Er....Uh....Um

I just noticed that in Family Guy the line is "positively makes them laugh and cry" and not "positively makes them effing cry".

Maybe I'm just dirty minded.

Hmm..

My 11:00 a.m. appointment with the realtor didn't take place until 12:00 p.m. because first the realtor forgot about the appointment and then the realtor showed up 45 later than promised.

After I got over that and didn't throw her out she looked around and figures we will be able to sell the place off quickly.

She is going to list it for 225K. I just have to paint the bathroom, kitchen, foyer and bedroom. Just what I wanted to do with my spare time.

Exhaustion

I cleaned up as much as I could but not as much as I would have liked. I am so tired I keep nodding off as I sit here.

Preparations

I have to spend most of the evening cleaning and preparing for the the Century 21 realtor's visit. I don't want her to be totally disgusted and running out the door.

This place is a mess.

Preparations for a long Spring

I sent an e-mail to my Project Managers informing them I will be spending most of my time with the Estimating Department and that they will have to start fending for themselves with regards to change orders and proposals.

We'll see how many will do so. There are a few that actually prepare and set up most of their proposals which really helps me out a lot, but they are few and far between.

Price of gas

An increase of 16 cents across the board.

This on top of the billions in profits that the oil companies are reporting in the first quarter alone coupled with the tax breaks they received from the current administration has made this a boom time for oil magnates.

Of course, life sucks for the rest of us.

Help at last

I'm getting an assistant to help me get my paperwork out. I'm months behind and I really need help.

I'm torn between expectations of getting help and my usual dismay because my "help" is usually pulled away from me a month or two later.

When it rains.

My wife called me frantic today because she lost her purse. I rushed home to get her information so she could start cancelling her credit cards.

She finished cancelling all her cards and now all we have to do is wait for the replacement cards to come in so I can send them to her.

She called me two hours later to tell me her mother found my wife's purse. All that work just to find out it wasn't necessary.

My wife's trouble is she now has no access to money or credit for the next two weeks or so.

Continuing troubles in Utah

My wife called me because of troubles she's experiencing in Utah.

Not too long ago her mother offered to pick up a car for us, making payments until I get out there and we can take over.

Of course things didn't turn out the way they were supposed to. It's her mother's typical behavior he presents an offer that seems out of kindness but she then places conditions or makes changes to the situation when there is nothing else that can be done.

Her mother refused to make the payments on the insurance costs despite her agreement.

Even though I argued that we can't afford to get a second car, of course no one listened to me because I'm here and they're out there.

Doctor visit

I had my doctor's visit today to determine my surgery date and it turned out that my doctor doesn't think I need surgery just yet. The swelling has gone down considerably and I only reported a small amount of pain.

Just goes to show you what happens when you tell the truth. If I was in a great deal of pain I would get the surgery right away. Just because I'm going to need it in a few weeks, I guess it's not important right now.

Taking things in hand

I contacted the realty company since they never called me back and we made an appointment for this Saturday and they'll take a look at the apartment and give me an expected sale range.

Here we go again

Once again I am involved in the bidding process.

Considering the man I have to work with I am very unhappy with this turnabout.

Moving forward

I walked into the local Century 21 to register our co-op for sale but there was no-one there. I left our contact info and I'll have to follow-up later

I only know of a Black and Tan as Guiness and Bass Ale. It just goes to show you how little I know about European history.

Maybe we're getting a little too sensitive if Ben & Jerry have to apologize for a product name.
