Well, we got a lot done today at our house.

For one thing, my office chair finally gave up even pretending to be remotely pneumatic the other day. But I had a plan. I took a piece of 4 inch wide PVC pipe and cut off a chunk of the right length with a hacksaw. then I carefully pried off the Jesus clip at the bottom of the base and pulled it apart, slipped the tube on the shaft and remounted the base.

Now I have a chair of the right height. It's not all pneumatic and stuff, but it dame sure won't be making me squat at the computer.

That I did while Andi went and transferred the title of her new car at the DMV.

After that I called the guy who had left his number with Andi a year ago saying if I ever wanted to sell one or both of our old Chevy Caprices, give him a call.

So I did.

He came over and looked them over and we settled on a price.

Then Andi and I went and got our new used couch from her coworker. We has spent some time earlier in the day seeing if we could get a trailer for her caprice, but the cost was high, or they were out, or we had the wrong hitch, etc. Eventually we just called the coworker and asked if she know someone who had a truck who would schlep it to us for $20. She did. So we went and got that done and went to supper while waiting for the guy to come back and actually buy and take away the cars.

The Gran Plaza Mexican restaurant is in our back yard, so at 7 PM I walked back to the house just in time for the car-buying guy to show up with friends to buy our old cars.

Fifteen minutes later and we were down to 2 cars again, and a lot more room in the driveway.

Whew. And that's the short version.

Way too busy!!! but good on you guys

My new-ish PCA is 15 minutes late and not answering her phone. This is very bad practice, in my book (we went over this in her initial training). It might be time for me to do scary employer.

the only reason that she got to multiple chances is that she's a student. she fucked the third and got bounced.

Oh yeah, totally understandable. I wasn't implying that you should have let her go earlier.

HUJI schedule planning results for me: I believe the word is arbitrariness.

Could be worse, but I'll need some time to fix what they thought they were doing. Oh, and all of my extra cool sociology classes are out of the window, without any explanation.

My window of opportunities for corrections will be opened only in 6 days. Till then, I think it's rather pointless to sit and stare and go WTF at the results.

Idiotic automatic planner.

Oh, and all of my extra cool sociology classes are out of the window, without any explanation.

Did they cancel the classes? How irritating. What classes are on your schedule otherwise? Anything particularly interesting?

That's awesome, Sox! And here I've been relying on JZ!

Did they cancel the classes?

Nope. I have no idea what they've done. The system in my university is "do your best according to to our ambiguous instrucstions and the partial info you'll get from the scartiats, and in your final year we'll see how well you've done and advise you what to do.

And no, we do not pay for the psychiatric consultation our system yields".

In 6 days I'll see what I can do.

Oh, thank you!

JZ beats a bot anyday.
