The bathrooms at work have automagic soap dispensers. I find these quite annoying since they have a tendency not to squirt soap when I want it but to spray it on my sleeve instead, while I'm rinsing my hands. I also find it odd that these high-tech soap dispensers are even in bathrooms where the taps are manual, so to speak.
At least we have been spared the agony of automatic toilets. We're professionals; we can be trusted to flush.
Otherwise work is proceeding well. I say work;
in fact I have accomplished little besides sucking the time and patience of my boss, who is training me but also has ActualWork(tm) to do. I have a lot to learn in a short amount of time, and what seems to have happened is that I've already sucked up as much information as I can handle (and thus can't learn much more) but cannot as yet be trusted with ActualWork.
I have been assured that this state will not last long and that my current state of temporary boredom will aquire a sheen of pleasant nostalgia. For the moment, I grasp at productive activities I can do without stressing my last two functioning brain cells more than they can handle.
The only other possibly interesting tidbit of news is that I now have a California driver's license, although the plastic card won't come in the mail for another four weeks or so. I also filled out the voter registration form while I was there, so that's two birds hit with one stone.
