.. and i’m still at work. i got here at 10 today (i think).. so what’s that? um (brain smoking while doing simple math) 14 hours?
most servers are done. it’s taking me forever in a day to do these kernel upgrades. jeez. but it will feel good to have it mostly done before i start my weekend. i don’t want to feel bugged by it the next 4 days. i got tuesday off next week.. and that friday, and the tuesday after that .. yay. should be plenty of time to take care of house-business.
alrighty then. that be it.
so many things have happened tonight to frustrate the living shit outta me. i’m not even going to get into it. i’m tired, haven’t accomplished anything and am still at work. jesus christ. i’m closing shop, goodnight.
apparently i’m doing it again tonight. my body is tired but my mind is saying “i have things to do and have to get it done before sunrise!” there’s something about working while most of the timezone is sleeping that brings out the productivity in me. I still have 75 email unread beginning tuesday 9am. and i have a feeling something went on cuz it’s unusual, i think, to have that many email in 36 hours time. we’ll see.
resistence is futile. i have succeeded in assimilating my sister to LJ-land. her userid (she’s got a good sense of humor) is grocerynipples . i think there’s a true story behind that name.
I worked on the house for 12 hours yesterday and all i did was discover paint falling off the living room walls and i worked on scraping it all off *All* day long. and it didn’t help get us any closer to painting the house. i may schedule another of my vacation days for next week tuesday in case we don’t get to paint on schedule cuz we HAVE to move in on the 24th - there’s no way around that. and i’d rather not move into the unpainted dusty mess that it is now.
osxaltivec (dennis) met tela on monday night. chinasunflwr brought her over to the house. i could tell by his body language that he was still on pessimistic mode but after a few minutes i could see him forget that and have fun w/ tela and scully’s ball. that little visit did wonders to melt my heart too and take away the doubts i had about a 3rd dog in the place. She’s a very sweet dog and I’m looking forward to having her with us. I’ll kick bullet in the ass if he acts up, that little punk. after the visit i asked dennis what he thought of tela and he said “she’s cool” but i think what he really REALLY was thinking is “damn, she’s so cool and i like her so much but bullet will never ever accept another dog in his little world”. i would love to prove him wrong about bullet’s ability to adapt. heehee. we should make a bet he and i. if i win, he rubs my feet every night for a month .. that would be cool.
cute photo of bullet posing as sleeping beauty.
i guess leprechaunman isn’t a *complete* tyrant afterall. .. I told him I needed today off to work on the house more and he said “As long as you have the time coming to you its fine by me” .. the kicker is he said he “i REALLY need to go over group28/29 with you to see where things are. Let me know where I can call you today.” i think i might conveniently let my cell phone battery die.. bwahahahahahaaaaa…
after today and my other 2 days i have scheduled for next week, i’ll still have 6 vacation days left. wow! and only 6 weeks to use them by.. that is cool cuz i’ll need them. I think i might schedule a whole week or just 2 days a week before the holidays.. heh, it will feel like a vacation every week for the rest of the year.
today we spent a good 500 bucks on stuff for the house. paint rollers, paint brushes, spackle, spackle spatulas, lawn mower, weed wacker, broom, blah blah, the list goes on.
we removed everything removable from the walls, including window blinds, closet doors, door knobs, socket covers, light swtich covers, etc.. we could identify at least 4 different coats of paint on those walls from the gunk on those socket covers. apparently the house was white, then green, then pink, then white again. next week, it will be offwhite and green. heehee.
one thing that pisses me off about that house is it has NO LIGHTS! it’s so annoying to try to do work when it’s so freaking dark! hopfully tomorrow dennis can start adding light fixtures to those ceiling fans. at the end of the day, i sat down in my yard and ate fruit from the trees for an hour. wow having a mature fruit tree in your yard is like living in a your own little garden of eden. there are oranges, grapefruit and tangerines all weighing the branches down there are so many of them. and dozens are lying on the ground ripe and rotting - we’ll need to thro those out tomorrow. the grapefruit are the best, imo. yum!
welp, just finished catching up on email and message forums…. so it’s back to packing for me.
ciao.
