Apps for the phone I don't have.

Bought a droid. Yay!
Finally! I'm completely last on technology. The funny part is that people think I'm a techie. People ask me techie questions. People look to me as a tech reference. Not sure why. They are way ahead of me.

Now I'm waiting weeks for my new toy to arrive, as it's on backorder. Because as usual, I'm last.

So in the meantime, I'm looking for which apps I should load onto the thing, once I get it. I was going to write up a list of them, but so many others have already done that, so we'll go with everyone else's lists. The one benefit of being last.

Real job, schmeal job

10-yo-daughter: Mom, why did you choose an office job?

Me: What do you mean?

10-yo-daughter: Well, you could have picked anything. Like a fireman or a teacher.

Me: You're right, but I chose something I went to school for... subjects I was interested in. And that led me to an office job.

10-yo-daughter: But an office job is not a REAL job.

Me: Why not?

10-yo-daughter: Because no kid says, "When I grow up, I want to work behind a desk in an office."

Me: I guess they don't.

10-yo-daughter: They all want to be something, like a doctor or an artist or a policeman. Didn't you want to BE something when you were a kid?

Sigh.

Fresh water for all

We have a water cooler in our house. Love it... love the instant availability of super-cold and super-hot water, anytime. Tap water around here is actually pretty good, but we still like the taste of the bottled water better. 

My question is: if you have a similar situation, with two huge jugs of water showing up on your doorstep every other week or so, would you use that water to fill the dog bowl? I mean, seriously? The husband claims, "If it's good enough for us, then it's good enough for the dog, too." I think he means, "If the tap water is not good enough for us, then it's not good enough for the dog, either." I respectfully disagree. Granted, the dog is a senior citizen and is pretty picky, but I'm pretty sure that she wouldn't mind the tap water over the bottled. I don't hear her howling, "Deer Park, that's good water!"
