sORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE fURNACE Woo. I finally came to the realization that the furnace is going to have to come on at night since it gets so friggin cold overnight now.

I get to Play Santa tonight at Dillards for some Charity event. I dont have to use the extra padding lol

Happy Late Birthday JD!

Good Morning, I'm having a very lazy morning today, my alarm actually went off, I was sound asleep. I usually wake up 10 or 15 minutes before it goes off. Now I am letting the dryer do the work of de-wrinkling my dress shirt (hopefully) now I better get to the office. Have a great day.

Hey, I've got a couple of tunes in the que that will shake off the "crud" of this Thursday thing. Hump Day wasn't too effective.
Holiday Folk Fair tomorrow night. I've got a shift at the "American Pantry" 6-10pm.
I think there is a junk yard run on Saturday, daytime. Not sure what I'm shopping for but, that doesn't matter.
Play Saturday Night. (South Milw HS)
Work in the yard in my spare time.

Happy Thursday. Woo, stay warm.

Oh my that sounds dirty so early in the morning.


Oh and good morning....I worked really hard yesterday, I got to work to find that it was all up to me and my coworker last night to get ready for a inspection today....my boss sat on his butt and didnt do a thing. Have a good day!

been feeling a bit in a funk this week; no reason in particular....

happy thursday...

Mornin' all.

What a difference two days makes. It's COLD here today, only 3 degrees above freezing right now

I gotta go food shopping now. I'm have to get the finishing touches for next weeks Thanksgiving dinner. Then I got MORE leaves to rake. They're falling like snowflakes now! Did I mention I hate raking? I've always hated sweeping too, and raking is really just sweeping with a metal broom isn't it?

I hope everyone has a great day!

get a blower and blow the leaves into the street or the neighbor's yard! LOL

Could be quite the modern metaphor. (if you think about it)
Some people do that with work, their children, etc.
Being a former Scout leader... the drop n run happened pretty often.

It was terrible windy here yesterday. I don't have NEAR the leaves to rake I did. Most of mine are from my neighbor's tree that is right next to our driveway so I don't feel too guilty about not getting them picked up before they moved on.


I'm going to go eat lunch with my kid at school. Today is their Thanksgiving diner. He likes it when one of us goes and eats with him now and then.


I have another lady customer that I have to make a decision about. She had been a customer before and about a year and-a-half ago, she wanted to start a new site. At that time, she had "just lost her job" and asked if I could trust her and set up the site with payment to come in "a couple weeks". Since I had worked with her before, I did that.

After a while with no payment, I kept getting stories how the job market was bad, etc. etc. A while after that, I emailed her to give her a deadline on payment and a friend replied that she had been brutally raped and was in the hospital. After she got out of the hospital, she would email me now and then with updates and promises to pay as soon as she was back on her feet. She had made a couple small payments during that time, but only about 20% of what was due.

All this time, I was very skeptical, but when I talked to her, she did sound really bad. Her speech was slurred and she was not always making sense. I had to believe her that she was telling me the truth.

About two months ago, she called and said she was now suffering from total amnesia and that she wanted me to call her every two weeks and remind her of her site and what was going on with it. I didn't ever call her back.

Last week, I checked on her site to see if she had been working on it and the domains had expired. They've been bought up by a domain reseller. She didn't register the domains through me so I couldn't do anything about them expiring. When I saw that she hadn't renewed the domains, I closed her account. (This was just Saturday.)

Now today, I get an email from her saying "I'm back! I'm all healed and as good as new! I'm ready to start making payments again and get to working on my site!" She went on to thank and praise me for trusting her and letting it go on without payment as long as it has.

So, I still want to believe her . . . but the timing is just too interesting to not wonder if she's been playin' me this whole time. Her site goes away and now she's all healed and ready to get back to work on it.

For now, I replied that I closed her account because she let her domains expire so there's no reason to keep the site on the server if the domains are not working. I'll see what she says about that.

stealing some time on the computer in Roll Call, since I just ate my lunch and I have time to kill till I get back to my "Internetless" desk...

 maybe a sammich might help.

 

I got ahold of the landlord who has called someone to fix the furnace. I have not heard back yet if it has been fixed.

I still cannot do my job and I just now got internet! I have a feeling consumers are just not gonna get paid on time.

That really stinks, Woo.

I hope you can stay warm tonight!

yeah I did think about saving energy. Our furnace sucked. But when we first came to rent here they were debating on selling the house. I'm worried that this may have them thinking about it again. We would not buy it.
