For those of you waiting with bated breath for an update: got the propane delivery, insurance is probably fine but still not paid for because the rate they wanted me to pay was too high and I was all, uh, no? And they were all, oh, right, we uprated you in the past, but that's illegal now, but we forgot to take that off. Sorry about that. And I was all, huh. I bet that's happening to a lot of people if it took me calling and getting assertive to make it stop happening to me. Shouldn't that have been a regular part of the process? But they swear I'll still be covered from today should I get my payment in by the end of the month. We shall see.
And then I realized that the SO had left for his trip with all of our promotional material, half of which I shall need, but I managed to pull off an eleventh hour rescue wherein my friend in ABQ will hold onto the stuff for me until Friday when I come in for the screening.
All that made me late for work, so I ended up doing two double-up classes, which is more chaos than on a normal day, let alone one when I'm soloing, but it was fine.
And then there was standstill interstate construction traffic, which I routed through Winslow, AZ to avoid, driving directly past the corner famed in song, which made me miss my favorite coffeeshop but it's ok because I hit my favorite organic foods market instead and they had just baked a quiche.
And then I came home and laid down. I'm beat! But everything's done now for the nonce.
So you were not the girl in the flatbed Ford?
I'm just under halfway done with the priming! And part of that half is the cutting in, so uhg. But progress! I guess I'm looking at paint this weekend.
Pumpkin did not help. At one point, she stuck her paw between 2 freshly primed spindles to attack the brush. Hold down sad cat and scrub. Then she managed (while trying to attack the brush) to get one of the handful of drips I dropped straight down her front.
She really does look so hurt and betrayed when you hold her down for a scrubbing. But all is forgiven now and she's kneading my feet.
Liese was extremely productive today.
I had strawberry shortcake so life is good. I should be grading, but do not want.
I'm glad my productivity was used by a fellow Buffista. The cold continues with added asthma and major headache.
Tired of feeling like crap. It has totally harsher what should be my post vacation bliss.
First day back at Former Employer.
Boss who didn't hire me was mostly okay, although a little weird about not having any work for me. Also they didn't have computers set up for any of us, and we won't get proper IDs for months, so every day we'll have to go through the metal detector to get into the building (bah!).
My Nemesis walked past me at one point but pretended not to see me.
I had some very boring work to do, and I really need to bring in: a water bottle, utensils, spare sneakers, tea pot, surge protector, and so forth.
Tomorrow I'm going out for drinks with people, when I will presumably get the dirt.
Oh, and there's a possibility I'll get a project in Hawaii to do but I doubt they'll send me anywhere...
So you were not the girl in the flatbed Ford?
I was not. I was the woman in the Dodge Grand Caravan full of rakes and bags of recycling. Doesn't scan as well.
Woot for work, Suela. That's funny about your Nemesis. Hope it goes smoothly going forward.
Ooh. I shall cross my fingers for Hawaii and continued lack of Nemesis.
I am ensconced in the same hotel I stayed in my first time in Portland, some seven years ago, when I decided it seemed like a cool place and maybe I should move here. Sniff. I miss those coworkers! The company we worked for no longer exists though.
Comcast/Xfinity is giving one week access to a lot of shows one would normally pay big bucks to access. I'm taking advantage of this to watch the first season of "True Detective". I remember seeing some discussion of "True Detective", but not where...
