I like to chop

Excellent! I will put you down for Zombie Dismemberment Committee!

Unless you would prefer the Defenestration Brigade.

It would pain me (NPI) to break good windows, given my trade.

Hrm. Ok, machete it is!

And I'm guessing less than 75% humidity? I will need to bring layers! How exciting.

Being thrilled at humidity under 75% amuses me, says the woman currently thinking 15% is a touch muggy.

Annoying thing at work today. You may remember me, not long after starting this job, learning that my coworker L (another sub) told my boss that I never cleaned up after myself. My boss already knew that was BS. Well, the mess I was cleaning up was one he made. He came and worked with us for a few hours, and then left. Talk to my boss after work, find out L complained about having to pay for our labor, that we were too slow.

...

Hey asshole, maybe that's because you a) didn't clean half of the windows you scraped b) weren't doing the precarious balancing act that I was doing most of the time (one foot on a 12 ft ladder, one on top of the bottom sash of the window, legs a few feet apart in a lunge), and c) I had to go back AGAIN when cleaning the windows you had scraped and scrape more, because you didn't do the best job. Not to mention you didn't put cardboard down on the sill you stood on (which was brick freshly painted a flat white) and it's now dingy. And you just walked out without throwing away the drop cloth on the window you scraped and cleaned soooo quickly.

Fortunately, again, my boss knows the deal, and his response to L was, "If you did it faster it's probably because you weren't doing it right."

Also - if he hadn't screwed up the first time, we wouldn't have gotten yanked off our high-priority job to go clean windows! Oy.

9:15 pm, 81 degrees, 83% humidity. When I lived in Moldova, I complained about the dryness of the air, and my Coloradan colleague complained about the humidity.

Speaking of machete, apparently my sister is not buying me one in Belize. I have told her this clearly indicates a lack of love.

No reply to email.

I've been having vague fantasies about getting TFO of NOLA, running away to, like, San Francisco. Or Amsterdam.

For the second day in a row, I got home in time to watch the pretty colors of sunset. Tonight started out a bit bland, just some nice pinks on the clouds. But wait 15 more minutes, and the sky has every color in the rainbow. So pretty. Sure makes a nice end to the day.

Fortunately, again, my boss knows the deal, and his response to L was, "If you did it faster it's probably because you weren't doing it right."

Ha! Great response. Wise man!

It's 70 degrees, 84% humidity at 10:18 here, so think 75 to 80 degrees, 90% humidity for my party. Which I am making plans for right now.
