficulties, to put it mildly.
