Burrell, that would be me.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Ahahaha! New offer on condo, $185K, which puts it to just over half of what we paid for it. AWESOME.

Oh, my, Nora. So sorry.

Oh lord, Nora. Did something happen with the other offer?

Oh OUCH, Nora. That's painful.
My new unresponsive boss (apparently she's mad busy, but still--I've been "working" on her project for two weeks, and haven't spoken on the phone with her, and have gotten all of about three emails from her) has now replied "tentative" to the meeting request I sent her (my line manager is also kind of fed up and told me to do this) and said "Well, maybe but maybe I'll call you at 3pm eastern (1pm your time)" (no idea if that means noon here or 4pm there). ARGH. I need answers from her before I go traveling tomorrow.

Jesu Cristo, Nora. Not cool.
Saw this on twitter:
"Anybody seen my give a damn today?"
"I think I hid it next to all the fucks I give"

It is revised downward from the same people, after going in and getting an estimate on the exterior work that needs doing. Which the original price ($205K) was supposed to take into account, but whatever. Just get this house out of my life! I am nervous about what the bank will think about this, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh ugh, Nora. I'm so sorry.

Our security protocols here are so onerous that we aren't allowed to access any file-sharing sites of any type, even FTP sites owned by contractors. And our email maxes out at 5MB. As a result, it's ridiculously difficult to get files from outside entities, although I have some ability to send them.
I got so frustrated that I finally just submitted a trouble ticket, and someone called me this morning.
The answer to my question is: no, I will not be allowed to use someone else's FTP site, or file-sharing site, or a flash drive. Yes, the policy-makers know that at some point people won't be able to burn CDs to send us.
So ridiculous. I might be able to talk my local IT guys into setting up a very limited FTP site for me, if they're really nice. Argh.
Ah, well. What a mess.

Burrell - I checked my account and whoever used my credit card or replicated it or whatever the hell they did spent almost all of my money.
I can't do anything yet - but tomorrow when the post is concrete I can file some sort of dispute paperwork.
In the meantime, I am broke.
