Mal ,'Safe'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Both times we bought a house, the sellers refused to bargain over inspection results, but in both cases, we were buying from estates. We ended up letting all the issues go, so as not to lose the house. It's usually not as bad as it sounds, though. I mean, someone has been living there.
That sounds comforting until you realise that you were buying from estates.
I was just going to point that out, bt.

The house could have killed them.
That's less scary a home-inspector report than usual, sj.
Jilli,
I am sure you charmed them into submission.
Congratulations! more in-person interview 'ma!
It helps that the hiring manager knows of me and used to work for Microsoft, so we were able to talk in shorthand terms about content management and the sort of things I'm really good at.
Jilli, is it a content strategy job?
Next time I'm moving to a new house or apartment, remind me to ask whether the neighbors have a band. (I don't know what I can or should do here. It's not absurdly late, but the sound is just really annoying. In an apartment building, I'd feel fine asking them to turn it down, but I don't know what the rules are when the noise is coming from another house.)
Jilli, is it a content strategy job?
Kinda. The job title is primary technical writer, but the manager says that it's more content strategy and management.
Cool! That's what Bob does. I didn't know it was a thing until we met!
Not bad at at when it is easily repairable stuff and not serious structural issues. Sounds like a win to me.
Fighting with my son again. Have I mentioned parenting sucks? I'd like to fast forward 10 years to when he should have his act together, except for the me being 68 part.
In happier news, the younger son has 4 As and 3 Bs. Also, DH's basketball team is between 16th to 20th on the various national rankings lists, which considering the number of High Schools is pretty awesome. Just went to the regional quarter finals. Another running clock. The last several games they have had better than a 35 point spread so they let the clock run. They are really good. 4 more games this season including the state championship if we win the next 3. All games end of season now.
