Work sucked yesterday. The formerly weekly, now biweekly, report depends on inputs from team leads or their deputies. There are 11 of them. In theory they're due by close of business Thursday. In practice, as long as most of them are in by 8 AM Friday and none are later than 10 AM, we can easily finish editing and compiling them by noon, which is our internal deadline to get it to our own team lead. Yesterday, we were still waiting for two by 1:30 PM. The submitters were aware of them and were in contact with us, they just had more important things going on, apparently.

Dealing with problems with this report is an ongoing battle. The process recently changed from weekly to biweekly, which is good, but I wonder if it has caused people to forget about it until too late or something. 

After school the kid came here with her pod-mate and the nanny to play for a bit. They left at the last minute for us to get the kid to her gymnastics class. Then T. had to call a roofer because her dad was freaking out about problems we may have, so we were a few minutes late to gymnastics. While the kid was flipping around, I returned a phone charger I didn't need and T. went to the library. Then we both went grocery shopping. We got burritos just in time for the end of the class and ate at home.
