No plan survives contact with the family

I was looking forward to getting a solid night's sleep for the first time this week followed by a productive couple of hours tidying up before the arrival of my father around lunchtime tomorrow. So naturally he called me last night to say he's coming up today instead. And since he apparently can't leave STL until late afternoon, it'll be quite late before he gets here. And since it is my father, he'll doubtless manage to get lost in the dark coming to our place, which means I'll be very lucky to be in bed before midnight.
But so be it; at this point, I'm just looking forward to being out of the office, since it's hard to believe he could be more of a pain than my boss in her end-of-the-fiscal-year fugue. Staying late yesterday to get her the damn statistics still didn't prevent her from scolding me about them in the middle of the department. It's a simple three-step procedure to load them into the workbook and she categorically refuses to learn how to do it herself--which is fine, I suppose, because I'd hate to see how she'd manage to bollox that up.
