'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
They had some follow up segments online recently, and definitely no one had bought a house David showed them, and I think only one or two had moved. Why would you?
Relatedly, HGTV really ruined my mother: She just had her bathroom totally redone, and she's disappointed that she never got to have a reveal. Mom! You live in real life!

That's adorable.
Why would you?
Really, after your house has been remodeled and redecorated just for you, why would you move? I read somewhere that even the people who said they would "list it" didn't; almost everyone stayed. Even if the house still needed remodeling in some areas, it would probably be cheaper to do that (with their now-increased equity) than to buy a new house.

My friends totally staged one of these for me when they helped me do the interim redo of my kitchen after I moved in (before I was able to manage the much needed, down to the slats redo I had done in 2008). We'd finished some of the work, painting over the horrible paneling, removing most of the American Eagle fixtures, and I'd bought laminate to cover the clown orange countertops but not put it on. Then I went out of town for a week and my friends secretly finished up the project, including making a cat bed on the newly painted radiator cover, and arranged for it to be done when I got back from the airport. It's one of the nicest things anyone's ever done for me!
That is really adorable, lisah!
Aw!
I basically went on strike today. Shoveled, called into a meeting and called it a day. Briefly contemplated sanding, but opted to be furniture instead.
OVER WINTER.
We are done shipping for the day and I have paid a few bills, so I should be done for the day too, right?
I mean c'mon. I know there is more paper to deal with on my desk BUT I DON'T WANNA AND MY HEAD HURTS!!

Aww! And wow, lisah has some amazing friends, that's so sweet!!
I am so irked at my boss. So I wrote up a report for a recent visit of a site that has been a HUGE PITA. And the person reviewing it was like "Hey, in addition to the huge PITA issues, also this other issue that has been lingering forever, have you escalated that to the boss?" and i was all "possibly not, I'll do that now". So I email bosses, and say "hey, there's this issue, do you want to do anything about it if so what". And they LITERALLY sent me about 15 emails...none of which answered that question. All of which were "well, have you told us this before? it's not listed in (report)! what about fixing (other related issue but not what I was asking about)???" I had to be like "It is listed, I'm telling you now, and that other issue was already dealt with, let me RESTATE WHAT I WROTE THE FIRST TIME" Ugh. I feel like they don't even bother to read emails you send, just glance and reply, and then when there's two of them doing that they just start a chain reaction of glance-and-reply misinformation.
Then I went out of town for a week and my friends secretly finished up the project, including making a cat bed on the newly painted radiator cover, and arranged for it to be done when I got back from the airport. It's one of the nicest things anyone's ever done for me!
Aw, that's so great!
Boss lady fucked off early for a pointless meeting in another brilliant ploy to not do any actual work. ED wants to stage an "intervention" where myself and two colleagues confront her with all the ways she disappoints, frustrates, and irritates us. Um, no? ED is such a chickenshit. She's had two probations, it's time for him to lay down the law and set out edicts and ultimatums.
